The civil complaint for multiple damages listed a series of apparently anger-filled incidents involving the majors near the beginning of the couple’s relationship in 2021 while filming in the United Kingdom. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. In a litany of attacks, “derogatory names,” broken headphones and self-incrimination, the events just hinted at in Majors’ trial last year become graphic:

In July 2022, while Grace and Majors were in Los Angeles, California, Majors became angry with Grace. She became afraid and instinctively tried to calm him down. Majors started yelling in front of Grace and grabbed both of her arms, holding them to her body. He then pushed her into the shower door causing the shower door to open. He then threw her body into the shower wall, causing her to hit her head on the wall.

When Grace tried to escape, things escalated. In an effort to stop the abuse, Grace informed Majors that she would have to inform her team of what he had done to her, at which point, Majors began throwing candles and other objects in a frenzy, breaking the wall and leaving . broken glass on the floor. Majors admitted in his interview with ABC that he “completely lost my temper at that point and threw everything to the ground. It is not something I would want my child to do and I did it.

“When confronted publicly about Grace’s numerous allegations of abuse, Majors called her a liar at every turn and very specifically claimed that he had never laid a hand on a woman in order to convince the world that Grace she is not a victim of domestic acts. abuse, but instead a lunatic liar who should be treated as such,” states today’s filing for defamation, malicious prosecution and several states.

Of course, even though Majors told ABC News in a hearing in January this year that “my hands have never hit a woman,” the texts and tapes were dramatically unsealed in last year’s trial (due in large part to the defense’s overreach). strongly indicate otherwise – as do other women’s subsequent allegations and today’s filing. However, until today, other than Majors begging Jabbari not to go to the hospital after such an attack, we knew very little about the details of those earlier incidents.

“It takes real courage to hold someone with this level of power and hold them accountable,” Jabbari’s attorney, Brittany Henderson, said in a statement today. “The length of time Grace Jabbari has demonstrated at every stage of the legal process. We strongly believe that through this action, truth and transparency will bring Grace the justice she deserves.”
