Three months after his conviction for misdemeanor reckless assault and harassment, Jonathan Majors is facing a new lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

Jabbari filed the lawsuit in New York federal court on Tuesday (March 19) accusing Jonathan of battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, and defamation

In the lawsuit, Grace accused Jonathan of subjecting her to a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023.

Grace Jabbari detailed a brutal attack at the hands of Jonathan Majors on September 20, 2022, that caused “serious injuries to her body.” 

According to the lawsuit, following a verbal altercation, Jonathan “pushed Grace so hard that it bruised her backside.”

He then “picked Grace up in the air and threw her against the hood of her car.”

The suit also alleges that Jonathan Majors “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.”

Grace Jabbari wanted to seek medical treatment because she was unable to sleep due to the head trauma she suffered. 

Text messages presented in court during Jonathan’s trial revealed his attempts to dissuade Grace from going to the hospital.

I fear you have no perspective of what could happen if you go to the hospital.

They will ask you questions, and as I don’t think you actually protect us, it could lead to an investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something.

Grace replied:

I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I’m going to give it one more day, but I can’t sleep and I need some stronger pain killers.

That’s all: why would I tell them what really happened when it’s clear I want to be with you?

Jonathan Majors took it a step further by threatening to unalive himself if she went to seek medical treatment.

Last night I considered killing myself versus coming home. I need love too. Or maybe I’m such a monster and horrible man, I don’t deserve it. And I should just kill myself. In this way, my existence is miserable, I want to die.

Grace replied:

I will not go to the doctor if you don’t feel safe with me doing so, or don’t trust me to. I promise you I would never mention you but understand your fear.

Jonathan continued:

I will probably kill myself, it’s not really contemplating anymore. I’m a monster, a horrible man, not capable of love. I’m killing myself soon.

Grace pleaded with the actor:

Jonathan, you can’t say this I’m going to have to tell someone.

Jonathan Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said Grace Jabbari’s lawsuit comes as no surprise.

“Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari,” she added. 

Jonathan Majors, who is scheduled to be sentenced on April 8, 2024, is currently dating “Harlem” actress Meagan Good
