Robert sued Canal’s former VP of production and finance Graham Chase Robinson in August 2019, claiming that she stole millions of frequent-flyer miles and binge-watched Netflix while on the clock.
In July 2021, Graham counter-sued for $12 million, alleging verbal harassment and gender discrimination against Robert.
The countersuit claims that Robert underpaid Graham based on her gender and made “vulgar, inappropriate and gendered comments” to her, according to THR.
Furthermore, Graham alleges that the Taxi Driver actor asked her to perform gendered tasks such as mending clothing and doing laundry.
“[Robert] does not accept the idea that men should treat women as equals. He does not care that gender discrimination in the workplace violates the law. Ms. Robinson is a casualty of this attitude,” the complaint states.
When Robert took the stand on Monday, he pushed back on Graham‘s claims and said that her responsibilities had not changed when her title switched from assistant to VP of finance and production, per the outlet.
“The job is what it is,” Robert said. “The titles were not important.”
He also alleged that Graham was disrespectful to him, citing a disagreement the two had over moving paintings in Robert‘s townhouse.
“I wanted everybody to be happy and play nice,” he said. “Unfortunately that didn’t happen.”

Angus Finney Industry players treading the floors of Le Meridien Delfina, the American Film Market’s new venue, will be besieged by aggressive funding offers and fliers tubthumping diverse landscapes and state-of-the-art facilities from all around the world — marketing tools promoting incentives and driving the heated battle for productions across the globe. The incentive wars have been raging for decades, with several U.S. states and leading producing nations — such as Canada, the U.K., France, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Germany — battling over a $177 billion worldwide production pot being spent on film, scripted TV and docs in 2019 alone, according to consultants OlsbergSPI. Given the inherent link between total production spend and automatic funding systems as a crude percentage, that indicates that some $20 billion-$30 billion of tax credits, production rebates and other automatic mechanisms are underpinning worldwide production. But just as the industry at large is reeling from strike actions, the impact of streamers and talk of a “great spend re-correction,” all is not well in the land of automatic funding incentives.
