Vin Diesel denied the sexual assault allegations brought against him last year by a former assistant in court documents filed in Los Angeles.
On Monday, March 25, Diesel’s lawyers answered the suit, saying the actor denied “generally and specifically, each and every allegation” leveled by the plaintiff, Asta Jonasson. Similar filings were made on behalf of the other defendants in the case, Diesel’s production company, One Race Productions, and the actor’s sister, Samantha Vincent, who’s a producer at the company.
Jonasson accused Diesel of sexually assaulting her in his Atlanta hotel room one week after she’d been hired to work for him. She says One Race then fired her the next day in retaliation for resisting Diesel’s advances. The new filing puts forward numerous “affirmative defense” claims, which could help Diesel’s lawyers rebuff Jonasson’s allegations if the defense sufficiently proves them in court.
At the time the suit was filed, Diesel’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, issued a statement saying the actor “categorically denies this claim in its entirety.” He added: “This is the first he has ever heard about this more than 13-year-old claim made by a purportedly nine-day employee. There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations.
