Fast and Furious star’s lawyer says Vin Diesel ‘completely refutes these outlandish allegations’, which former assistant said occurred in a hotel room in 2010.
A former assistant to Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel filed a lawsuit against him on Thursday alleging that he sexually battered her in 2010 and that she was fired from her job just hours later.
In the lawsuit, filed in a Los Angeles court, the former assistant Asta Jonasson alleges that Diesel assaulted her in an Atlanta hotel room while the pair were working on the movie Fast Five.
“Let me be very clear: Vin Diesel categorically denies this claim in its entirety,” lawyer Bryan Freedman said in a statement reported by the trade outlet Variety. “This is the first he has ever heard about this more than 13-year-old claim made by a purportedly nine-day employee. There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations.
