Vin Diesel, the famous US actor, is facing a lawsuit from his former personal assistant, Asta Jonasson, who alleges that he sexually assaulted her during the filming of Fast Five in 2010. The lawsuit claims that Vin Diesel pinned Jonasson to a wall and performed a sexual act on himself, ignoring her protests. Jonasson also asserts that she was wrongfully terminated by Vin Diesel's company, One Race Films, just hours after the incident. The lawsuit further mentions that another executive from the same company propositioned Jonasson in the same hotel a few days prior to the encounter with Vin Diesel. Jonasson's lawsuit includes allegations of sexual battery, gender discrimination, retaliation, emotional distress, and wrongful termination. Vin Diesel's representatives were contacted for comment but did not respond. Claire-Lise Kutlay, the lawyer representing Jonasson, stated that her client seeks accountability for Vin Diesel's actions and hopes her brave decision to come forward will empower other survivors. Vin Diesel, known for his roles in the Fast & Furious franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy, XXX, and Riddick, is also a producer for the Fast & Furious series and is one of Hollywood's highest-grossing actors.
