Jordan Moreau Jonathan Majors has been sued by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari for alleged assault, battery and defamation from incidents dating between 2021 and 2023. Last December, Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari from a March 2023 altercation in New York City. Jabbari filed her suit, which was obtained by Variety, in New York federal court on Tuesday and accused Majors of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation.
The defamation allegation comes from the “Good Morning America” interview Majors gave after his conviction in which the actor said he “never laid [his] hands on a woman.” In the December trial, Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry repeatedly characterized Jabbari as lying about the injuries she sustained in the March 2023 incident. Majors and Jabbari met in 2021 while the actor was filming Marvel‘s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” in London, and they subsequently began dating. They moved into a London apartment together while he filmed Season 2 of Marvel’s “Loki” series in 2022.
In the lawsuit, Jabbari alleges that she was subjected to physical and emotional abuse and controlling behavior while they dated, and that Majors would threaten to harm himself if she ended their relationship. During one incident in Los Angeles in 2022, Jabbari’s lawsuit alleges that “Majors became angry with Grace. She became afraid and instinctively tried to calm him down.
Majors began shouting in Grace’s face and grabbed both her arms, pinning them to her body. He then shoved her into the shower door, causing the shower door to open. He then threw her body into the shower wall, causing her head to hit the wall.
