The Spin
Narrative A
The issue of sexual harassment and assault in the entertainment industry will never stop if actors like Vin Diesel are protected from accountability. Jonasson's lawsuit must bring a lasting change and empower women who are afraid to speak out against their tormentors in an industry known for protecting powerful men and silencing survivors.
Narrative B
Every person accused of a crime must be presumed innocent until it's established in court beyond reasonable doubt that they are guilty. It's natural to rush to judgment without interrogating the facts of a case, particularly when somebody is a celebrity, but Jonasson's lawsuit shouldn't be allowed to demolish the reputation of Vin Diesel before the legal process has even played out.
