The case stems from an altercation in New York between actor Jonathan Majors and his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
Jonathan Majors, the “Creed III” actor slated to anchor upcoming Marvel projects, lost his bid to stave off a long-delayed domestic assault trial, in which he is accused of attacking his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in the back of a chauffeured car.
If convicted, Majors could face up to a year in jail. His legal team has maintained that the actor is not only innocent but was also assaulted by Jabbari during the back-seat dispute.The district attorney’s office has discounted that notion and has said that it has no plans to prosecute Jabbari over the March incident, despite unconfirmed reports in multiple news outlets that she faces possible arrest.
Majors’s attorney Priya Chaudhry has claimed from the outset that he was actually Jabbari’s victim. In a domestic incident report Majors filed with police in June, he told police that Jabbari was “drunk and hysterical” during the car ride, slapping and scratching him hard enough to draw blood, according to a report fromThe actor acknowledged preventing Jabbari from leaving the vehicle, but said in his report: “I was worried she would be hurt by traffic.
