Vin Diesel has been sued by a former assistant with the new lawsuit alleging sexual battery.Per Vanity Fair, Diesel’s accuser, Asta Jonasson, claimed in her lawsuit against the actor that she was working for him as a personal assistant in 2010 during the filming of Fast Five. It’s alleged that Diesel invited Jonasson into his hotel room in Atlanta’s St. Regis Hotel and tried to coax her into the bed, but she refused, attempting to head toward the exit. She claimed that Diesel then followed her and groped her before pressing her against a wall. He is alleged to have then forced Jonasson to touch his genitals, ignoring her pleas for him to stop, with the suit adding, “Terrified, Ms. Jonasson closed her eyes, trying to dissociate from the sexual assault and avoid angering him.”Going beyond the claims of sexual battery, the suit claims Jonasson also suffered from intentional infliction of emotional distress, discrimination, a hostile work environment, and wrongful termination, alleging an attempted over-up by the company. The lawsuit also alleges that one of Diesel’s One Race supervisors had similarly tried to coax her into a bed in a St. Regis hotel room at one point, at which point she made an immediate exit. She said that she still “continues to suffer humiliation, emotional distress, and mental and physical pain and anguish” as a result of the incident.
