SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 28 – 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 was filed.
On April
26, 2021 - a full year later
-- 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 June 28.
Inner City
Press called to cover the June
28 conference, and found the
defendants hammering away at
plaintiff Robinson's alleged
misrepresentations. Yet
another conference has been
set, for August 19, apparently
in person.
The case is
Robinson v. De Niro et al.,
19-cv-9156 (Liman / Parker)
