Vin Diesel Fights to Dismiss Sexual Assault Lawsuit

The actor denies allegations from 2010, citing 'consent' and 'legitimate business reasons' in his defense.

Vin Diesel denies all allegations of sexual assault made by former assistant Asta Jonasson, stemming from an incident in 2010.
Diesel's legal team files for dismissal of the lawsuit, asserting defenses including 'consent' and 'legitimate business reasons' for any employment actions taken.
Jonasson accuses Diesel of sexual assault in his hotel room and alleges she was fired the next day for resisting his advances.
Jonasson's lawsuit, enabled by California's AB2777 law, seeks justice for alleged sexual battery, discrimination, and wrongful termination.
Diesel's denial and request for dismissal mark a high-profile case amid the ongoing #MeToo movement, highlighting issues of power dynamics and accountability in Hollywood.
