Jonathan Majors’ former partner has ended her assault and defamation lawsuit against the rising star of Hollywood after reaching a settlement.
Attorneys representing both Majors and Grace Jabbari submitted a joint request to dismiss the case with prejudice in Manhattan federal court.
On Friday, Jabbari’s lawyer announced that the lawsuit was “favorably settled,” although specific details were not disclosed.
Attorney Brittany Henderson expressed her admiration for Jabbari, stating, “Grace Jabbari has exhibited tremendous courage throughout this very long and difficult process. We hope that she can finally put this chapter behind her and move forward with her head held high.”
Majors’ representatives did not reply to requests for comments made on Friday.
In her lawsuit, which was filed in March, Jabbari accused the 35-year-old actor, known for his roles in Marvel films and “Creed III,” of subjecting her to a pattern of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship. Her claims included allegations of assault, battery, defamation, and emotional distress.
The legal action came several months after Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment stemming from an incident in Manhattan. According to Jabbari, during an altercation that began in the backseat of a chauffeured vehicle and continued onto the street, Majors struck her on the head with an open hand, twisted her arm behind her back, and fractured her middle finger.
Majors refuted these accusations, insisting that Jabbari was the one who became violently jealous and that he was merely trying to recover his phone and extricate himself from a dangerous situation.
Although he avoided a jail sentence, a judge demanded that Majors complete a year-long counseling program following his guilty verdict.
As a consequence of the conviction, Majors was dropped by Marvel Studios, which had cast him in the role of Kang the Conqueror—expected to be a central antagonist within the franchise’s future releases.
The couple initially met in 2021 while working on the set of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” where Majors was cast as Kang, and Jabbari served as a movement coach.
Recently, Majors has begun to make a gradual comeback in Hollywood. His long-delayed film “Magazine Dreams” was secured for a theatrical release last month.
This drama, which focuses on bodybuilding, had been generating early Oscar buzz for Majors but faced withdrawal from its distributors after his conviction last December.
Additionally, just earlier this month, Majors and actress Meagan Good announced their engagement during the Ebony Power 100 Gala held in Los Angeles.
