In 2019, the actor sued his ex-assistant and demanded compensation of $ 6 million (about 5.3 million euros). The new details from De Niro’s indictment come from court documents that RadarOnline was able to access. For example, a letter has been submitted from the actor’s lawyer to Robinson. It states that she allegedly abused the credit card of De Niro’s production company Canal Productions several times, including to pay for expensive trips, restaurant visits and a dog sitter. In addition, the woman would have abused De Niro’s airmiles (points or air miles that you can save, ed), worth 300,000 dollars (264,000 euros). The lawyer further alleges that Robinson used the card for Uber rides, new mobile phones and flowers for her home. The original indictment also alleged that the woman watched excessive television during her working hours, including 55 episodes of ‘Friends’ in four days.

Robinson began working as a personal assistant to De Niro in 2008, and during her four-year tenure, worked her way up to Vice President of Production and Finance at Canal Productions. Robinson called the actor’s lawsuit an attempt to cover up her allegations of sexism and verbal abuse. The former employee therefore denies any allegations against her. Both cases are still ongoing.
