The two-time Oscar-winning actor, known for his performances in blockbuster movies like The Deer Hunter and Raging Bull, was the first witness in a trial resulting from lawsuits over the employment of Graham Chase Robinson. De Niro, 80, testified through most of the afternoon, agreeing that he had listed Ms Robinson as his emergency contact at one point and had relied on her to help with greeting cards for his children.
Repeatedly, Judge Lewis J Liman explained the rules of testimony to De Niro and that there were limits to what he could say. “It is not like I’m asking for her to go out there and scrape floors and mop the floor,” he said. “So this is all nonsense.” In opening statements that preceded De Niro’s testimony, attorney Andrew Macurdy said Ms Robinson has been unable to get a job and has been afraid to leave her home since leaving the job with De Niro.
