Tuesday accusing the actor of assault, defamation, and filing a false police report against her. The suit, filed in federal court in New York, comes three months after a juryof assaulting and harassing Jabbari in March 2023. The complaint alleges that Majors and his legal team defamed Jabbari even though “they are keenly aware of Grace’s allegations that Majors has physically laid hands on her on more than one occasion.
“It takes true bravery to hold someone with this level of power and acclaim accountable. Bravery that Grace Jabbari has demonstrated at every stage of the legal process,” a lawyer for Jabbari, Brittany N. Henderson, said in a statement. “We strongly believe that through this action, truth and transparency will bring Grace the justice that she deserves.” Majors’s team did not immediately respond to the Cut’s request for comment.
Jabbari’s lawsuit alleges that Majors engaged in a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse” throughout their two-year relationship, which began after they met on the set ofin August 2021. The complaint describes several alleged bouts of physical violence, including a September 2022 incident in London in which Jabbari says Majors threw her onto the hood of a car and covered her mouth as she shouted for help.
The complaint alleges that Majors also engaged in malicious prosecution by filing a police report against Jabbari, in which he accused her of being the aggressor in the March 2023 altercation in a chauffeured car for which he was charged. The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute Jabbari, and the lawsuit claims the police report was a “truly desperate attempt to discredit his victim before trial.
Jabbari, who asked for a jury trial, is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Majors is due to be sentenced in the criminal case on April 8, after the actor’s legal time filed a motion asking the judge to overturn the verdict.
