In a surprising turn of events, the woman who accused actor Jonathan Majors of assaulting her during a dispute in March has herself been arrested in New York City. Grace Jabbari, Majors' former girlfriend, was taken into custody on Wednesday night on suspicion of assault and criminal mischief related to the same incident, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Jabbari voluntarily surrendered to police and was subsequently issued a desk appearance ticket to appear in court at a later date. The charges she faces are both misdemeanors. The news of her arrest comes as Majors continues to face his own legal battle.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office, however, has declined to prosecute the case against Jabbari, citing a lack of prosecutorial merit. A spokesperson for the DA's office stated that the matter is now closed and sealed.
In a court filing made on September 21 in the case against Majors, the district attorney's office confirmed that they do not intend to pursue charges against Jabbari. The exact reasons behind their decision have not been disclosed.
Jonathan Majors, who is known for his roles in films such as "Da 5 Bloods" and "The Last Black Man in San Francisco," is facing charges of assault and aggravated harassment in connection with the March 25 incident involving Jabbari. The complaint alleges that Majors struck her "about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear." Majors has vehemently denied the accusations through his attorney.
Surprisingly, Majors has also filed a counter-complaint against Jabbari, claiming that he was assaulted by her during the same March dispute. Court filings obtained by CNN reveal that he made this counter-allegation in June.
Despite a recent motion to dismiss the case against Majors being denied by a New York judge, the arrest of Jabbari raises questions regarding the status of the charges and the ultimate outcome of the legal proceedings. As both parties have made contrasting claims of assault against each other, the details of the incident remain murky.
It is yet to be seen how this newest development will impact the ongoing legal battles between Jonathan Majors and Grace Jabbari, both of whom have experienced significant scrutiny and public attention surrounding these allegations. The court proceedings are expected to shed more light on the conflicting claims and determine the ultimate resolution of the case.
