Jonathan Majors Trial Enters Second Week as More Witnesses Testify
The trial for Jonathan Majors’ alleged assault entered its second week this Monday, with additional witnesses taking the stand. Majors’ ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, claims that he assaulted her in the backseat of a car on March 25.
During her testimony last week, Jabbari stated that she discovered a text message on Majors’ phone from another woman expressing a desire to kiss him. When she attempted to investigate, Majors forcefully retrieved the phone, resulting in bruising, swelling, and “excruciating” pain for Jabbari. She suffered a swollen finger and a cut behind her ear as a result.

Following the car incident, Jabbari left the vehicle and encountered three unfamiliar individuals on the street. She shared the details of the altercation with Majors, and they provided comfort and support to her outdoors.
In court on Monday, Chloe Zoller and Max Manning, two of the individuals Jabbari encountered on the street, provided testimony. Zoller mentioned that Jabbari appeared “visibly upset” outside, and initially, she didn’t observe any injuries on Jabbari. Upon entering the club, Zoller recounted that Jabbari later expressed discomfort with her finger. In response, Zoller offered her some ice from a drink bucket on their table to alleviate the pain.
Naveed Sarwar, the chauffeur of the car in which Majors and Jabbari drove, provided testimony with the assistance of an interpreter. He mentioned that the couple appeared “fine” earlier in the day, but things changed when Jabbari saw the text message on Majors’ phone in the evening. Sarwar testified that Jabbari got “angry,” leading to an argument between her and Majors.
Sarwar said, “I was feeling something was going on in the backseat. When I reached Canal and Centre Street, [Majors] wanted to get rid of [Jabbari] and he opened the door…I saw they were fighting when the car stopped. He was trying to get rid of her.”

The prosecution presented video footage from security and traffic cameras, revealing the altercation between Majors and Jabbari, their departure from Sarwar’s car, and Jabbari encountering the three individuals on the street.
Attorney Priya Chaudhry, representing Majors, has claimed that it was Jabbari who assaulted Majors in the vehicle that night, not the other way around. Sarwar testified that he initially thought Jabbari might have struck Majors during their argument in the backseat, but the judge reminded him to only describe what he personally witnessed.
The defense has contended that Jabbari invented the accusations as a means of retaliation against Majors following their breakup. They initially met in August 2021 on the London set of Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and were in a relationship for two years before Majors terminated it on the night of the purported assault.
Majors is currently facing trial for three misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment, and he has entered a plea of not guilty. If found guilty, he could potentially be sentenced to up to a year in prison. Check back for updates on this trial and its impact on the MCU moving forward.
