According to a lawsuit filed, he pinned her against a wall and engaged in unwanted s+x¥al acts. Diesel’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, vehemently denies the allegations.

Jonasson is also suing Diesel’s firm, alleging wrongful termination after the incident.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 21, 2023, includes claims of sexual battery, gender discrimination, illegal retaliation, emotional distress & wrongful termination.

Claire-Lise Kutlay, Jonasson’s lawyer, emphasizes her client’s pursuit of accountability and hopes her decision to come forward empowers other survivors.
