Bob De Niro Is Sued For Discrimination in SDNY Now Canal Wants NYS Case Brought In

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 26 – 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, 2020 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.

 On April 26, 2021 - a full year later -- defendant Canal Productions is move to consolidate the state case into this Federal one. Judge Parker said that the motion to amend the answer and add counter-claims is due May 10 and replies due June 21, with another conference set for July 28.

The case is Robinson v. De Niro et al., 19-cv-9156 (Liman / Parker)
