The former employee reportedly watched 55 episodes of Friends on the job—and 20 episodes of Arrested Development and 10 episodes of Schitt’s Creek...

on Saturday in state court in New York. Robinson, who first began working for De Niro as an assistant in 2008, was the former vice president of production and finance at Canal and made a $300,000 salary this year. She resigned in April, apparently amid concerns about “corporate sabotage,” the suit reads.

Robinson has been accused of making extravagant hotel and restaurant charges, as well as using millions of De Niro‘s frequent-flier miles. The suit outlines specific charges, claiming that she made $12,696.65 in unauthorized charges at Paola’s restaurant, a ritzy New York eatery, “over a two-year period, in addition to $8,923.

Then, there are the binge-watching claims. The suit claims that Robinson rarely came into the office. When she did, the suit alleges, she spent hours binge-watching TV shows, including 55 episodes ofover a four-day period in March. “Watching shows on Netflix was not in any way part of or related to the duties and responsibilities of Robinson’s employment and, on information and belief, was done for her personal entertainment, amusement and pleasure at times when she was being paid to work,” the suit alleges.

Robinson penned a resignation email in April, the suit notes, in which she characterized worries about her spending “ridiculous.” She also allegedly wrote a recommendation letter for herself, which De Niro did not sign.

Boring, don’t care, he can’t manage his own affairs but has plenty of advice to give out loudly nd unsolicited. Tough luck.

Odd behaviors but over time unsupervised. Did anyone MANAGE her and check her performance? Did she know what she was supposed to do? Doesn’t seem like a strong case.

Only 10 episodes of Schitts Creek?
