Francis Ford Coppola believes The Godfather Part II began a cinematic trend that he is deeply annoyed through.

DeNiro’s Ex-Employee Is Suing Him For Being Sexist

The actor, 80, took the stand in New York City on Monday where he used to be puzzled about the specifics of the case. He agreed that Graham "did anything and everything within the confines of her job” but denied that this related to his “personal life.”

Graham was originally hired as an assistant through DeNiro’s Canal Productions company in 2008 and worked for the actor for 11 years before things blew up in 2019, leading her to sue the star.

At the time, Robinson left the company after being promoted to Vice President of Production and Finance. After her exit from the position, Canal Productions initiated a $6 million lawsuit against her, asserting that she watched Netflix excessively during work hours. They further claimed she misused her position by diverting her employer's funds for personal benefit.

What Happened To Francis Ford Coppola After Directing The Godfather?

The Godfather, which came out in 1972, earned Coppola the respect and esteem of millions, but what happened after the movie?

In response, the ex-assistant filed a counterclaim against De Niro as well as Canal Productions, alleging violations of the New York City Human Rights Law.

In her filing, Graham claimed that De Niro engaged in sexist remarks and behavior towards her ad assigned her gender-stereotyped job responsibilities inconsistent with her job title. She furthermore claims to have been paid less than a male colleague simply because she’s a woman.

Interestingly, DeNiro’s girlfriend Tiffany Chen, who gave birth to their son earlier this year, is also implicated in the case. Robinson claims that the actor’s partner once accused her of having feelings for him. After Robinson complained, she says Chen retaliated by removing her job responsibilities, which led her to ultimately resign in April 2019.

On the stand, Robert says he was surprised when his girlfriend suggested Robinson may harbor romantic feelings for him. But he says it now makes sense in retrospect.

“I was shocked by that but now looking back she might’ve been onto something,” DeNiro reflected.

Robert DeNiro Became A Dad Again At Age 79

DeNiro and Robinson’s legal battle is expected to continue in the following weeks as both sides hash it out in court. DeNiro became a father again earlier this year when Chen, 45, (whom he started dating in 2021) gave birth to their daughter Gia in April. He was 79-years old at the time of his daughter’s birth.

“I [asked him], ‘Did you want a baby?’ He goes, ‘Yes. This baby is planned,’” Gayle King said during an episode CBS Mornings after speaking to DeNiro, who confirmed he was a father once more. “They both wanted this baby, they’re over the moon. She was brought here by love, so he is very psyched and very excited about it.”

The lawsuit between Canal Productions, DeNiro, and Robinson remains ongoing.
