Actor Johnathan Majors is being sued by his former partner Grace Jabbari for accusations of assault and defamation.

In a recent turn of events, popular actor Jonathan Majors is facing a legal battle with his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. She has filed a federal lawsuit against him in New York, citing charges of defamation and assault. This comes after Majors was previously found guilty by a jury a few months ago.

Jabbari's lawsuit, which was filed on March 19, lists a number of serious allegations, including battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and malicious prosecution and defamation. She has also detailed instances of domestic abuse that she allegedly experienced during their long-term relationship.

According to BBC News, Jabbari claims that Majors physically attacked her in September of 2022. She also revealed that when she tried to speak out about the abuse, Majors became even more angry with her. "Soon after, Grace disclosed the physical abuse to a member of Jonathan's management team in an effort to get him help. Majors was furious when he learned that Grace had outed him as an abuser," the lawsuit stated.

In addition to physical abuse, Jabbari also alleges that Majors subjected her to verbal abuse and intense anger. The lawsuit also addresses the issue of defamation, claiming that Majors continued to vilify her even after his conviction in December. "When publicly confronted with Grace's numerous allegations of abuse, Majors has called her a liar at every turn and very specifically claimed that he has never put his hands on a woman, with the goal of convincing the world that Grace is not a victim of domestic abuse but instead a crazy liar who should be treated as such," the lawsuit stated.

However, Majors' defense team is not surprised by Jabbari's legal action. In response to NBC News, Majors' lawyer Priya Chaudry said, "This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari."

It is worth noting that Jabbari's lawsuit is not the only abuse allegation Majors is currently facing. He is also dealing with two other similar allegations from past partners. Despite this, Majors has maintained his innocence in regards to Jabbari's claims, even speaking out about his confusion on the outcome of the previous trial in an interview with ABC News in January.

"I'm standing there and the verdict comes down. I say... 'How is that possible?' Based off the evidence, based off the prosecution's evidence, let alone our evidence, how is that possible?" Majors stated. He was found guilty of harassment and misdemeanor assault in the jury trial and is expected to be sentenced on April 8.

In other news, Majors was recently replaced by Corey Hawkins in the upcoming film "The Man In My Basement." It remains to be seen how this legal battle will affect his career and public image.
