The writer behind Robert De Niro classics Raging Bull and Taxi Driver is being sued by his former assistant for sexual harassment and assault.
-
Paul Schrader has been accused by his assistant, 46, of grabbing and kissing her while they were at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
A lawsuit filed in New York last week says after she escaped his clutches, the woman — given the pseudonym Jane Doe in the suit — was summoned to his hotel room three days later where Schrader exposed himself.
“Since Defendant Schrader’s brutal attacks on Ms. Doe, exposure of his genitals to her, and his countless other acts of sexual harassment, she has suffered, inter alia, nightmares, extreme anxiety, and distress and has withdrawn almost completely from her former life,” the suit says.
The legal filing claims Schrader, 78, fired his assistant in September.
