Actor Vin Diesel’s ex assistant is suing him for sexual battery amid claims he allegedly “forced himself on her” during the production of Fast 5 back in 2010.
According to TMZ, the 56-year-old’s former assistant claimed she was hired by production company One Race Films to work with the Hollywood star while he filmed the movie in Georgia. Diesel’s assistant had been initially tasked with organising parties and catering to the Hollywood actor’s needs.
The claimant alleges the star “groped her breasts” when they were alone. She also said she had been asked to help escort the actor from the hotel they were in to avoid paparazzi after he had allegedly been “entertaining multiple women”.

The document alleges she “struggled” continually to break away from his grip, while repeatedly saying telling him “no”. Further graphic allegations were made in the legal document, while Diesel’s former staff member is said to have been “scared of angering” the star.
In the reports, it’s claimed that Diesel’s sister and president of the production company One Race fired the alleged victim shortly after the alleged incident, saying the company didn’t need “any extra help”. The accuser believes she was fired for “courageously resisting Vin Diesel’s sexual assault”, according to the documents.
