Asta Jonasson’s lawsuit against Vin Diesel provides a harrowing account of s*xual assault and battery. According to her claims, the assault occurred at The St Regis Atlanta hotel in 2010.
Hired by One Race Films as Vin Diesel’s assistant, she was assigned to guide him out of the hotel and avoid paparazzi.
Jonasson alleges that within his private suite, Vin Diesel forcibly grabbed and groped her breasts.
Despite her efforts to escape, the lawsuit asserts that Vin persisted, attempting to remove her underwear and compelling her to touch his privates.
The documents describe Jonasson’s state of terror during the incident, revealing that she resorted to closing her eyes and pretending to “dissociate” from reality to endure the ordeal.
The accusations continue, stating that Vin Diesel allegedly engaged in masturbation during the incident.
The lawsuit claims that Vin’s sister and the president of One Race Films personally called and terminated Jonasson’s employment the next day, citing no further need for her services as Vin’s assistant.
Filed in Los Angeles on December 21, 2023, under the state’s Se*ual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act, the lawsuit allows victims to sue despite certain statutes of limitations.
The documents also allege that a few days before the incident involving Vin Diesel, Jonasson was s*xually harassed by another individual at One Race Films.
In addition to s*xual assault and battery, the lawsuit includes accusations of gender-based discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, and other claims. As of now, representatives for Vin Diesel have not issued public responses to the allegations.
