Hollywood icon Robert De Niros company has filed a $6 million lawsuit against a former employee, who spent "astronomical amounts of time" watching Netflix during work hours. Canal Productions, De Niro's loan-out company, also accuses Chase Robinson of racking up exorbitant hotel and restaurant charges and using millions of De Niro's frequent flyer miles for her personal trips. The company alleges that during a four-day period in January, she watched 55 episodes of Friends. On one of those days, she ordered lunch from Caviar San Francisco and had dinner at Paola's Restaurant, charging both meals on the company card. "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.
