A former assistant to Vin Diesel has accused the actor of sexually molesting her in Atlanta during the filming of Fast Five in 2010 and then firing her in retaliation soon afterward.
The suit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that Diesel attacked Asta Jonasson in the St. Regis Hotel after a night of seemingly hard partying with hostesses he’d met at a nearby club.
“Vin Diesel forcibly grabbed Ms. Jonasson, groped her breasts, and kissed her,” says the 10-claim sexual battery, discrimination and retaliation complaint (read the lawsuit against Diesel here). “Ms. Jonasson struggled continually to break free of his grasp, while repeatedly saying no. Vin Diesel is physically larger and much stronger than Ms. Jonasson, and abused his position of authority as her employer, and was able to easily overpower Ms. Jonasson.”
