Robert De Niro’s company has filed a $6 million lawsuit against a former employee, accusing her of embezzling money and binge-watching Netflix while on the job.
Canal Productions, De Niro’s loan-out company, also accuses Chase Robinson of racking up exorbitant hotel and restaurant charges and using millions of De Niro’s frequent flyer miles for her personal trips.
According to the suit, filed on Saturday in state court in New York, Robinson was hired as an assistant to De Niro in 2008. She was later promoted to “vice president of production and finance” at the loan-out company, and her 2019 salary was $300,000. She left the company in April, amid growing concerns about alleged “corporate sabotage,” the suit states.
The company says she rarely came into the office, and alleges she spent “astronomical amounts of time” watching Netflix during work hours. The company alleges that during a four-day period in January, she watched 55 episodes of “Friends.” On one of those days, she ordered lunch from Caviar San Francisco and had dinner at Paola’s Restaurant, charging both meals on the company card.
Over another four-day period in March, she allegedly watched 20 episodes of “Arrested Development” and 10 episodes of “Schitt’s Creek.”
“Watching shows on Netflix was not in any way part of or related to the duties and responsibilities of Robinson’s employment and, on information and belief, was done for her personal entertainment, amusement and pleasure at times when she was being paid to work,” the suit alleges.
The suit alleges that Robinson made $12,696.65 in unauthorized charges at Paola’s over a two-year period, in addition to $8,923.20 at Dean and Deluca and Whole Foods, and $32,000 for Ubers and taxis.
In her resignation email in April, Robinson allegedly brushed off concerns about her spending and other issues as “ridiculous.” She later drafted a recommendation letter for herself, which De Niro refused to sign, the suit states.
What is a loan out company?
Send Fredo to take care of some Mickey House Nightclub somewhere.
Now...without a paddle!
Awwww, poor doddering fool got taken advantage of by a sweet young thing. Soooooooo sad.
The Trump curse strikes again!
...
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
I doubt he has much of a case either.
This sounds like the work itinerary of a Kept Woman.
They had to know what she was doing, after almost what?
11 years of employment? So nobody checked the quarterly budgets before now. Something must have changed. Something has made her not quite as ‘amazing’ as she once seemed to be to the Boss.
"Of course I'll sign the invoice. But I'm going to need to see that hat."
Maybe De Niro can have her work it off in his restaurant, washing dishes?
Boo Hoo Girl time.
Or washing is d%*k.
Bobby De Doofus has lost control.
Ping.
He just got divorced too. My guess is he started a company to supply concubines to himself. And gets a big assed writeoff.
Maybe Bob is a little light on hisDNC contributions and needs cover so he still gets invited to the right events.
Thanks!!!
Nice shoes Bobby, ya shrimp.
