The lawsuit alleges that it happened during the filming of "Fast and Furious 5" in 2010. Just hours after the incident, Jonathan was fired by Vin Diesel's sister, Samantha Vincent, president of One Race Productions.
Vin Diesel's lawyer, Brian Friedman, said in a statement: "Let me be clear: Vin Diesel categorically and completely denies this allegation. It was the first time he had heard of it — allegations from an employee who allegedly employed him for nine days 13 years ago. We have clear evidence to completely refute these bizarre allegations. ”
Jonathan's lawyer, Claire-Liz Coutre, said her client's lawsuit was aimed at holding Vin Diesel and those who "allowed and covered up his sexual assault accountable for his egregious behavior."
