    Jonathan Majors' ex-girlfriend has dropped her lawsuit against him

    The 'Creed III' actor was sued by Grace Jabbari for assault and defamation in March this year, three months after he was found guilty of misdemeanour assault against her, but she has now filed documents to dismiss the civil case with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled


    According to court documents filed on Thursday (21.11.24) and obtained by TMZ, Grace filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice.

    She and Jonathan agreed, via their respective legal teams, that "all claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice."

    In her lawsuit, the dancer had accused the 35-year-old actor of having shown a "pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023."

    Grace alleged her then-partner had thrown her up against the hood of her car before bringing her inside their home, where he "started hitting her head against the marble floor while strangling her until she felt she could no longer breathe" the day after an argument in September 2022.

    She continued: "After the incident, Majors texted Grace asking her not to tell anyone about what had occurred. Ignoring the pain that her body was in as a result of the violence that he inflicted against her, Majors expressed concern over his career."

    She alleged she was defamed "following his conviction and prior to sentencing" when the 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantomania' star "participated in an exclusive interview with ABC News wherein he doubled down on his public attack of Grace, claiming that she is lying about the entire pattern of abuse she has described, as he has 'never laid [his] hands on a woman.' "

    Last December, Majors was found guilty of misdemeanour assault in the third degree, recklessly causing physical injury, as well as harassment in the second degree, with the charges connected to an alleged fight between the both of them in March 2023.

    In the same case, he was found not guilty of misdemeanour assault in the third degree with intent to cause physical injury and misdemeanour aggravated harassment in the second degree.

    He was sentenced to a year of domestic violence counselling, as well as probation.
