Grace Jabbari, the ex-girlfriend of actor Jonathan Majors, has officially withdrawn her defamation lawsuit against him.
Story Summary:
- Grace Jabbari, Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend, has withdrawn her defamation lawsuit against the actor.
- Majors was previously convicted of misdemeanour assault against Jabbari but maintained his innocence.
- The lawsuit’s dismissal comes as Majors faces career upheaval, including being dropped by Marvel Studios.
Grace Jabbari drops Jonathan Majors defamation lawsuit
The lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accused Majors of defaming her in public statements where he denied allegations of abuse following his conviction for misdemeanour assault in December 2023.
According to reports, the case was dismissed “with prejudice,” meaning it cannot be refiled, signalling a definitive end to Jabbari’s claims in this legal chapter.
Attorneys for both parties did not provide immediate comment, leaving many questions unanswered about why the lawsuit was dropped.
Majors, 35, faced significant fallout after his conviction, including the loss of his prominent role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
He was also dropped by his management team and had several advertising campaigns pulled.
The origins of the lawsuit date back to 2019, when Majors was accused of assaulting Jabbari during a heated altercation. Evidence presented during his trial included CCTV footage, photos of Jabbari’s injuries, and testimony from prosecutors who described a “pattern of coercion and emotional abuse.”
While Majors avoided jail time due to a lack of a prior criminal record, his sentencing included a mandatory year of counselling.
Following the trial, he spoke out in interviews, stating, “I have never laid my hands on a woman,” which Jabbari alleged amounted to defamation.
Despite these setbacks, Majors has consistently maintained his innocence.
What’s next for Jonathan Majors?
Despite the legal and professional turmoil, Majors continues to move forward. He is engaged to actress Meagan Good, who was a constant presence during his trial.
The couple recently shared their engagement news at the Ebony Power 100 Gala, with Good expressing her unwavering support for Majors.
Additionally, Majors’ critically acclaimed performance in the upcoming film Magazine Dreams is set to debut in early 2025, signalling a potential rebound for his career.
The actor’s legal challenges and the withdrawal of the defamation lawsuit may pave the way for a new chapter, though public and industry scrutiny will likely follow him for years to come.
