Asta Jonasson says she was hired by production company One Race Films to be 56-year-old Diesel's assistant while he filmed the film in Georgia.
According to documents obtained by the publication, Jonasson claims she was in Diesel's suite at the St. Regis in Atlanta while he was “entertaining multiple women.”
She claims that when the last woman left, she was tasked with escorting Diesel out of the hotel to avoid paparazzi. She claims the actor forcibly grabbed her in the suite, groped her breast and kissed her.
Jonasson claims she struggled to free herself, but the actor reportedly continued.
Vin Diesel's former assistant is suing the actor for sexual harassment, claiming the actor “forced himself on her” during production of Fast 5 in 2010, TMZ reports (pictured May 2023).

She claims Diesel then lifted up her dress and tried to pull down her underwear before pushing her against the wall, grabbing her hand and placing it on his erect penis.
She claims the actor was wearing underwear after pulling down his cargo shorts.
Jonasson then claims he pulled down her underwear and began masturbating while leaning against her. She claims she kept her eyes closed to “dissociate.”
She claims that when he finished, he pulled up his shorts and said, “No one can say shit about Asta,” and left the room.
Jonasson claims hours later, Diesel's sister and One Race president Samantha Vincent called and fired her, saying, “They didn't need her help anymore.”
In the lawsuit, Jonasson says she believes she was fired because she fought back against Diesel during the alleged attack.
Jonasson also says she remained silent “out of fear of Diesel's power in Hollywood” and because of “her immigration status as a green card holder.”
She says she now feels empowered by the #MeToo movement, citing California's Speak Out Act, which allows victims to file sexual assault lawsuits over alleged incidents dating back to 2009.
Jonasson says she is suing Diesel, his sister and One Race Films for sexual harassment, wrongful termination and hostile work environment.
