In 2010, a woman briefly employed by Vin Diesel came forward with allegations of sexual assault against the actor. According to her account, she was subjected to the assault and subsequently faced termination from her position, allegedly at the behest of Diesel's sister, due to her resistance. According to CBS News, Asta Jonasson has filed a lawsuit against the actor based on a California law enacted last year. This law introduced a three-year timeframe, allowing individuals to pursue legal action for alleged sexual abuse, even if the statute of limitations would have otherwise expired. 

During the filming of Fast Five, Jonasson had the opportunity to work for Diesel. She recalls an incident that took place in Georgia, where Diesel requested her to wait in his suite at an Atlanta hotel while he attended to his guests. According to the Hollywood Reporter, it is reported that she claims he discovered her presence in the room after they departed, subsequently pulling her towards the bed and initiating a series of kisses. The individual in question allegedly made immediate attempts to distance herself from the situation.

According to her account, Diesel proceeded to accompany her as she left the bedroom, subsequently restraining her once more. It was during this time that he allegedly engaged in inappropriate touching and sexual misconduct. According to her account, she claims that following an alleged incident where he reportedly pulled her underwear down, she reacted by screaming and swiftly retreating. However, it appears that he pursued her once more, subsequently cornering her against a wall and engaging in unwanted touching of her breasts. 

According to her account, she alleges that he proceeded to engage in a sexual act in her presence. Subsequently, several hours later, the president of Diesel's One Race Films company, who happens to be his sister, reportedly contacted her to inform her that her assistance was no longer required. The clarity of the message was evident. According to the lawsuit, Ms. Jonasson was terminated from her position due to her brave refusal to tolerate Vin Diesel's alleged sexual assault. The lawsuit further claims that there was an effort to shield Vin Diesel from any consequences and to conceal the incident of sexual assault.

According to Deadline, the lawyer representing Vin Diesel has made a clear and unequivocal statement, denying the claim in its entirety.

The individual in question has recently been informed about a claim that was made over 13 years ago. This claim was allegedly made by an employee who had only been working for a period of nine days at the time. The outlandish allegations are completely refuted by clear evidence. According to Jonasson, she claims that in addition to the alleged assault by Diesel, another employee at One Race had made advances towards her.
