Actor Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, has filed a lawsuit against him in federal court, following his conviction by a New York City jury for assaulting and harassing her. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, accuses Majors of defamation, malicious prosecution, assault, and battery. Jabbari alleges in the court documents that Majors subjected her to physical abuse on multiple occasions throughout their nearly two-year relationship, beginning in July 2022.

Furthermore, Jabbari claims that since Majors' conviction in December, he has continued to damage her reputation by publicly denying her allegations of abuse and portraying her as dishonest. His attorney, Priya Chaudhry, stated that they were expecting Jabbari's lawsuit and are preparing counterclaims against her.

In addition to the allegations made by Jabbari, the court papers assert that Majors has a history of abusive behavior towards women dating back to 2013. However, Jabbari did not specify the identities of any other alleged victims. Majors’ attorney denied the physical abuse allegations made by Emma Duncan and emotional abuse allegations made by Maura Hooper, both of whom are former girlfriends of Majors.

Marvel severed ties with Majors following his conviction, despite his role as supervillain Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel movie franchise. Majors, in an attempt to salvage his acting career, has denied harming Jabbari in interviews and maintained that he has never engaged in domestic abuse, although he acknowledged witnessing such behavior in the past.

In response to the allegations made against him, Majors vehemently denied ever physically harming a woman, stating, “I have never hit a woman. I have never. My hands have never struck a woman. Ever.”

However, according to Jabbari's lawsuit, Majors has resorted to publicly tarnishing her reputation since he can no longer physically abuse her. The lawsuit accuses Majors of launching a media campaign to discredit Jabbari, claiming innocence and portraying himself as the victim following his arrest.

The lawsuit further alleges that Majors assaulted Jabbari for a second time in September 2022, causing serious injuries. According to Jabbari, Majors threw her onto a car hood and covered her mouth to prevent her from calling for help. Subsequently, inside their home, he purportedly slammed her head against the marble floor and strangled her until she struggled to breathe. Jabbari disclosed this abuse to a member of Majors' management team, which enraged Majors upon discovering that she had exposed his behavior.

The violent incident that led to Majors' charges occurred in March 2023, after Jabbari discovered a text message on his phone from another woman named Cleopatra while they were traveling from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Prosecutors asserted that Majors slapped Jabbari in the face, fracturing her finger, and forcefully threw her back into the car when she attempted to exit.

Despite Majors' denial of striking Jabbari, a nine-person jury found him guilty of harassment and misdemeanor assault. His sentencing, initially set for February, was postponed to April 8 after his attorney filed a last-minute motion requesting the judge to overturn the verdict.
