Judge Dismisses Four Claims in Vin Diesel Sexual Abuse Lawsuit

Vin Diesel is currently facing a lawsuit from his former assistant, Asta Jonasson, who accused him of sexual battery and wrongful termination related to a 2010 incident where she alleges Diesel pinned her against a hotel wall and performed a sex act in front of her. The case faced a procedural setback for Jonasson when a judge dismissed four of her employment discrimination claims, ruling that she failed to file a required administrative complaint within the one-year deadline under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act. Despite the dismissal of those claims, serious allegations including sexual battery, wrongful termination, retaliation, and emotional distress remain active and are moving forward in court. The lawsuit was revived in part due to the 2023 Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, which extended the statute of limitations for certain sexual assault claims dating back to 2009. Vin Diesel's legal team denies the allegations, asserting there is clear evidence refuting the claims. The case continues to attract attention given the nature of the accusations and the ongoing legal proceedings.
