Grace Jabbari, Jonathan’s ex, filed a federal lawsuit against actor Jonathan Majors on Tuesday, following his conviction in a New York City court three months prior for assault and harassment charges related to her.
In her lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York, Jabbari accuses Majors of defamation, malicious prosecution, assault, and battery.
She claims in the court documents that Majors physically harmed her on multiple occasions throughout their nearly two-year relationship, starting in July 2022.
Additionally, Jabbari alleges that Majors has further damaged her reputation since his conviction in December.
According to NBC
“When publicly confronted with Grace’s numerous allegations of abuse, Majors has called her a liar at every turn and very specifically claimed that he has never put his hands on a woman, with the goal of convincing the world that Grace is not a victim of domestic abuse but instead a crazy liar who should be treated as such,” the lawsuit says.
Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said they were anticipating Jabbari’s lawsuit.
“This is no surprise,” Chaudhry said in an email. “Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari.”
In the court papers, Jabbari also alleges that Majors “has consistently engaged in an escalating pattern of abusive behavior towards women since as early as 2013.”
Jabbari, who met Majors in 2021 on the set of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” did not identify who else he may have abused.
In February, two more of Majors’ ex-girlfriends, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, told The New York Times that he had physically and emotionally abused them, too. Those allegations span 2013 to 2019.
Majors, through his lawyer, denied that he had physically abused Duncan, and in response to emotional abuse allegations from Hooper, his lawyer told the Times,
“Looking back, he is embarrassed by some of his jealous behavior.”
Marvel parted company with Majors, once a rising star in Hollywood, in December after he was convicted.
Majors, who played supervillain Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel movie franchise, had been set to revisit the role in 2026’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.”
