Robert De Niro<\/strong>\u2019s ongoing civil trial<\/a> has been filled with a series of colorful one-liners. \u201cYou got me!\u201d he exploded, after admitting<\/a> that he had twice asked his former employee Graham Chase Robinson<\/strong> to scratch his back when he had an itch he couldn\u2019t reach. In his testimony this week, he described Robinson\u2019s accusations of harassment and gender discrimination as \u201call nonsense,\u201d but acknowledged that he may have asked her to have a late-night martini delivered to him from Nobu.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, De Niro\u2019s girlfriend Tiffany Chen<\/strong> joined the fray. While on the stand, according<\/a> to the Independent<\/em>, she discussed a text she sent to a then employee of Canal Productions, De Niro\u2019s company where Robinson worked as vice president of finance and production after rising from her role as his assistant beginning in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole situation has become very Single White Female<\/em>,\u201d Chen wrote. She was discussing how Robinson had gone into the couple\u2019s home and allegedly unplugged all of her electronics.<\/p>\n

In the courtroom, Chen elaborated on what she meant by this reference to the 1992 erotic thriller: a woman who is \u201cobsessive, crazy, and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson, Chen testified, dreamt of dating De Niro herself. \u201cI believed she lived her whole life as a fantasy,\u201d Chen said.<\/p>\n

The trial, which began on Monday and is expected to last two weeks, addresses two lawsuits that Robinson and De Niro filed against each other. In 2019, De Niro accused Robinson of using company resources for personal purposes, including the use of over $125,000 in frequent flyer miles and a Netflix account that the suit alleged she repeatedly accessed during work hours. In short order, Robinson responded with a suit of her own, claiming that De Niro subjected her to repeated sexist remarks and \u201cgratuitous physical contact.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Chen\u2019s view, the dispute was romantic in origin. She testified that Robinson had an \u201cimaginary intimacy\u201d with De Niro and that Chen urged him to get rid of her. Robinson, she said amid a stream of angry remarks, was \u201cobsessive, psychotic and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other texts displayed in court, Chen described Robinson to De Niro as a \u201cstraight up Nasty B****\u201d and wrote \u201cher possessive manner over the house makes me very uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if she had written these messages, Chen was just as direct. \u201cYeah,\u201d she testified. \u201cI wrote it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
