“I don’t yell.

You wanna dispute that?

That’s one thing I don’t do.”

De Niro made it clear during his testimony that he saw no legitimacy in Robinson’s claims.

“Every little thing she’s trying to get me on is nonsense!

De Niro later apologized for his outburst.

Representatives for De Niro declined EW’s request for comment.
