New York, NY – Fallout from a recent jury conviction has led to a lawsuit against actor Jonathan Majors by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Jabbari alleges a pattern of domestic abuse that began in 2021 and continued through 2023, culminating in physical violence in 2022.
Jabbari filed the lawsuit in New York federal court, citing claims of battery, assault, emotional distress, malicious prosecution, and defamation against Majors. She accuses him of denying the abuse leading up to and after his misdemeanor conviction for reckless assault and harassment.
According to Jabbari, the abuse escalated in September 2022 when Majors allegedly attacked her, causing serious injuries. Jabbari claims that Majors had a history of threatening suicide to prevent her from seeking medical treatment or reporting the violence to authorities.
During the criminal trial, which resulted in Majors’ conviction, Jabbari testified about the alleged incidents. The jury was instructed to consider these incidents as background information rather than evidence of a propensity to commit a crime.
In response to the allegations, Majors has publicly denied the abuse and accused Jabbari of having an emotional crisis. He faces potential sentencing following the conviction, with the charges carrying a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
Majors, known for his roles in films like “Creed III,” was recently seen at the NAACP Awards with his current partner, actress Meagan Good. The lawsuit against him adds another layer of legal trouble for the actor as he awaits his sentencing in the criminal case.
