nypost.com:

bombshell lawsuit was filed accusing the actor of sexual battery.The “Fast and the Furious” star’s former assistant Asta Jonasson filed a suit saying that he “forced himself” on her in 2010.The 2017 clip features Diesel, now 56, and Brazilian YouTuber Carol Moreira as he promotes his film “XXX: Return of Xander Cage.”“God, you’re so beautiful, you’re so beautiful, man, am I right or wrong?” Diesel asks in the video.Moreira thanks him, as he interjects: “How am I supposed to do this interview?“She’s so beautiful.

Let’s get out of here, let’s go have lunch. My God, I love her. Look how beautiful she is, God, I love her, wow,” Diesel continues.In another portion of the clip, he crawls toward her on his knees and says: “She’s so f – – king beautiful, it’s like, you can’t even do an interview with her.”The video has made its way to X, where users have expressed shock over his behavior.“This is so f – – king creepy holy s – – t,” a fan wrote. “Ewww,” another chimed in.

A second person chimed in: “One of the cringiest interviews ever. Gross!!”As previously reported by The Post on Dec. 21, Diesel “categorically” denied Jonasson’s new claims via his lawyer.In the lawsuit, a copy of which was obtained by Vanity Fair, Diesel’s ex-employee alleges he invited her to his suite at the St.

Regis hotel in Atlanta after a club outing with others during production of “Fast Five.”Jonasson claimed that after the other women present had departed, Diesel grabbed her wrists and pushed her onto the bed.She asked him to stop and then he reportedly went on to grope her breasts and kiss her chest.“Ms.
