Jonathan Majors Hits The Gym Amid New Lawsuit

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors is sweating the new lawsuit filed against him by ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Jabbari has filed a civil suit seeking damages for alleged abuse and defamation. Earlier this year, Jabbari won a criminal trial against Majors, who is yet to be sentenced. However, Majors appeared unbothered as he spoke at an LA gym to TMZ. Elsewhere in the interview, Majors called current partner Meagan Goode “his heart”.

Furthermore, it’s not the first time that Majors has been spotted at the gym in recent weeks. In early March, Majors was spotted going hard at the gym amid rumors that he is in the running for a new film role. Per TMZ, Majors was in LA for an audition this week, where he has also been working with a team of specialist trainers. However, there is no word on what the project might be. Majors, who will be sentenced in April after being found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment, is reportedly splitting his time between LA and New York. In LA, it’s all work, with plenty of gym time. However, his NYC time is more laidback, typically spent with partner Meagan Good.

Jonathan Majors Faces New Allegations From Two Ex-Partners

However, Jabbari’s new lawsuit isn’t the only part of Majors’ past that is haunting him. Two women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, recently went public with allegations of physical and emotional abuse against Majors. Both women had their allegations referred to in a Rolling Stone exposé about Majors last year. However, the pair have since publicly reiterated their claims in an interview with The New York Times. Duncan claims that Majors “threw her across the room” and “threatened to make sure she couldn’t have children” during a fight in 2016. Meanwhile, Hooper called Majors “deeply controlling” and told her she was “not allowed to speak with anyone about the relationship”. Majors denied the accusations. However, his attorney noted that the actor was “deeply embarrassed by some of his jealous behavior”. Both women had previously declined to speak directly to Rolling Stone, with one citing a fear of retribution.

The testimony of Duncan and Hooper follows semi-public claims from another woman, who spoke to The Cut under a pseudonym. “Anna” told the publication that she had pulled her story from the Rolling Stone article after receiving a threatening letter warning her not to go public with her allegations. According to “Anna”, the phone number included with the letter was linked to the law firm retained by Majors for his criminal trial last year. Majors’ attorney denied any involvement from her or her firm in the letter.

Jonathan Majors Sued by Ex-GF Grace Jabbari, Citing Defamation and Battery

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors Reflects on Incident Leading to Assault Conviction

Jonathan Majors will be headed to court again. He is being sued by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, for battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and more.

Additional accusations in the civil suit include malicious prosecution and defamation, stating she alerted Majors’ team of abuse beginning in 2021. Jabbari stated she was subjected to a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023.”

Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, responded: “This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Majors met Jabbari as he filmed Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, and the first attack happened in 2022 and caused “serious injuries to her body.”

Jabbari stated in Sept. 2022, a verbal altercation led to Majors pushing her, causing bruising to her backside, throwing her on the hood of a car, and placing his hands around her neck with a threat of killing her.

In a separate event, Majors allegedly cornered Jabbari on a bed and raised his fist over her as she cowered. The suit reads, “On this occasion, Majors did not physically strike Grace; he obtained control over himself and left the property as Grace locked herself in a bedroom for safety.”

Additional accusations of domestic violence are available in the full report.

Majors currently await sentencing for misdemeanor third-degree assault and a violation of harassment in the second degree. The hearing is set for April 8, and Majors faces up to one year in prison.

Jonathan Majors’ Ex-Girlfriend Sues Him For Defamation, Assault & Battery

March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors is facing a new lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, following his 2023 conviction for misdemeanor reckless assault and harassment. Citing claims of battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, and defamation, Jabbari filed the case in New York on Tuesday. She says the disgraced actor’s insistence on his innocence despite last year’s conviction is an example of defamation.

The lawsuit notes a Sept. 20, 2022 incident in which Majors allegedly “pushed Grace so hard that it bruised her backside,” “picked Grace up in the air and threw her against the hood of her car,” and “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.” It adds that, “Majors then started hitting Grace’s head against the marble floor while strangling her until she felt she could no longer breathe.”

Jabbari says she wanted to seek medical treatment for the incident but Majors dissuaded her. “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,” he allegedly said via text. Those texts came up during Majors’ previous trial, but the judge only allowed the jury to interpret them as background information. The trial did not discuss the actual incident they referenced. “Majors would threaten suicide in response to Grace’s attempts to understand why Majors became physically violent with her in the aftermath and to manipulate Grace away from going to the hospital or reporting the violence to authorities,” the suit also claims.

Jabbari’s lawsuit also notes that Majors went on a press tour proclaiming himself “completely innocent,” to be “probably the victim,” that he “did not assault her whatsoever,” and that “this woman was having an emotional crisis, for which she was taken to a hospital.” She cited his viral interview with Good Morning America as one example.

Jonathan Majors & Grace Jabbari Argue In Newly Released Audio

December 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Amid Jonathan Majors’ assault trial, new audio between him and his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari has been released. In the audio, the two of them are heard arguing over what sounds like a night out. He makes it clear that he wasn’t happy that she “disturbed the peace” in their house by arriving home drunk. Majors told her that in order to properly support him in his endeavors, she has to have a “certain mindset.” He went on to reference Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama, who both famously supported their husbands.

“I’m a great man,” he adds. “A great man. I am doing great things not just for me, but for my culture and for the world. That is actually the position I’m in.” He goes on, claiming that the woman he’s with also needs to be “great” and “make sacrifices” the way he does. Jabbari isn’t heard saying much, but seems to be crying and apologizes a few times throughout the snippet.

The audio has left social media users split. Some feel as though what he’s saying is fair, while others believe he comes off as manipulative. Several others note that without proper context, it’s difficult to make a call. The clip also follows newly unveiled surveillance footage, which shows him lifting her into an SUV and struggling to keep her inside the vehicle until she eventually makes her way out. From there, he runs from her for several blocks while she trails behind, eventually losing him.

The driver of the vehicle testified, suggesting that Jabbari may have been the aggressor in this instance. “I had a feeling the girl had hit the boy… because of the way that she was fighting, and the sounds produced. She became very angry. He was not doing anything, she was doing it,” he said, admitting that he had only heard their exchange, and not actually witnessed it.

Jonathan Majors Was Hit By Ex-Girlfriend In SUV, Driver Testifies In Court

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors’ trial for assault just took a pivotal turn, although it doesn’t solve all of the conflicting reports at hand. Moreover, on Monday (December 11), the driver of the SUV in which he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari back in March of this year testified in court, with the help of an interpreter. For those unaware, the actor stands accused of striking her in an Escalade after she tried to get his phone to see messages with another woman. During his testimony, the driver said that he kept his eyes on the road while the couple fought in the back of his vehicle. Most crucially, though, he relayed to the jury that he “had a feeling the girl had hit the boy… because of the way that she was fighting, and the sounds produced.”

Furthermore, he said that Grace Jabbari demanded Jonathan Majors’ phone and “became very angry. He was not doing anything, she was doing it,” the driver continued, and he suggested that the Creed III star tried to “get rid of” her. This is a very interesting development considering the seemingly damning evidence that Majors’ ex brought against him in court. One of these was audio of his demands for “total compliance,” which added to a long list of other accusations and supposed evidence that each party presented to each other.

Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Arriving At Court

Back to the driver, though, he and his interpreter continued to answer questions and offer his version of the events. According to him, Jonathan Majors and Grace Jabbari left the car at one point at their request, exiting onto a Manhattan street corner. There, the driver recalled, they argued as Majors allegedly attempted to push Jabbari into the Escalade “to get rid of her.” Sadly, this is indicative of the supposedly violent relationship that the alleged victim and her team detailed to the jury during this case.

Meanwhile, when the defense asked the driver whether he found blood in his car afterwards, he said he found no such evidence. We’ll see where else this trial goes in the coming days and weeks, as we’ve seen Majors’ new boo Meagan Good every step of the way. With that in mind, there are many different angles and storylines that people are interested in that will probably become even more relevant in the future. But the priority is justice, and everything else should follow in its wake. For more news and the latest updates on Jonathan Majors, stay logged into HNHH.

Jonathan Majors Threatens Suicide, Seemingly Admits To Physical Abuse In Texts To His Ex

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Text messages between Jonathan Majors and Grace Jabbari were read aloud in court during his assault trial today, in which he references a violent incident that allegedly took place in 2022. In the messages, they discuss an injury Majors seemingly admits to inflicting on her during an argument. He appears to encourage her not to seek medical attention for it, suggesting that a doctor visit could expose his allegedly violent behavior.

“I fear you have no perspective of what could happen if you go to the hospital,” Majors texted Jabbari. “They will ask you questions, and as I don’t think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something.” She responded, insisting that she won’t reveal how she actually sustained the injury. “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.”

In subsequent messages, Majors threatened suicide if Jabbari decided to go to the hospital for treatment. “Last night I considered killing myself versus coming home,” Majors wrote. “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.” He continued, suggesting that his decision was final. “I will probably kill myself, it’s not really contemplating anymore,” he texted. “I’m a monster, a horrible man, not capable of love. I’m killing myself soon.”

Jabbari responded, telling him that if he continued to make suicide threats, she would have to let someone know.

Jonathan Majors: Ex-GF Plays Audio Demanding Michelle Obama-Like Behaviour & “Total Compliance”

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Opening statements for Jonathan Majors’ long-awaited assault trial began in New York yesterday (December 4), and what we’ve heard so far is even more shocking than we could’ve anticipated. For her part, the actor’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry painted a picture of her client and his alleged victim having tension between them after he initiated a breakup. According to her, this is why Grace Jabbari is accusing him of domestic violence and harassment. On top of this, Chaudhry is also suggesting that racism plays a key role in this case, which interestingly contradicts the audio played by Jabbari in court this week.

Not only did Majors allegedly demand “total compliance” from his then-partner, but the jury also heard a recording of the Creed III star seemingly yelling at his accuser, encouraging her to act more like famous Black women in history, such as President Obama’s wife, Michelle. “I’m a great man. A great man. I do great things for my culture and for the world. The woman that supports me needs to be a great woman,” Jonathan said, also naming Coretta Scott King as a good example for Jabbari to look up to.

As Complex notes, the trial between Majors and his ex is due to last up to two weeks. The former previously pleaded guilty and is facing charges of misdemeanour assault, aggravated harassment, and harassment. Elsewhere, a strangulation charge has been dropped, though it’s worth noting that the California native could still serve up to a year in prison should he be convicted.

At the courthouse, the drama unfolding around Jonathan Majors and his ex-girlfriend isn’t the only thing making headlines on our site. Ahead of a recent appearance, the embattled Marvel actor went viral for “fixing” Meagan Good’s hair, though much of the internet thinks his work needed some serious work.

Jonathan Majors’ Accuser Details Alleged Violent Relationship In Court

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors‘ accuser, Grace Jabbari, testified in his misdemeanor assault trial on Tuesday, alleging that he was liable to go into fits of “rage” during their time together. While she admits she originally “felt very loved and cared for, and very seen,” at the beginning of their relationship, she explained that she found herself being afraid of the Creed III actor. On the stand, she detailed several instances in 2022 when he was controlling, threw objects at her, and more.

“His face kind of changes when he gets into that place,” Jabbari told the jury. “He’s a big guy so you just want to step back.” She explained that she would calm him down and he would apologize and sometimes admittedly refer to himself as a “monster.” He would also allegedly threaten to kill himself after the outbursts.

Jabbari further recalled: “I felt I was existing in his world. Emotionally and physically, all these ways. I didn’t feel my autonomy. I had low self-esteem, I lost weight, I felt unconfident. I felt really dependent on him. He was the only one who knew what went on. I found it hard to [see my family and friends]. I felt I was lying to them.” According to Rolling Stone, Majors spent almost all of Jabbari’s testimony with his head down. Facing four misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment, he could spend upwards of a year in prison if convicted. He was first arrested for allegedly attacking Jabbari in New York on March 25 during a cab ride. The argument began when he received an intimate text from a woman, which Jabbari noticed.

Jonathan Majors arrived in court for opening statements in the trial in New York City on Monday with his girlfriend, actress Meagan Good, by his side. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jonathan Majors’ assault and harassment case on HotNewHipHop.

Jonathan Major’s Ex Surrenders To Police On Assault Charges

October 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Grace Jabbari, the ex-girlfriend of actor Jonathan Majors, has surrendered to police in New York after her arrest was sought for an assault against Majors. Majors filed a cross-complaint against Jabbari in June amid an investigation into assault charges she filed against him in March. Jabbari is accused of hitting Majors’ hand and face, as well as damaging his coat. The confrontation reportedly occurred in the back of a New York cab.

Jabbari was charged with misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief. However, the DA has reportedly told the NYPD that they will not prosecute Jabbari. Per TMZ, a spokesperson for the DA’s office said that they have “no intention of prosecuting Jabbari for the belated allegations made by defendant [Majors] regarding the incident on March 25, 2023.” In short, the DA is not interested in pursuing their key witness for charges their primary defendant raised three months after the incident in question.

Majors Trial Set For Late November

Meanwhile, Majors finally has a trial date to face his own charges of misdemeanor assault. Judge Michael Gaffey denied a motion to drop the charges against the actor. Furthermore, he set a trial date of November 29. However, Majors’ defense team requested that any “contested evidence” remain sealed in order to maintain a level of neutrality in the court of public opinion. “The disclosure of sensitive information will limit Mr. Majors’ right to a fair trial,” his attorneys argued.

Majors is only facing criminal charges on his alleged actions against Jabbari. However, several other women came forward with similar allegations of violence against Majors. These women came forward in the months after the alleged March assault. Furthermore, a Rolling Stone investigation painted a picture of violence and manipulation that dated back as far as Majors’ time at Yale. The trial remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.
