Robert De Niro Sued by Ex-Aide De Niro's former assistant, Chase <br />Robinson, is suing him for $12 million for <br />gender discrimination and harassment. The 76-year-old actor had previously <br />taken legal action against Robinson for <br />allegedly embezzling company funds. In her lawsuit, Chase <br />claimed De Niro had treated <br />her like an "office wife." She claims she was required to scratch his back, button his shirts, vacuum and do laundry, and subjected her to "unwanted physical contact." She also accused De Niro <br />of calling her names and alleged he underpaid her <br />compared to a male employee <br />doing similar work. De Niro's lawyer has called the <br />allegations against the actor "absurd."
