Robert de Niro's former assistant is suing him for $12 million for gender discrimination and harassment. She also accused Robert of calling her names such as "bitch" and "brat" and alleged he underpaid her compared with a male employee doing similar work. Her lawsuit stated: "Robert De Niro is someone who has clung to old mores. "He does not care that gender discrimination in the workplace violates the law." In his own lawsuit, which was filed in August, the 'Taxi Driver' star accused his ex-aide of running up expenses and binge-watching Netflix during working hours.
