Actor Robert De Niro took the stand Monday as his civil dispute with a former assistant heads to trial.Actor Robert De Niro took the witness stand Monday in the New York civil case brought by his former assistant Graham Case Robinson, and at times, the two-time Academy Award winner took issue with some of the questions from Robinson's attorney Andrew Macurdy.Robinson claims De Niro used sexual language and assigned odd jobs to her around his home that felt sexist.
"When there is an objection, you pause," Liman told De Niro after several similar moments had already occurred, adding that since De Niro had already answered the question before the judge ruled, the answers would remain in the record. De Niro took particular exception to questions soon after he took the stand, when Macurdy asked him if Robinson’s role as his lead assistant was to do "anything and everything," since that was how De Niro described it in an earlier deposition.
During opening statements, Robinson's attorney Brent Hannafan told jurors that De Niro once asked Robinson to scratch his back. When she asked why he didn’t use a back scratcher, De Niro replied, "I like the way you do it."
