CNN —A Manhattan jury on Thursday found actor Robert De Niro’s production company, Canal Productions, liable for gender discrimination and retaliation in a civil trial related to a workplace dispute brought by De Niro’s former assistant, Graham Chase Robinson. The jury also considered claims by Canal Productions that were first filed in state court against Robinson for alleged misuse of company funds. “We are delighted that the jury saw what we saw and returned a verdict in Chase Robinson’s favor against Robert De Niro’s company, Canal Productions. According to the New York Times, Richard C. Schoenstein, a lawyer for De Niro and Canal Productions, said on Thursday outside court, “Mr. Robinson sought at least $12 million in damages for alleged emotional distress and reputational harm from De Niro and Canal Productions.

Robinson, 41, worked for one of De Niro’s companies, Canal Productions, beginning in 2008 as a personal assistant for less than $100,000 in salary. By 2019, De Niro had agreed to pay her $300,000 annually and elevated her title, making her vice president of production and finance. De Niro sat relaxed in a chair between two of his lawyers during closing arguments. He said 5 million airline miles pocketed by Robinson were worth about $85,000 and that his client just wants “stuff back.”“Use your common sense,” Schoenstein told jurors.
