Robert De Niro’s former assistant has sued the actor for $12m (£9.7m), accusing him of “years of gender discrimination and harassment”.
Graham Chase Robinson claimed the Raging Bull star was verbally abusive and subjected her to unwanted physical contact and sexually-charged comments.
Robinson has other complaints in her lawsuit, alleging De Niro would urinate during phone calls with her and ordered her to scratch his back and prod him awake when he was sleeping.
De Niro’s lawyer told US media: “The allegations made by Graham Chase Robinson against Robert De Niro are beyond absurd.”
The case comes weeks after De Niro sued Robinson, accusing her of misusing funds and bingeing on Netflix at work and using the company credit card to get fancy lunches.
