‘CREED III’ ACTOR JONATHAN MAJORS SET TO GO ON TRIAL IN NYC FOR ALLEGEDLY
BATTERING EX-GIRLFRIEND

By Molly Crane-Newman | mcranenewman@nydailynews.com | New York Daily News
PUBLISHED: November 28, 2023 at 5:32 p.m. | UPDATED: November 28, 2023 at 9:59
p.m.

Actor Jonathan Majors is set to face trial in Manhattan on Wednesday on charges
alleging he violently roughed up his ex-girlfriend during an argument in the
back of a car that spilled on to the streets of Chinatown.

The 34-year-old Majors, who rose to fame with starring roles in “The Last Black
Man in San Francisco” and “Creed III,” is charged with three counts of
third-degree assault and related crimes for the alleged attack March 25 on Canal
St. near Centre St. as the pair took a car service from Brooklyn to Manhattan.
He faces up to a year in jail if convicted.

Prosecutors say he reacted violently when Grace Jabbari took his phone out of
his hand upon seeing a text from someone else that read, “Wish I was kissing you
right now.” Majors aggressively tried to get it back, Manhattan District
Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office alleges, by prying Jabbari’s  finger off the phone
and twisting her arm before striking her ear and drawing blood.

“When Ms. Jabbari then attempted to exit the vehicle, the defendant grabbed her,
picked her up, and threw her back inside,” prosecutors wrote in recent court
filings.

Jabbari, of the U.K., was later treated at a hospital for a fractured finger, a
cut behind her ear and other injuries, according to court records. She’s
expected to testify.

Prosecutors have been in contact with 11 witnesses and have a tranche of
evidence to present at the trial, including photographs of Jabbari’s injuries,
medical records from U.S. and U.K. providers, extensive surveillance footage,
Majors’ phone records and police files, according to court documents. They’ve
also cited a report by the London Metropolitan Police stemming from an incident
in September 2022.



Majors, who was dropped by his management company and lost a string of lucrative
deals following his arrest, denies the allegations and has attempted  to
discredit his accuser.

In June, he filed a countercomplaint against Jabbari alleging she’d assaulted
him, and provided police a photo of her that wound up on a wanted poster. The
NYPD briefly placed her under arrest in September and released her with a
summons, but the DA quickly determined the case had no merit, and it was closed
and sealed.



In a filing last month, Assistant District Attorney Kelli Galaway said Majors’
lawyers provided prosecutors with a handwritten account from a witness they
later discredited. The statement claimed the witness saw the couple “tussle” and
Majors “gently” place Jabbari in the car.

But when prosecutors followed up with the witness, “He stated he had never
written it, approved it, did not previously know it existed, and that the above
statements were all false.”

Also in June, Majors was accused in a bombshell Rolling Stone exposé — which
cited interviews with 40 people —  of abusing multiple former romantic partners
and colleagues. His lawyers gave the magazine six character witness statements
from his exes, but when contacted, most of the women said they were false.

Lawyers for Majors and Jabbari did not respond to The News’ inquiries. A Bragg
spokesman declined to comment.
