The ex-girlfriend of Jonathan Majors sued the former Marvel actor for defamation, malicious prosecution, assault and battery. She details more instances where Majors allegedly physically abused her during their nearly two-year relationship, according to legal documents obtained by Rolling Stone.
Grace Jabbari, a British professional dancer, filed suit in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday. Jabbari is suing him just three months after a New York City jury convicted him of assaulting and harassing her. She also alleges in the lawsuit that since Majors was convicted in December, he has continued to attack her reputation.
“When publicly confronted with Grace’s numerous allegations of abuse, Majors has called her a liar at every turn and very specifically claimed that he has never put his hands on a woman, with the goal of convincing the world that Grace is not a victim of domestic abuse but instead a crazy liar who should be treated as such,” the lawsuit says.
In one part of the lawsuit it goes on to also accuse Majors of defamation and malicious prosecution for allegedly lying in media interviews that he never abused Jabbari and filing a criminal complaint against her for the incident that led to his arrest, claiming he was the victim. The civil suit claims that Majors was physically violent with Jabbari at multiple times during their relationship after meeting on the set of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in August 2021, which includes a September 2022 incident in London.
The lawsuit says Jabbari is seeking at least $75,000 in damages and other costs.
Majors' original sentencing date in February was pushed to April 8 after his legal team filed a last-minute motion for the judge to overturn the verdict.
