Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend testified Wednesday that she did not want to involve the police after he allegedly assaulted her in March, and that she regretted getting him in trouble. On her second day on the witness stand, Grace Jabbari, 30, tearfully spoke about the aftermath of the incident that resulted in Majors’ arrest. She told jurors that Majors had previously warned her about trusting the police because of “what they would do to him as a Black man.” “I didn’t want to put him in that situation,” she said.
It was Majors, not Jabbari, who called the police the next morning. His defense attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said in her opening statement that Majors did so out of concern for Jabbari’s mental state. Majors had spent the prior night in a hotel and returned to their Chelsea residence to find Jabbari asleep on the floor.
Jabbari testified that she woke up to “loads of officers,” and was hesitant but eventually told officers that she had sustained injuries from Majors. She recalled feeling anxious after he was arrested. “I felt like it was my fault,” she said.
“I should have lied and said nothing happened so he wouldn’t be in trouble or upset with me. I wanted to fix it.” Majors, a star of “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” is on trial for three misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment. He could face up to a year in prison if convicted.
