Vin Diesel Denies Sexual Assault Allegations from Former Assistant
Action star Vin Diesel (56) is under fire once again, this time for allegations of sexual assault. According to reports, his former assistant, Asta Jonasson, has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that Diesel harassed and assaulted her during the filming of "Fast & Furious Five" in Atlanta in 2010.
The lawsuit alleges that Diesel forcibly grabbed Jonasson, groped her, and kissed her without her consent, despite her repeatedly saying "no" and trying to free herself from his grip. The complaint also states that Diesel later groped her legs, tried to pull down her underwear, and even put her hand on his erect penis.
Diesel's lawyer has since come forward to deny the allegations, stating that his client has never heard of these claims before and that there is "clear evidence" to disprove them. The attorney also pointed out that this is the first time these allegations have surfaced, despite Jonasson's claim that she worked for Diesel for nine days.
If these allegations are true, this is not the first time Diesel has been accused of inappropriate behavior. In 2015, he was accused of verbally abusing a crew member on the set of "xXx: Return of Xander Cage." Diesel later apologized for his behavior, claiming he was under a lot of stress at the time.
Despite these allegations, Diesel continues to work in the industry and has even announced that the 11th installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise will be his final film in the series. Whether or not these allegations will affect his career remains to be seen.
