Vin Diesel is the latest entertainment industry giant to be accused of a sexual-based violation in a lawsuit. According to Vanity Fair, Diesel’s former assistant, Asta Jonasson, is suing the actor for sexual battery. She reportedly filed in Los Angeles on Dec. 21.
His former employee says the battery incident occurred in 2010 while Vin was filming ‘Fast Five.’ Vin Diesel’s production company, One Race, hired Asta to work on location in Atlanta, per the lawsuit.
At the time, Jonasson had reportedly recently graduated from a film school program in Los Angeles. The filing describes her responsibilities as an assistant. Those duties included organizing parties, being Diesel’s plus one to parties, and staying close to him during events “in case photographs were taken of him with women” while his girlfriend wasn’t present.
Vin Diesel’s Assistant Details Sexual Battery
The incident reportedly occurred during an evening in September 2010. Diesel allegedly instructed Jonasson to wait in his St. Regis hotel suite while he entertained a couple of hostesses from a night at the club.
The former assistant says Vin Diesel attacked her after the hostesses had left. He allegedly “grabbed Ms. Jonasson’s wrists, one with each of his hands, and pulled her onto the bed.” Jonasson says she asked him to stop and was able to escape his grasp. She then allegedly waited by the front door of the suite for him to leave.

Instead, Diesel allegedly approached her and began kissing and groping her chest as she pleaded for him to stop.
“Ms. Jonasson was afraid to more forcibly refuse her supervisor, knowing that getting him out of that room was both crucial to her personal safety and job security,” the suit stated, per Vanity Fair. “But this hope died when Vin Diesel dropped to his knees, pushed Ms. Jonasson’s dress up toward her waist, and molested her body, running his hands over Ms. Jonasson’s upper legs, including her inner thighs.”
After he allegedly attempted to pull down her underwear, Jonasson says she screamed and ran down the hotel hall toward a bathroom. However, Diesel didn’t let up and pinned her to the wall. He then reportedly used her hand to masturbate his “erect penis” as she “verbally refused.”
The former assistant says at that point, she tried to disassociate from the assault and keep from making the actor angry. Several hours later, Vin’s sister, Samantha Vincent, reportedly fired the assistant over the phone. Asta had reportedly been on the job for under two weeks.
Vanity Fair reports that Vin Diesel’s reps and production company have not responded to their request for comment. He has not addressed the allegation in any social media statements.
