FAST & Furious star Vin Diesel has been accused of sexual battery by his former assistant, according to a bombshell filing.
The alleged encounter occurred at the St. Regis resort in Atlanta in 2010 while Diesel was filming Fast 5, according to the suit filed in Los Angeles by the actor’s ex-assistant Asta Jonasson.

Jonasson claims she was tasked with escorting Diesel out of his hotel to avoid photographers but alleges that the actor sexually attacked her in his suite, according to the suit.
Diesel allegedly “grabbed Ms. Jonasson’s wrists, one with each of his hands, and pulled her onto the bed,” the document, obtained by Vanity Fair, read.
The ex-assistant said she then requested Diesel stop what he was doing and quickly escaped from the bed before heading to the suite door and asking the actor to leave.
The suit says that Diesel approached Jonasson again by the door, kissing and placing his hands on her chest despite pleas for Diesel to stop.

Jonasson, a recent film school graduate, said in the lawsuit that she feared for her personal safety and job security and did not initially use force to refuse Diesel’s advances.
“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 read.
“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.”
The suit continued to note that Diesel allegedly tried to pull down Jonasson’s underwear, at which point she screamed and ran down the hallway toward the bathroom.
Diesel’s team did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Vanity Fair.
