Vin Diesel accused of sexual battery by former assistan

Vin Diesel, known for his role in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, has been accused of sexual battery and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit filed by a former assistant. The civil suit, stemming from a 2010 incident, alleges that Diesel forced himself on his former assistant, Asta Jonasson, in a hotel suite in Atlanta, and masturbated in front of her. Jonasson claims Diesel ignored her non-consent and pinned her against the wall.

Diesel’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, categorically denies the claim, stating it’s the first time Diesel has heard about this more than 13-year-old allegation made by a purported 9-day employee.
