Actor Robert De Niro accused of gender discrimination in $20 million counter-lawsuit by former employee

Hollywood Actor, Robert De Niro is now facing a gender discrimination lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday against De Niro in Manhattan federal court by Graham Chase Robinson, a former employee of the actor.

Robinson accused De Niro of gender discrimination, harassment, unwanted physical contact and being verbally abusive in the lawsuit.

“Robert De Niro is someone who has clung to old mores,” the lawsuit claimed. “He does not accept the idea that men should treat women as equals. He does not care that gender discrimination in the workplace violates the law. Ms. Robinson is a casualty of this attitude.”

Robinson claimed De Niro treated her as his “office wife” and made her do “stereotypically female duties, like housework.”

She also alleged she was underpaid and denied overtime pay.

The lawsuit is a countersuit from Robinson which comes after De Niro sued her for $6 million, alleging that the former employee stole money from his company, Canal Productions and binge watched excessive amounts of “Friends” on Netflix while on the job.
