Notorious anti-Trump actor Robert De Niro has been slapped with a lawsuit in federal court by a former employee accusing him of “gratuitous unwanted physical contact” and making “sexually charged comments.”

“The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, escalates a legal battle between De Niro and the former employee, Graham Chase Robinson,” reports NBC News. “De Niro’s company, Canal Productions, filed a lawsuit against Robinson in August, accusing her of ‘breaching her fiduciary duties,’ including running up expenses on a company card, and binge-watching shows on Netflix during work hours.”
