Grace Jabbari left court in New York City Tuesday after recounting in public the ‘excruciating assault’ she alleges she suffered at the hands of Marvel star Jonathan Majors.
Jabbari, a 30-year-old British-born choreographer, testified at Manhattan Criminal Court Tuesday- saying that the star ‘wanted me to feel pain’ on the second day of his trial.
Jonathan Majors’ updates
Majors looked unsettled as his ex-girlfriend described the alleged ‘excruciating’ assault she went through.
The actor has denied charges of assault with intent to cause physical injury, assault recklessly causing physical injury, aggravated harassment and harassment.
The allegations have stalled the career of Majors, 34, who plays the evil Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel films and also appears in Creed 3.
He was dropped by his manager – and his latest film about a bodybuilder, which stunned audiences at this year’s Sundance film festival, was tipped for an Oscar but has now been put on hold.
Majors playing home front
His girlfriend Meagan Good and her mother sat in the front row of the public gallery – Majors kissed them both before the hearing began.
On the opposite side of the public gallery sat three of Jabbari’s family members.
Majors appeared to be unsettled as Jabbari recounted the ‘excruciating’ assault to the jury that felt as if ‘he wanted me to feel pain’.
Majors veered between incredulous and wounded with a furrowed brow. At times he looked away indignantly and rubbed his eyes, and looked back at his girlfriend Meagan Good in the public gallery for support.
Good shook her head as videos showed Majors running away from Jabbari after the alleged attack.
