Plaintiff in Robert De Niro harassment lawsuit gets intimidating text from his family: lawyer

Robert De Niro's daughter reportedly sent his former assistant, who is accusing him of gender discrimination and harassment, an intimidating text amid the ongoing trial.

The text was read to the courtroom on Monday as day six began in the ongoing civil trial.

"You disgusting little beast," the text, obtained by Fox News Digital, read. "You have nothing better to do with your pathetic life than destroy an 80-year-old man's life for money. You piece of s--t. He lost a grandson only four months ago. Has to deal with a scumbag like you. Sickening. Hopefully you and your family will suffer, like you have made so many suffer."
