Us Weekly has reached out to Majors’ representatives for comment.
According to documents seen by Us Weekly, Jabbari sued Majors in March and accused Majors of subjecting her to a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023.”
In her civil lawsuit, Jabbari was seeking damages for the physical injuries she suffered as a result of the 2023 incident. She also claims in court documents that Majors committed “intentional infliction of emotional distress” against her.
Jabbari’s legal team also accused Majors of defamation after he “made knowingly false statements” about his ex-girlfriend during a pre-sentencing interview with ABC News.

In a January 2024 interview featured on Good Morning America, Majors said he was “absolutely shocked and afraid” at the December 2023 verdict and denied causing any of Jabbari’s injuries that resulted in his conviction for assault.
“Put bluntly, Majors’s defense to Grace’s descriptions of the numerous acts of violence Majors perpetrated against her was to brazenly defame her and label her a liar on all claims,” the complaint stated. “Defendant intended his false and defamatory statements to be broadcast around the world.”

We strongly believe that through this action, truth and transparency will bring Grace the justice that she deserves.”
