Yahoo Autos ‘Fast And Furious’ Star Vin Diesel Has Reportedly Been Accused Of Sexual Battery
A woman who served as an assistant to Vin Diesel is alleging that the actor and star of the Fast and Furious movie series sexually assaulted her in 2010. The allegations, as reported by Vanity Fair, come from a suit filed by Asta Jonasson in Los Angeles. In the suit, Jonasson claims that when she was fresh out of film school, she was hired by Diesel’s company One Race for a job with some unusual responsibilities.
“Asta Jonasson states that she was hired by Diesel’s company, One Race, to work for the actor on location in Atlanta, where Fast Five was in production. The suit describes Jonasson as a recent film-school-program graduate at the time, whose job responsibilities included organizing parties, accompanying Diesel to parties, and ensuring that she was in close physical proximity to him in case photographs were taken of him with women when he attended events without his longtime girlfriend.”

Jonasson says that she attempted to run but Diesel pinned her and forced her to touch his genitals, then masturbated. Hours after the assault, she claims that was terminated from her position by Diesel’s sister.
She also claims a supervisor for One Race called her to his room and took his shirt off and beckoned for her to join him in bed. She’s now suing over allegations of discrimination based on gender, emotional distress, and creating a hostile work environment among other things.
Vanity Fair says reps for Diesel didn’t respond to the publications requests for a comment on the allegations.
