Filed today, December 21, 2023 in Los Angeles, the suit claims that the incident took place in a St. Regis hotel suite in 2010 when the assistant was working for the Fast and Furious star during the filming of Fast Five.
The plaintiff, Asta Jonasson said in the suit that she had been contracted by Diesel’s company, One Race, to work for the actor on location in Atlanta. The suit added that Jonasson was a recent Los Angeles film school program graduate who assisted the actor in organising parties, accompanying him to parties, and being in close physical proximity to the actor in public.
According to Vanity Fair, “The suit alleges that late one night in September 2010, Jonasson was asked to wait in Diesel’s suite at the St. Regis hotel while he entertained hostesses he had brought back from a club. Once the other women were gone, the lawsuit claims, Diesel ‘grabbed Ms. Jonasson’s wrists, one with each of his hands, and pulled her onto the bed.’ She asked him to stop, escaped his grasp, and waited by the front door of the suite for him to leave.”
