De Niro Never Paid for Women, Lawyer Says
And on Wednesday, De Niro's high-profile French attorney, former justice minister Georges Kiejman, fired back, announcing to a packed news conference that his client will file suit against Judge Frederic N'Guyen for "violation of secrecy in an investigation" and "obstruction of freedom of movement."
De Niro "never paid for a woman in his life," Kiejman told a packed news conference, according to Associated Press.
So what if the 55-year-old actor happened to have a conversation with a couple of "ravishing" women, who just so happened to be courtesans, Kiejman said, the judge still didn't have a good enough reason to interrogate his client--at least, other than to generate publicity for his investigation into the prostitution ring. "The name Robert De Niro is like a jewel for a judge," he added.
The Oscar-winning actor was never officially under arrest in the case, but he was reportedly forced to endure an all-day, compulsory interrogation. "He kept repeating the same answers to the same questions," Kiejman said.
"It's possible," he conceded, that the French police do, in fact, have in their custody a prostitute's address book with De Niro's name in it. But the actor's association with any of the young women involved in the investigation is limited, he contended.
"One young woman, only one young woman, said Robert De Niro had looked at her, and she thought he liked her," Kiejman told a radio interviewer.
De Niro is in France (where prostitution is legal; procuring it is not) filming John Frankenheimer's Ronin with Jean Reno.
He married former flight attendant Grace Hightower last year.
