Testifying for the third day in a row in Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial, the actor’s ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari reached a breaking point Thursday.
Under cross-examination from defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry and with Majors seated close by, Jabbari left Judge Michael Gaffey’s courtroom this afternoon in tears upon being shown police body-camera footage of the NYPD responding to the Magazine Dreams star’s 911 call in late March.
Dropped by his management and PR company soon after he was arrested for the incident, Majors could get up to a year behind bars if found guilty on the misdemeanor charges against his ex of two years.
The actor has insisted on his innocence, and his attorneys have repeatedly said Jabbari was the aggressor in the relationship and on the night of March 24 – even going so far as to file a cross-complaint against her in June. With the Manhattan DA’s office essentially terming any prosecution of Jabbari as DOA, the defense has also termed the case against their WME-repped client a “witch hunt.”
Last week, after tossing on-lookers out of the court for a spell, Judge Gaffey sealed evidence he openly called “prejudicial and inflammatory” toward Majors. Sources have told Deadline that the sealed documents at issue contain information on potential past incidents involving the actor both in the U.S. and the UK.
The police footage shown in court today, revealing a partially clothed Jabbari asleep and awaking in a small room in Major’s Chelsea apartment, prompted `loud cries from the self-described “professional dancer” that could be heard from the witness room. Coming back to the 100 Centre Street courtroom after a few minutes, Jabbari asked Judge Gaffey “do I have to?” about watching the video.
