Grace Jabbari Requests Court to Dismiss Defamation and Assault Case Against Jonathan Majors
Jonathan Majors and his former partner, Grace Jabbari, are concluding their legal disputes.
As per a voluntary dismissal request filed in a New York federal court and acquired by YSL News on Thursday, both parties have asked the court to dismiss all defamation and assault allegations made by Jabbari against the 35-year-old actor from “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” permanently preventing her from reopening the case.
No specific reasons were provided for this joint dismissal request. YSL News has reached out for comments from the attorneys representing both sides.
In March, Jabbari accused Majors of abuse and claimed he orchestrated a “widespread media campaign” to harm her reputation. The lawsuit included accusations of battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and malicious prosecution, alleging a history of physical abuse during their relationship.
In December 2023, after a two-week trial, a jury in New York found Majors guilty of assaulting Jabbari, resulting in his conviction on one misdemeanor assault charge and a harassment violation.
Majors received a sentence in April, but he was spared from prison time; instead, he was sentenced to participate in 52 weeks of therapy focused on domestic violence in Los Angeles.
The case revolved around a March 2023 incident in a car where Jabbari claimed Majors injured her finger while trying to forcibly take her phone, twisted her arm, and hit her.
Majors has denied all charges, maintaining his innocence. His lawyer previously stated that he aims to “focus his time and energy entirely on his family and art,” according to YSL News.
Following his conviction, Majors was let go by Marvel and is expected to star in Martin Villeneuve’s upcoming horror film, “Merciless.”
Earlier this month, he announced his engagement to Meagan Good, a little over a year after dating rumors first sparked during his trial.
