unfolding this week in a Manhattan courtroom as the A-list actor faces off in an absurd civil trial against his former longtime personal assistant, Chase Robinson over back scratches and air miles – with the backdrop of a simmering cat fight between the women in De Niro’s life.As a bonus, it includes a few plugs for bingeable classic shows. Even De Niro’s attorney acknowledged in court that, “This trial is going to be a little bit like a movie.’’And it’s already given the focus group, otherwise known as the jury, some decent chuckles, according to those who saw their reaction.

Robert De Niro reportedly raised his voice towards his former personal assistant in court earlier this week, and admitted that he may have called her a berating name.De Niro’s former executive assistant Graham Chase Robinson has brought claims against the 80-year-old-actor, seeking $12 million in damages for emotional distress and reputational harm.Robinson, 41, has claimed that she was made to carry out demeaning and disruptive tasks for the actor ranging from buttoning his shirts to being called on in the middle of the night.

center stage again in Manhattan federal court Tuesday as he begrudgingly copped to asking his former personal assistant to scratch his back — before exploding, “You got me!”The blustery, 80-year-old Oscar winner got defensive on the stand for the second day running as he attempted to rebuff accusations from longtime ex-staffer Graham Chase Robinson, 41, that he was a terrible boss who subjected her to years of unwanted touching, abusive language and demeaning misogynistic tasks.

You got me! I’m saying this is nonsense,” fumed De Niro, who was dressed in a dark gray polo shirt and navy blazer.

Leonardo DiCaprio has some very memorable scenes in his new movie with co-star Robert De Niro.

Leonardo DiCaprio wore “butt-padding” in a scene where he is spanked by Robert De Niro in Killers Of The Flower Moon, according to the film’s cinematographer.Rodrigo Prieto opened up to Insider in a new interview about the scene, which occurs half-way into Martin Scorsese’s new epic.DiCaprio’s character, Ernest Burkhart, has messed up a plan to steal the Osage of its wealth.

And we’d tell [DiCaprio]: ‘You don’t need that dialogue.’”This comes after Scorsese recently revealed that DiCaprio asked for a major overhaul of the film’s script two years into the writing process.While the film ended up being told from the perspective of the Osage tribe, that wasn’t the original plan.
