Jonathan Majors‘ ongoing trial for alleged assault have been made public. The Marvel actor denies the allegations against him.The newly-released evidence, which was shared in court last week, is between Majors and his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabarri, who accused him of assaulting her in the backseat of a car in March.As reported by Variety, the evidence includes text messages in which Majors threatened to kill himself, and an audio recording of an argument in which the actor told Jabarri that she needed to act more like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama to support his career.The text messages are from September 2022 and centre on a prior incident between Majors and Jabarri when they were a couple.
Majors appears to dissuade Jabarri from going to the hospital after she sustained an injury to her head.“I fear you have no perspective of what could happen if you go to the hospital,” Majors wrote. “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.”Jabbari replied: “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 need some stronger painkillers.
That’s all. Why would I want to tell them what really happened when it’s clear I want to be with you.”Part of Jabbari’s next message was redacted, but she wrote: “I will not go to the doctor if you don’t feel safe with me doing so.
