Robert De Niro's former assistant, Graham Chase Robinson, has accused the actor of abusive behavior during her employment, including repeatedly asking her to scratch his back. Robinson described the behavior as "creepy" and "disgusting." She is currently in court with De Niro over a $12 million lawsuit, alleging gender discrimination, overworking, underpaying, and verbal abuse. De Niro is also suing Robinson for charging personal expenses to his company. Robinson claimed that the trauma she endured left her jobless and depressed, suffering from anxiety and depression. De Niro's representatives have not issued any statements regarding the allegations.
