Just 30 minutes ago, fans around the world were stunned when Paloma Jiménez – the longtime partner of Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel – appeared in tears with her children. Unable to hide her sadness, Paloma choked up and shared:
“He no longer believes in the world he once contributed to. And this time… he chose to withdraw.”
Vin Diesel’s decision to stop participating in all artistic projects related to women has shaken Hollywood. The incident took place in the context of a former assistant of the actor filing a lawsuit alleging sexual assault from more than a decade ago.
The ghost of the past resurfaces
According to the lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles court, the assistant (anonymous) accused Vin Diesel of “inappropriate” behavior when working privately with her in a hotel room in 2011, during the filming of Fast Five.
Although no criminal charges were filed at the time, the case was recently revived amid the resurgence of #MeToo. Several media outlets began to investigate further, while Diesel’s legal team immediately denied all allegations, calling it “a ploy to smear his reputation at the height of his career.”
Withdrawing from female art: A controversial decision
What shocked the public was not only the lawsuit, but Vin Diesel’s own reaction. In a personal statement, the 57-year-old actor said:
“I no longer feel safe or respected when contributing to female art projects. This is not a resignation, but an act of self-protection.”
According to sources close to Diesel, he has canceled at least three film projects with female leads and withdrawn from activities supporting young female talent in Hollywood.
This decision has caused a stir in the art community. Some people spoke out in support, saying he was being “judged by social media” rather than the legal system. But most believed Diesel was “reacting passively” and secretly retaliating against women.
Family rift, Paloma in pain
The image of Paloma Jiménez walking out of the house with red eyes, holding her three young children, caused social media to explode. She had never appeared so vulnerable in public.
A family friend revealed:
“Paloma tried to keep the peace, but she couldn’t stay silent forever when the children started asking questions about their father.”
The relationship between Paloma and Vin is said to be on the verge of breaking up, when she wanted Diesel to face the truth and choose transparency, while he withdrew, refusing to appear in public.
Hollywood is deeply divided
While studios remain silent, waiting for clarity, some former colleagues such as Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson have also refused to comment, making Diesel’s silence even more suspicious.
On social media, many fans expressed disappointment:
“We used to think he was a symbol of strength and justice. Now he turns his back and walks away when the world needs him to speak up.”
The end: A journey to close?
When Vin Diesel – who was once a role model for millions – chose to leave the female arts, people could not help but wonder:
“Is this the end of an icon… or just a temporary fog before the light returns?”
