Vin Diesel firmly denies sexual battery lawsuit from ex-assistant
Actor Vin Diesel Responds to Sexual Battery Lawsuit
Renowned actor Vin Diesel has vehemently denied the sexual battery allegations made against him by his former assistant in a lawsuit filed on Thursday.
Diesel’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, released a statement categorically denying the claim in its entirety. He expressed shock at the 13-year-old accusation made by a former employee who worked for just nine days, stating that there is compelling evidence that refutes these outrageous allegations.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, alleges that Diesel sexually assaulted his assistant, Asta Jonasson, during the filming of “Fast Five” in Atlanta in 2010.
According to the lawsuit, Jonasson was hired by Diesel’s production company, One Race, as an assistant. Her responsibilities included organizing events and ensuring that his longtime girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez, was included in photographs.
Jonasson claims that one night in September 2010, she was asked to wait for Diesel in his hotel suite while he entertained hostesses from a club. After the other women left, she alleges that Diesel forcibly grabbed her and threw her onto the bed.

Jonasson further alleges that Diesel proceeded to grope her and touch her inappropriately, causing her to scream and flee when he attempted to remove her underwear. The lawsuit states that Diesel then cornered her against a wall and masturbated, leaving her terrified and traumatized. She claims to have been fired a few hours later, after just two weeks on the job.
Greenberg Gross, the law firm representing Jonasson, released a statement expressing their commitment to holding Diesel accountable for his actions. They emphasized that no one, regardless of their fame or power, should be protected from the consequences of sexual harassment in the workplace.
Jonasson cited the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements as sources of inspiration, empowering her to seek justice and reclaim her agency in the face of the suffering she endured at the hands of Vin Diesel and One Race.
What evidence does Vin Diesel’s lawyer claim to have that refutes the allegations of sexual battery?
Ageous allegations.
According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the former assistant, who has chosen to remain anonymous, accuses Diesel of subjecting her to sexual battery during her brief employment with him in 2008. She alleges that the actor made unwanted sexual advances towards her, including groping and inappropriate touching.
In response to these claims, Diesel’s lawyer released a strongly worded statement, asserting that the allegations are completely false and without merit. He highlighted the fact that the assistant worked for Diesel for less than two weeks, calling into question her credibility and motive for coming forward after all these years.
The statement from Diesel’s lawyer also mentioned the existence of evidence that refutes the allegations. While specific details of this evidence were not disclosed, Freedman expressed confidence that it will prove his client’s innocence and expose the assistant’s ulterior motives.
Furthermore, Freedman emphasized Diesel’s stellar reputation and clean record, both personally and professionally. He stated that the actor has always treated those he works with respect and has never faced any similar accusations in the past. This reinforces the notion that these allegations are baseless and intended to damage Diesel’s reputation.
Despite the lawyer’s strong denial and the lack of evidence supporting the assistant’s claims, it is important to approach this case with caution and respect for all parties involved. Allegations of sexual misconduct should never be taken lightly, and it is crucial to ensure a fair and thorough investigation.
The #MeToo movement has shed light on the pervasive issue of sexual harassment and assault in various industries, including the entertainment world. It is imperative to create a safe environment for victims to come forward and seek justice, while also ensuring the right to a fair trial for those accused.
In the case of Vin Diesel, it is crucial to let the legal process play out and gather all the relevant evidence before passing judgment. While it is understandable that these allegations can tarnish one’s reputation, it is essential to remember the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’
Let us not forget that false accusations can also cause significant harm to the wrongfully accused and have severe consequences on their personal and professional lives.
In conclusion, Vin Diesel has categorically denied the sexual battery allegations made against him by his former assistant. His lawyer has expressed shock at the accusations, citing compelling evidence that refutes them. It is essential to approach this case with caution and ensure a fair investigation while respecting the rights of all parties involved.
