A lawsuit has been filed against actor Jonathan Majors by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, following his recent conviction by a New York jury for misdemeanor reckless assault and harassment. Jabbari alleges a pattern of domestic abuse that she claims began in 2021 and continued through 2023.
The lawsuit, filed in New York federal court, includes claims for battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, and defamation. Jabbari accuses Majors of subjecting her to physical violence, detailing instances of alleged abuse that escalated to a serious incident in 2022, resulting in significant injuries to her body.
According to the lawsuit, Jabbari disclosed the abuse to Majors' management team in January 2023, which allegedly led to Majors becoming angry and attempting to dissuade her from seeking medical treatment or reporting the violence to authorities.
The suit also addresses Majors' behavior following the alleged incidents, including his denial of the abuse and attempts to undermine the jury verdict through media interviews. Jabbari claims that Majors' statements constitute defamation and were intended to harm her reputation and career.
The lawsuit further alleges that Majors engaged in controlling and verbally abusive behavior throughout their relationship, with incidents dating back to 2021. It also mentions a criminal case against Majors, in which he was convicted of reckless assault and harassment related to an incident in March 2023.
As Majors awaits sentencing in the criminal case, the lawsuit filed by Jabbari sheds light on the alleged abuse and seeks legal recourse for the harm she claims to have suffered. The case continues to unfold as both parties navigate the legal proceedings.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, Majors was recently seen at the NAACP Awards alongside his current partner, actress Meagan Good.
