New York, NY – Actor Jonathan Majors is facing serious allegations in a new lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. The professional dancer accuses Majors of assault, defamation, and battery, claiming that she endured abuse throughout their two-year relationship from August 2021 to early 2023. Jabbari detailed instances of abuse, including a violent altercation on September 20, 2022, where she alleges that she sustained a head injury following a confrontation with Majors after a night out.
According to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone, Jabbari described a disturbing incident in London where Majors allegedly threw her on the hood of a car and then proceeded to physically assault her. She claimed that Majors placed her in a headlock and covered her mouth to prevent her cries for help from being heard. The abuse continued inside their home, where Jabbari alleges that Majors strangled her and repeatedly hit her head against the marble floor.
The lawsuit also references another incident in Los Angeles in June 2022, where Majors reportedly pinned Jabbari against a wall, causing another head injury. Despite these allegations, representatives for Majors have not yet responded to requests for comment.
This legal battle comes on the heels of Majors being found guilty in December 2023 of assault and harassment in a separate case involving Jabbari. The actor was previously arrested in March 2023 for choking Jabbari during a domestic dispute, which resulted in her being treated for minor head and neck injuries at a hospital.
During the trial, Jabbari testified about Majors’ violent behavior, but the focus was primarily on the recent arrest rather than the September 2022 incident. Majors later expressed shock and fear over the guilty verdict, sharing his struggles with the aftermath of the trial and his relationship with actress Meagan Good, whom he has been dating since May 2023.
The actor was scheduled for sentencing in February but the date was postponed to April as his legal team seeks to appeal the verdict. These troubling accusations shed light on the complexities of domestic violence and the legal battles that ensue in high-profile cases.
