I mean, I actually like her and certainly have nothing against her as an actress or a human being, but I couldn't help wondering what the need was for her to even be there.
Omnia dicta fortiora si dicta Latina.
My guess is that she represents shallow desperate starlets *beep* their way up the Hollywood ladder while helping boost the ego of Tinseltown men suffering a midlife crisis along the way

Spoilers forthcoming.
My guess (a near year after your original post) since I just watched the film is that she is there to give DeNiro's character a look into the mirror when it comes to his profession and lifestyle. The man DeNiro was in competition with was sleeping with his high school aged daughter. Later on, you see some others who throw their arm around a girl and wink to DeNiro, noting how the ladies are 16.
The revelation comes after a scene where DeNiro wakes up after spending a night with a younger woman. Basically, it's showing that some people in Hollywood use their influence to get young, pretty girls and not even their own families can be excluded. A cold bucket of water into DeNiro's character's face.

It's called playing a character written by a screenwriter
shareIt was only to show that Ben is capable of having an actual relationship with at least one of his children. A little self serving, I guess.
