Vin Diesel’s old interview with a female reporter doesn’t paint a very favorable picture of him.
SUMMARY
Vin Diesel is at the center of a sexual assault lawsuit from a former assistant, dating back to an incident which occurred in 2010.
Amid the development, Diesel’s old interview with a female reporter is going viral.
Fast and Furious franchise kingpin Vin Diesel, whose real name is Mark Sinclair, is in the headlines due to a s-xual assault lawsuit brought forward against him by his former assistant, Asta Jonasson.

As per the suit, the incident took place during the 2010 filming of Fast Five. The 56-year-old’s representatives have denied the accusations. However, the news is spreading like wildfire on the internet, leading to resurfacing of Diesel’s other questionable antics. One such incident is related to a rather creep interaction the actor once had with a female reporter.
Vin Diesel’s Uncomfortable Interview With a Female Reporter Is Going Viral
Asta Jonasson’s lawsuit has put Vin Diesel in a tricky situation after she claimed that the powerful actor and producer s-xually assaulted her in 2010 while she was working for him in Atlanta.

It is alleged that Mark Sinclair brought her to his suite at the St. Regis Hotel and subsequently pinned her to a wall as he performed a s-x act on himself.
“Ms. Jonasson was unable to escape and closed her eyes, scared of angering Vin Diesel by rejecting him further and trying to dissociate, wishing the assault would end,” the suit alleges (via Variety).
Jonasson is also suing the actor for wrongful termination, alleging his company fired her after the said assault.
Many internet users are seemingly hard at work to underline Diesel’s other controversial antics, including his old interview from 2017, where he can be seen telling a Brazilian YouTuber Carol Moreira how “beautiful” she is.
Fans took offense with how the XXX: The Return of Xander Cage star persistently kept praising her looks rather than answering her questions.
I believe her. Remember when he made the interviewer uncomfortable with cutting her off constantly? Vin Diesel has always been a creep. https://t.co/pmH1Om042a pic.twitter.com/Sp7SDQ2ZDj

At one point in the interview, he remarked, “She’s so f*****g beautiful it’s like, you can’t even do an interview with her” and then went on to crawl towards her on his knees.
The journalist didn’t say much and just awkwardly smiled but many fans suggested his behavior was creepy and unprofessional.
Vin Diesel’s Representative Reacts to the S-xual Assault Lawsuit
After seeing Diesel’s uncomfortable interview, many fans in the reply section of the viral video seem to have reached the conclusion that he might in fact be guilty. However, it’s best to let the investigation take its natural course.
Hollywood star Vin Diesel.
In that regard, Bryan Freedman, a lawyer for Diesel issued a statement on Thursday afternoon to deny the allegations. The statement read:
“Let me be very clear: Vin Diesel categorically denies this claim in its entirety. This is the first he has ever heard about this more than 13-year-old claim made by a purportedly 9-day employee. There is clear evidence which completely refutes these outlandish allegations.”
Meanwhile, in a statement to BBC News, a lawyer for Jonasson has said her client aims to hold Diesel and those who allowed and covered up his s-xual assault accountable for their actions.
