The 34-year-old actor, best known for <em>Creed<\/em> and <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp,<\/em> is currently facing misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment stemming from an <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jonathan-majors-arrested-3ccf23bb407f5e6d2441ccc536b254f2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">alleged domestic dispute<\/a>, which led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2023\/03\/jonathan-majors-arrested-in-nyc-on-assault-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his arrest<\/a> on March 25. Majors has pleaded not guilty to the four charges against him; a fifth charge of strangulation was dropped.<\/p>\n<p>The filing, obtained by outlets including <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/10\/jonathan-majors-domestic-violence-trial-uk-police-report-1235581808\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deadline<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2023\/film\/news\/jonathan-majors-criminal-case-new-details-police-incident-london-1235766520\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Variety<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em> reportedly references a London Metropolitan Police report from September 2022. While the outlets say it\u2019s unclear what the report contains, the filing mentions medical care obtained by the alleged victim, <strong>Grace Jabbari,<\/strong> who is believed to be Majors\u2019s former romantic partner. At that time, Majors was in London filming season two of the Disney+ Marvel series, <em>Loki.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Documents also allege that Majors\u2019s legal team, led by criminal defense lawyer <strong>Priya Chaudhry,<\/strong> has misrepresented court evidence, including attempting to have police create a wanted poster with the alleged victim\u2019s image. The Manhattan DA office and Majors\u2019s attorneys declined comment to <em>Variety,<\/em> and Chaudhry did not immediately respond to <em>VF<\/em>\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">In a statement previously given to <em>VF,<\/em> Chaudhry said that \u201cMajors is completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.\u201d The DA questions this framing in the documents, as reported by <em>Variety,<\/em> and refutes that there are any plans to prosecute the alleged victim for domestic violence alleged by Majors in a counterclaim, despite recent media reports to the contrary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Chaudhry has also maintained that surveillance video shows the defendant \u201ccompletely unharmed\u201d after the alleged altercation. The prosecution\u2019s latest filing disputes this account, saying the \u201csurveillance video referred to by the defense actually shows Ms. Jabbari visibly upset, crying, and seeking help from strangers to get an Uber cab home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Majors\u2019s legal team is next set to appear in court on Wednesday for another hearing where the judge could rule whether to dismiss the case or proceed to trial.
