Robert De Niro, 80, shared a smile with his social media followers as he posed with his new daughter, 10-month-old Gia.

Living screen legend Robert De Niro became uncharacteristically verklempt while discussing his newborn daughter in an interview this week, telling AARP that parenting his baby girl is “wondrous.”
“I’m an 80-year-old dad and it’s great,” De Niro told the magazine for its latest cover story. “Everything that I’m consumed with or worried about… this and that… just goes away when I look at her.”
At that point in the sit-down, which mostly covered De Niro’s seven-decade-spanning career, working with Martin Scorsese and their latest, the Oscar-nominated Killers of the Flower Moon, the veteran actor and nine-time Oscar contender began to tear up. “That in itself is wondrous.”
De Niro, traditionally affable but solidly stoic while discussing his life and work, then quickly composed himself as he shared details about his growing bond with his baby girl; he even compared the experience to time with the daughter...

On Thursday, a Manhattan jury ordered Robert De Niro’s company, Canal Productions, to pay his former assistant a total of $1.26 million in damages after the firm was found liable for gender discrimination and retaliation.
Although De Niro, 80, was not held personally responsible, the jury determined that Canal Productions should compensate his former longtime right-hand woman, Graham Chase Robinson, $632,142 for each of the charges.
Robinson, 41, worked for De Niro in various positions, from executive assistant to VP of production and finance between 2008 and April 2019. The legal dispute between Robinson and Canal Productions commenced in August 2019, when Canal filed a lawsuit against former employee Robinson, in which they alleged she had stolen millions of Delta SkyMiles, spent thousands on Uber rides and fancy dinners while being a lazy worker who neglected her duties.
Robinson responded with her own $12 million suit and claimed that De Niro never gave her a moment off,...

Robert De Niro’s company Canal Productions was found to be liable in the gender discrimination trial brought by his former employee, Graham Chase Robinson, a jury ruled on Thursday. De Niro himself was not found to be liable. The jury ruled that Robinson should be awarded $1,264,285.72 by Canal for non-monetary and monetary damages.
Canal Productions was found liable on gender discrimination and retaliation and ordered to pay Robinson $632,142.86 on both counts.
Robinson was found to be not liable in the breach of fiduciary duty and loyalty while she was an employee at Canal. She originally sued De Niro and Canal for $12 million for gender discrimination and retaliation; she was countersued for $6 million for allegedly transferring thousands of dollars of sky miles to her own account and charging the company her personal food and travel expenses.

Robert De Niro is currently on trial for gender discrimination and retaliation charges and his girlfriend Tiffany Chen is the latest person to take the stand.
For those who haven’t kept up with the case, Robert sued Canal Productions’ former VP of production and finance, Graham Chase Robinson, in August 2019, claiming that she stole millions of frequent-flyer miles and binge-watched Netflix while on the clock.
In July 2021, Graham counter-sued for $12 million, alleging verbal harassment and gender discrimination against Robert.
Graham worked for Robert from 2008 to 2019 and began her journey with him as his assistant.
Some of Tiffany‘s text messages to Robert were read aloud, including one where she wrote, “You know, and agree that she’s been deliberately unkind, inappropriate and a straight-up b**ch.”
Tiffany told the court that she felt bad for Graham and said, “You see that she’s hurt inside,” according to Et.

The longtime personal assistant suing Robert De Niro took the stand Friday to testify in her civil discrimination lawsuit, saying the “Taxi Driver” actor gave a clear example of his chronic mistreatment when he angrily yelled at her during his own testimony earlier this week.
Graham Chase Robinson appeared before a Manhattan federal jury that is weighing claims from each side against the other. She says De Niro do demeaning “domestic” tasks below her station and is seeking $12 million for gender discrimination; he initially sued her, seeking $6 million for allegedly stealing airline miles and slacking off on the job.

Graham Chase Robinson, ex-employee to Robert De Niro and former VP of production and finance at his Canal Productions, took the stand in a New York court Friday in the ongoing trial regarding gender discrimination and retaliation charges against the actor.
Robinson was hired as De Niro’s executive assistant in 2008 and later became the VP of his loan-out company. In her lawsuit, she alleged that De Niro treated her like an “office wife” and gave her gendered tasks to do, like mending his clothes, vacuuming his apartment and scratching his back. She also claimed that he called her a “bitch” and a “brat” and that a male employee, whose job was of equal standing to hers, was paid more than her. De Niro has denied these claims, saying through his lawyers that when Robinson was promoted to VP in 2017, her duties of coordinating his personal and professional life stayed the same.

How common was it for Robert De Niro to yell at this one-time assistant? “He yelled at me two days ago,” Graham Chase Robinson told a courtroom on Thursday, according to The Associated Press, referring to De Niro’s outburst on the stand earlier this week. When her attorney asked the actor about whether he made her scratch his back, he insisted he was “never weird or creepy” and then turned to his accuser. “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!” he chided.
Robinson worked as De Niro’s chief personal assistant for more than a decade.

Robert De Niro continued his testimony in court Tuesday on the charges of gender discrimination and retaliation filed against him by a former employee, exclaiming multiple times that the case was “nonsense.”
“The whole case is nonsense. It’s absurd. But I’m here!” De Niro said while being questioned by the plaintiff’s counsel.
De Niro frequently pushed back against questions and on lines of questioning that included whether he had called his former employee, Graham Chase Robinson, while using the bathroom (“Give me a break with this nonsense. You got us all here for this?”) and whether he had directed his lawyers to first file suit against Robinson, knowing that it would get press attention and potentially damage her reputation.
“Stop it, I didn’t want to ruin anything. I don’t have the time for this,” he said.

In July 2021, Graham counter-sued for $12 million, alleging verbal harassment and gender discrimination against Robert.
The countersuit claims that Robert underpaid Graham based on her gender and made “vulgar, inappropriate and gendered comments” to her, according to THR.
Furthermore, Graham alleges that the Taxi Driver actor asked her to perform gendered tasks such as mending clothing and doing laundry.
“[Robert] does not accept the idea that men should treat women as equals.

Additionally she alleges that she was still asked to perform gendered tasks, such as mending clothing and doing laundry, while an executive, among other allegations.

Opening arguments in a workplace civil case pitting actor Robert De Niro against his former executive assistant, Graham Chase Robinson, will begin this afternoon in a federal courtroom in Manhattan, with De Niro himself expected to testify today under direct examination by one of Robinson’s lawyers.
An eight-person jury has been chosen Monday to hear the case, which Judge Lewis J. Liman said will take two weeks. Jurors will have to decide claims contained in dueling lawsuits filed in 2019: whether the Killers of the Flower Moon star subjected Robinson to gender harassment and underpaid her in violation of New York laws, and whether Robinson, who quit the job 2019, misused funds while at De Niro’s company, Canal, and took valuables when she left.

In August 2019, Robert De Niro sued his former assistant, Graham Chase Robinson, for binge-watching Friends on the job and stealing millions of frequent-flyer miles in what was suspected to be a prelude to a larger, bitter legal battle — a preemptive strike in anticipation of unsavory accusations to come. That came true two months later when Robinson filed her own lawsuit, near the precipice of the #MeToo movement, accusing De Niro of gender discrimination and retaliation, along with trying to convince the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office to prosecute her for stealing from the actor’s loan-out company.
The dueling claims, which were largely expected to settle, are now set to go to trial on Monday in New York federal court, with De Niro expected to take the stand after opening statements.

Gayle King is sharing her perspective on her recent interview with Robert De Niro‘s girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, who opened up to the broadcast journalist about the scary postpartum complication she endured after giving birth to the 79-year-old Oscar-winning actor’s seventh child.
On Thursday, “CBS Mornings” shared a preview clip of King’s interview with Chen, where the 45-year-old reveals that she developed Bell’s palsy, a medical condition that causes facial paralysis, after welcoming her and De Niro’s daughter, Gia Virginia Chen-De Niro, in April.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Bell’s palsy is “a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. In most cases, the weakness is temporary and significantly improves over weeks. The weakness makes half of the face appear to droop. Smiles are one-sided, and the eye on the affected side resists closing.” The exact cause is unknown.
