“Fast & Furious” franchise star Vin Diesel has been accused of sexual battery and creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit filed by a former assistant. The civil suit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by CNN, stems from a 2010 incident in which Diesel’s former assistant, Asta Jonasson, alleges Diesel forced himself on her in a hotel suite and masturbated in front of her. Jonasson is suing Diesel, along with his company One Race Productions, and Diesel’s sister Samantha Vincent for sexual battery, creating a hostile work environment, negligent supervision and wrongful termination. She is seeking an imposition of a civil penalty of $10,000 for each violation, according to the suit. CNN has reached out to Diesel’s representatives and attorneys for comment. CNN has also reached out to attorneys for Jonasson. This is a developing story and will be updated.
