Jonathan Majors has been sued by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, for assault, battery, and defamation in incidents dating back to between 2021 and 2023. Last December, Majors was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari in a March 2023 altercation in New York City.
Al-Jabbari filed the lawsuit she obtained diverse, She appeared in federal court in New York on Tuesday and charged Majors with assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation. The defamation claim comes from an interview Majors gave on “Good Morning America” after his conviction in which the actor said he “never lied.” [his] A hand on a woman.” At the December trial, Majors’ attorney, Priya Chowdhury, repeatedly described Al-Jabbari as lying about the injuries she sustained in the March 2023 incident.
Majors and Jabari met in 2021 while the actor was filming the Marvel movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” in London, and they subsequently began dating. They moved into a London apartment together while filming the second season of Marvel's Loki in 2022. In the lawsuit, Jabbari alleges that she experienced physical and emotional abuse and controlling behavior while they were dating, and that Majors would threaten to harm her. The same if she ends their relationship.
During one incident in Los Angeles in 2022, Al-Jabbari’s lawsuit alleges, “Majors became angry with Grace. She became frightened and instinctively tried to calm him down. Majors began yelling at Grace and grabbed her arms and pinned them to her body. He then pushed her into the shower door, causing the shower door to open. He then threw her body into the shower wall, causing her head to hit the wall. When Grace tried to escape, things escalated. In an attempt to stop the abuse, Grace informed Majors that she would have to report to his team for what he had done to her, at which point Majors began throwing candles and other objects in a frenzy, denting the wall and leaving it. “The glass shattered on the floor.”
During another incident in London in 2022, the lawsuit alleges, “Majors pushed Grace so hard that she bruised her buttocks. When Grace got up, she tried to leave the house. Majors picked Grace up in the air and threw her onto the hood of the car. Grace started screaming for help. Majors then forcefully grabbed Grace, placed her in a headlock and placed his hand over her mouth to prevent anyone from hearing her screams for help. He took Grace back to their house and put his hands around her neck, saying he wanted to kill her and that he was going to kill her. Majors then began hitting Grace's head on the marble floor while choking her until she felt like she could no longer breathe.
The lawsuit also includes text messages between the couple in which Majors convinced Al-Jabbari not to seek medical help and threatened to kill himself. Portions of these transcripts were used in the December 2023 trial, although they were only allowed as background information and not as evidence related to the March 2023 altercation.
Majors is scheduled to be sentenced next month due to his conviction in December 2023. In the wake of his conviction, Marvel fired him from his villainous role as Kang the Conqueror, and his bodybuilding film “Magazine Dreams” was removed from Searchlight's release calendar. Although his acting career has taken a turn following his conviction, he recently attended the NAACP Awards ceremony last weekend with his girlfriend, Meagan Good.
