The former executive sued by Robert De Niro’s production company for alleged embezzlement has filed a counter suit, claiming that she was a “casualty” of “gender discrimination in the workplace”.
“De Niro also stood idly by while his friend slapped Ms Robinson on her buttocks.”
According to Robinson’s complaint, De Niro called her a “bitch” and a “brat”, and asked her “to scratch his back, button his shirts, fix his collars, tie his ties, and prod him awake when he was in bed.”
De Niro’s representatives have been contacted for a response.
