Jabbari filed her suit 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 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.
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. When Grace tried to escape, things escalated. In an effort to stop the abuse, Grace informed Majors that she was going to have to inform his team of what he had done to her, at which point, Majors began throwing candles and other objects in a frenzied state, denting the wall and leaving glass shattered on the floor.”
During another incident in London in 2022, the lawsuit claims “Majors pushed Grace so hard that it bruised her backside. When Grace got up, she attempted to leave the house. Majors picked Grace up in the air and threw her against the hood of her car. Grace began shouting for help. Majors then forcefully grabbed Grace, placing her in a headlock and put his hand over her mouth to prevent someone from hearing her cries for help. He brought Grace back into their house and held his hands around her neck, stating that he wanted to kill her, and that he was going to kill her. Majors then started hitting Grace’s head against the marble floor while strangling her until she felt she could no longer breathe.”
Majors is set to be sentenced next month for his December 2023 conviction.
In the wake of his conviction, he was fired by Marvel from his villain role as Kang the Conqueror, and his bodybuilding movie, Magazine Dreams, was removed from Searchlight’s release calendar.
Though his acting career has taken a turn following his conviction, he recently attended the NAACP Awards last weekend with his girlfriend, Meagan Good.
