And during one of their conversations, de Niro allegedly told Robinson that she could get pregnant anytime she wanted. And she can also ask for the sperm of one of her colleagues.
“That was an incident that happened when we were sitting in the drawing room and I was discussing my career and wanting to, you know, focus on that. But also have some personal time and he had said, ‘Chase, women can get pregnant whenever they want. You just need to get some sperm. You can just get some from — you know, you can get some free sperm from Michael Kaplan’ and I was horrified at that. It was just the most inappropriate and most disgusting thing that an employer could say or one of the most disgusting and — it was just incredibly inappropriate,” she said.

Other than the lawsuit, de Niro also made headlines recently amid reports that his ex-wife, Grace Hightower, wouldn’t be entitled to half the money that the actor made after they divorced.
“The husband’s income earned during the marriage and other business assets acquired during that time is his separate property,” the Appellate Division said in a statement (via Page Six).
