What allegations are made against Jonathan Majors?
Majors and Jabbari have both accused each other of battery during an alleged altercation in March 2023. He was arrested on multiple assault charges including three counts of assault in the third degree one count of aggravated harassment in the second degree three counts of attempted assault in the third degree and one count of harassment in the second degree. According to several sources if convicted Majors could face up to one year in prison.
The star of “The Harder They Fall” vehemently denied the accusations stating in collaboration with his lawyer Priya Chaudhry “Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone. We have presented indisputable evidence to the District Attorney proving the falsity of the charges. We are confident that he will be completely acquitted.” In addition to the case involving Grace Variety reported that multiple women have come forward with assault allegations against Jonathan over the years.
While awaiting his trial against Jabbari Majors she herself surrendered to authorities in October in connection with the March 2023 incident. TMZ reported that Jabbari allegedly scratched Majors’ face causing a cut on his cheek and tore off buttons from his coat.
Jabbari’s attorney stated “Grace is incredibly resilient. We are disheartened when survivors are treated as perpetrators.” Meanwhile Majors’ lawyer Dustin Pusch responded to Jabbari’s surrender in a statement obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
“With her arrest yesterday the public learned that the NYPD determined probable cause exists to charge Grace Jabbari for the crimes she committed against Jonathan Majors” the statement asserted. “This conclusion was reached after a thorough and extensive investigation by the NYPD. Rather than acting on the findings of law enforcement the District Attorney’s office has unilaterally decided without explanation not to prosecute Ms. Jabbari for her wrongdoing and the documented injuries she inflicted on Mr. Majors.”
However the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office released a statement stating that it would not pursue charges against Jabbari for the alleged March 2023 incident involving Majors.
What evidence has been presented in the trial?
The trial commenced on November 29 with Jabbari taking the stand on December 5. During her testimony she became emotional as she recounted Majors’ purported “violent temper” as reported by Page Six. She claimed to have felt “fear” when he allegedly yelled at her for discussing a previous relationship. “I knew never to mention my ex again or anyone I had dated before” she stated. She also recounted another incident where Majors allegedly destroyed objects around the house after she went out with a friend one evening. She further alleged that he threatened to take his own life. Photos of her alleged injuries were presented as evidence.
Jabbari’s legal team also presented an audio recording of Majors reprimanding her as evidence as reported by the Daily Beast. The recording was made approximately six months before the alleged assault. “I am a great man. A great man. I am accomplishing great things” he asserted. “The woman who supports me the one I support must be a great woman… and make sacrifices.”
Additionally Majors’ 911 call from March 26 was played in court. On that day he found Jabbari “unconscious” referring to her as his “former partner” according to Variety. Majors claimed to have discovered his ex on the floor of their walk-in closet. However officers at the scene found no evidence suggesting an accidental overdose or suicide attempt. Majors was arrested later that day. Jabbari had previously alleged that Majors forcefully took his phone from her hands causing her pain and sleeplessness. She claimed to have taken two sleeping pills but woke up on the closet floor.
