00:00 Vin Diesel is denying the assault allegations brought forward by his former assistant.
00:06 This past week, actor Vin Diesel's former assistant, Asta Janassen, filed a lawsuit
00:12 against her former boss, claiming SA occurred while she was working for him.
00:16 The assistant alleged that the assault took place in 2010, and the suit claims that the
00:21 assistant "continually pleaded with him to stop" and was later fired.
00:26 A segment of Janassen's lawsuit reads, "Empowered by the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, Janassen
00:32 is unwilling to remain silent any longer and seeks to reclaim her agency and justice for
00:38 the suffering she endured at the hands of Vin Diesel and One Race."
00:42 A lawyer for The Fast and Furious star Brian Friedman commented on the suit, saying, "Let
00:46 me be very clear.
00:48 Vin Diesel categorically denies this claim in its entirety.
00:52 This is the first time he has ever heard about this more than 13-year-old claim made by a
00:56 purportedly 9-day employee.
00:59 There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations."
