Multiple sources confirmed this claim as being false. CNN states that the circulating news clip was taken out of context as De Niro is actually filming a TV show in New York. He was not yelling at protestors.

This is not true. Robert De Niro was shooting a scene for a television show when the video was taken out of context. “The video was a small snippet from a rehearsal scene from the Netflix series ‘Zero Day‘ which was being filmed on the streets of New York, April 27, where the character played by De Niro is confronting a group (all paid extras).” This is a direct quote from on of De Niro's representatives found in an article published by Variety. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/robert-de-niro-not-shouting-protestors-filming-netflix-show-1235989200/

This claim is false. It is said that Robert De Niro was on the set of filming a Netflix series and not yelling at Pro-Palestine demonstrators.

This statement is incorrect. According to Reuters Fact Checker, De Niro was shouting at other actors not at Pro-Palestinian Protestors.

Reuters confirms that this claim is false. De Niro was rehearsing, not clashing with protesters. No where in the video does he reference Israel or Palestine.

This is not an accurate TikTok. Variety has come out with an article saying that the clip shown was him rehearsing his lines for an upcoming show coming out on Netflix
