Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend has filed a lawsuit accusing the Creed III and Marvel actor of battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation.
Majors, 34, in December was found guilty of misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment in connection to a March 2023 altercation with his then-girlfriend, actor and dancer Grace Jabbari.
In a civil lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, Jabbari claimed Majors had “consistently engaged in an escalating pattern of abusive behavior towards women since as early as 2013”, according to legal documents obtained by Rolling Stone.
The lawsuit claims Majors subjected Jabbari to “a pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023”.
The suit also alleges that Majors “resorted to very publicly abusing her reputation” and that he had called her “a liar at every turn … with the goal of convincing the world that Grace is not a victim of domestic abuse but instead a crazy liar”. She is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
The civil suit comes nearly one year after Majors was arrested in New York on allegations that he choked, assaulted and harassed Jabbari. He was ultimately convicted of third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. In February, two more women came forward to accuse Majors of physical and emotional abuse.
Majors’ legal team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
