Robert De Niro's company sued one employee for embezzlement and binge-watching during working hours at six million dollars. Six weeks later, the actor's long-time employee filed a lawsuit - demanding $ 12 million from the Hollywood star.
The 37-year-old accuses Robert De Niro in the suit filed in Manhattan, treating her sexistically and condescendingly. The 67-year-old had made sexually derogatory comments had fallen out. De Niro sometimes asked the woman to scratch him on the back, straighten his ties or collar and wake him up.
"De Niro has often tirades against Mrs. Robinson while he was drunk," it says in the lawsuit. He vilified, verbalized, bullied her. "De Niro made vulgar, lewd, and gender stereotyped comments to Ms. Robinson." He also joked with her about a Viagra recipe.
Who takes revenge on whom?
In turn, the lawsuit filed by De Niro's company against women includes excessive television watching during working hours. According to court records, Canal Productions accuses the woman of having seen 55 episodes of the series "Friends" at her workplace within four days. In a similar length of time she has seen twenty episodes of "Arrested Development" and ten episodes "Schitt's Creek".
In addition, they should have spent their employer's money for private purposes. Over two years, she is said to have spent more than $ 20,000 in restaurants and around $ 32,000 for over- and taxi rides. On personal trips, she is said to have consumed millions of De Niro's frequent flyer miles.
The woman, who initially worked as an assistant, later as vice president of production and finance at Canal Productions, still does not want to hear her complaint as an act of revenge. She had already announced after her departure from the company legal action against De Niro. The lawsuit against her again had a lasting effect on her life.
