Former Actor Robert DeNiro Sued for Sexual Harassment and Sex Discrimination

Remember when this guy used to act in movies, instead of walking (in his very high heels) to his mark, doing a caricature of an impression of himself, and then walking off to grab his check?

Taller elevators than the Burj Khalifa
My God, they're ridiculous

No compensation going on here, I'm sure.

Robinson accuses the famous actor of gratuitous unwanted physical contact.

"Among other things, De Niro would direct Ms. Robinson to scratch his back, button his shirts, fix his collars, tie his ties and prod him awake when he was in bed," it reads. "De Niro also stood idly by while his friend slapped Ms. Robinson on her buttocks."

Robinson also claims De Niro made sexually charged comments, including calling her a "bitch" and a "brat" while labeling another female business partner a "c—."

"De Niro made vulgar, inappropriate and gendered comments to Ms. Robinson," continues the complaint. "He would joke with Ms. Robinson about his Viagra prescription. De Niro smirked to Ms. Robinson about his young paramour, who was around Ms. Robinson's age. De Niro directed Ms. Robinson to imagine him on the toilet. He told Ms. Robinson that doing manual labor would 'make a man out of you.' De Niro suggested that Ms. Robinson could get pregnant using sperm from her (married) male co-worker."

Robinson adds that she was treated as De Niro's "office wife," as she was assigned stereotypical female duties like housework and was underpaid.

Via John Sexton at Hot Air, this recording of abusive DeNiro voicemails:

He's a real whiny little manlet fuck, isn't he? He sounds like an old woman whining that her soup is cold, but with lots of profanity to show how much of a MAN xhe is.
