Hollywood Star Vin Diesel Accused of Sexually Assaulting Assistant

Hollywood action star Vin Diesel has been accused of sexually assaulting his assistant in an Atlanta hotel room. Although the incident happened a decade back, a lawsuit regarding it was filed on Thursday.

The complainant Asta Jonasson alleged that after being hired by the “Fast and Furious” star’s company, she travelled to Atlanta in September 2010 during the shooting of “Fast Five.”

Her duty was to help Diesel leave a hotel in the early morning hours after entertaining multiple women in a suite, out if the camera views of the paparazzi.

Jonasson alleged that when she was in the hotel suite, Vin Diesel sexually forcibly grabbed her, groped her breasts, and kissed her. When she opposed, “Vin Diesel then escalated his assault and tried to pull down her underwear, the suit said.

According to the suit, Diesel followed Jonasson to the bathroom, forced her to touch him, pinned her against a wall and masturbated.

The following day, she was fired. “The message was clear. Ms Jonasson was fired for courageously resisting Vin Diesel’s sexual assault, Vin Diesel would be protected, and his sexual assault covered up,” the suit said.

The civil suit seeks unspecified damages against Diesel.
