Jonathan Majors‘ ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari has dropped the federal lawsuit in which she accused him of assault and defamation.
As reported by Deadline, The Marvel star was convicted in December 2023 of two misdemeanor counts for assaulting Grace Jabbari in the back seat of an SUV. During his April sentencing, Majors avoided jail time and instead was ordered to 52 weeks of therapy for domestic violence programming in Los Angeles.
At the center of the trial was a March 2023 incident in the backseat of a car, in which Jabbari alleged Majors broke her finger while trying to pry a phone out of her hand, twisted her arm behind her back and struck her.
In March 2024, Jabbari sued Majors for defamation citing his Good Morning America where he maintained that he had “never laid [his] hands on a woman.”
Attorneys for both parties filed a joint notice with the court on Thursday (Nov 21), stating that “all claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice.”
“It takes true bravery to hold someone with this level of power and acclaim accountable,” Jabbari’s lawyer Brittany Henderson said in a statement. “Bravery that Grace Jabbari has demonstrated at every stage of the legal process. We strongly believe that through this action, truth and transparency will bring Grace the justice that she deserves.”
“This is no surprise,” said Chaudhry after today’s filing went public. “Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari,” she added, virtually confirming the point of Jabbari’s filing. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office, who successfully prosecuted Majors’ criminal trial, declined comment on the new legal action.
Prior to the turmoil, Majors was positioned for a breakout year in 2023. He starred opposite Michael B. Jordan in Creed III and as Kang the Conqueror in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”
