GenderGeneral NewsJuriesLawsuitsRobert De NiroU.S. News Jury awards $1.2 million to Robert De Niro’s former assistant in gender discrimination lawsuit by Lucas Garcia November 10, 2023 written by Lucas Garcia November 10, 2023 0 comments Bookmark 30 In a significant court ruling, Robert De Niro’s former assistant was awarded over $1.2 million by a jury, which found De Niro’s Canal Productions guilty of creating a hostile work environment. Despite the jury clearing De Niro of personal responsibility, they affirmed that his company was culpable for gender discrimination and retaliatory actions against Graham Chase Robinson, ordering two compensatory payments totaling approximately $632,142. De Niro, who was present for three days during the two-week trial, was not in court when the decision was announced. Robinson, 41, appeared relieved and emotionally moved as the verdict was read, later leaving the courthouse without comment. Both legal teams declared victory in their own terms. Robinson’s lawyer, Brent Hannafan, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, while De Niro’s attorney, Richard Schoenstein, highlighted De Niro’s exoneration and minimized the financial impact on the company. Robinson described her former position, once cherished, as becoming intolerable due to the behavior of De Niro and his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen. Contrarily, De Niro and Chen accused Robinson of causing issues due to her career ambitions. The court saw evidence including emails and testimonies about the strained dynamics at Canal Productions. De Niro, who had raised Robinson’s salary and title, accused her of misappropriating airline miles and violating his trust. He admitted to some behaviors alleged in Robinson’s $12 million lawsuit but denied any abuse or disrespect. Robinson recounted her post-resignation struggles, including mental health issues and unsuccessful job searches, claiming profound personal and professional losses. Meanwhile, De Niro, a two-time Oscar winner and star of the current film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” had previously sued Robinson for breach of duty, a claim the jury ultimately dismissed.
