Vin Diesel's partner Paloma Jimenez furious over ‘potential betrayal’ after star accused of sexual assault
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It seems trouble has started brewing between Vin Diesel and his longtime partner, Paloma Jimenez after the actor was accused of molestation and assault.
‘The Fast and the Furious’ star has recently been sued by his former assistant Asta Jonasson, who alleged that Diesel masturbated before her in 2010.
Vin Diesel and Paloma Jimenez’s relationship on the rocks
Now it has been reported that Jimenez, the mother of Diesel's three children, is upset because of the scandal and “the potential betrayal,” Radar Online reports.
Also, a source shared, “This [alleged assault] would've happened right around when she gave birth to son Vincent.”
The 40-year-old Mexican model gave birth to her and Diesel’s secondborn Vincent Sinclair in 2010.
Meanwhile, in her civil suit court filing submitted in a Los Angeles court, Jonasson has accused the ‘Fast X’ actor of groping her and restraining her against a wall.
The woman also alleged that Diesel went on to masturbate in front of her while they were at a Georgia hotel suite despite her “clear statements of non-consent.”
The actor and the accuser were working on ‘Fast Five’ at the time.
Vin Diesel denies sexual assault claims
Diesel has dismissed the accusations via his representative.
His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, told Vanity Fair, “Let me be very clear: Vin Diesel categorically denies this claim in its entirety,” he said.

“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,” the attorney added.
Vin Diesel allegedly wanted to 'fulfill his sexual desires’
But his ex-assistant has also accused the actor’s sister Samantha Vincent of firing her from her job soon after the alleged abuse.
Her court’s submission read, “It was clear to her that she was being fired because she was no longer useful—Vin Diesel had used her to fulfill his sexual desires and she had resisted his sexual assaults.”
The suit also added that the accuser’s “self-esteem was demolished, and she questioned her skills and whether a successful career would require her to trade her body for advancement.”
Now, through her suit, Jimenez demands damages "sufficient to punish" Diesel, Vincent, and his business.

Due to the allegations, the actor’s career is also at its end, a tipster claimed.
They reportedly added, “After the last two Fast & Furious flops, this scandal provides a perfect excuse for the studio to call it a wrap on the flagging franchise. That would be a disaster for Vin!”
