SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 10 – Robert De Niro and
Canal Productions were sued in
2019 for gender discrimination
by Graham Chase Robinson, who
had begun working as De Niro's
executive assistant in 2008,
at 25 years old.
She said
she was discriminated against
- then De Niro sued her, and
she sued him.
On March 10, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Katharine H.
Parker held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it. Inner City
Press had previously checked
in on the case, on January 30,
2020, here.
"in SDNY, Robert
De Niro is being sued by
former employee Graham Chase
Robinson for gender
discrimination, not paying
overtime - and retaliating. De
Niro's lawyers complaint to
SDNY Magistrate Judge Parker
that the plaintiff won't say
to whose salary she's
comparing what she was paid."
Since then
the case was reassigned to
District Judge Lewis J. Liman;
a protective order has been
filed. Now, the parties are
nearing production of
discovery, while the related
state court matter has been
stayed.
The next
proceeding in Federal court is
set for April 12.
The case is
Robinson v. De Niro et al.,
19-cv-9156 (Liman / Parker)
