It is our hope that this lawsuit promotes change in the industry, and prevents future bad behavior from occurring, Claire-Lise Y.

Kutlay, Attorney representing Asta Jonasson, via NBC.

The lawsuit also states that Jonasson was required to sign a nondisclosure agreement, which prevented her from publicly discussing anything regarding Diesel.

According to the suit, Jonasson felt empowered to speak up by the Me Too movement and is protected by the Speak Out Act, which voids NDAs for victims of sexual assault.
