Jonathan Majors Was Controlling And Violent, Grace Jabbari Testifies
Jonathan Majors‘ accuser, Grace Jabbari, testified during their assault trial on Monday (Dec. 4). Business Insider reports that Jabbari shared allegations during her teary opening statement. The woman alleged that the California native was controlling and abusive during their relationship.
Assistant District Attorney Michael Perez claimed that the actor “demanded total compliance” from Jabbari. Perez also alleged that Majors exhibited a “cruel and manipulative pattern of psychological abuse.” If his needs weren’t met, the Ant-Man actor would allegedly become enraged, shouting at Jabbari or flinging objects at her.
CBS New York reports that Jabbari began crying as she recalled a specific incident. She alleged Majors threw “glass candles” at her head when she attempted to console him. Grace claimed he stopped talking to her “for days” because she attended a music festival. Lastly, she revealed that he grew jealous after she mentioned an ex-boyfriend and scolded her.
Additionally, he claimed he wanted Grace to “make sacrifices for him,” much like Coretta Scott King or Former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, claimed that his ex is accusing him of domestic violence and harassment because he ended their relationship. Additionally, Chaudhry says racism was the basis for Majors’ detainment back in March.
Both sides then recalled the domestic assault that allegedly transpired in March. Grace accused Majors of striking her in the back of a vehicle. She also stated that she attempted to grab his phone after seeing a text from another woman that read, “Wish I was kissing you right now.”
The prosecution claims Majors tried to recover his phone, which led to violence. The actor allegedly attacked her in the process, twisted her right arm, hit her in the ear, and fractured her finger. On the contrary, Majors’ team claimed that his ex was the one who attacked him. They insisted that she was experiencing an “emotional crisis” and Majors was defending himself.
Chaudhry then claimed that she has video evidence containing “irrefutable evidence that the woman is lying, including video proof showing nothing happened, especially not where she claimed.”
Chaudhry and the defense also argued that Jabbari had no real signs of injury. They also claimed Grace spent the next few hours partying at a club, showing no visible injuries.
Jonathan Majors’ attorney is set to cross-examine Jabbari on Wednesday morning (Dec. 6). The trial is scheduled to last two weeks. If convicted, Majors will spend a year in prison.
