After accusing Majors of assault and defamation, Grace Jabbari dropped the federal lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend on Thursday, Nov. 21.
In Dec. 2023, the former Marvel Cinematic Universe star was convicted of two misdemeanor counts for assaulting Jabbari in the back seat of a rideshare vehicle. Majors was found guilty on two misdemeanor charges: assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree, for which he was sentenced to 52 weeks of a domestic violence intervention program and probation.
Throughout the trial, the Creed III star maintained his innocence. In March, Jabbari sued her ex, alleging that he defamed her by continuing to maintain that he had “never laid [his] hands on a woman” after the guilty verdict in an interview with Good Morning America.
Jabbari sued Majors in federal court, alleging defamation, malicious prosecution, assault, and battery. In the court papers, she alleges that her ex-boyfriend physically abused her many other times throughout their nearly two-year relationship, the first time being in July 2022.
She goes on to allege that since the actor was convicted in December, he continually attacked her reputation.
“When publicly confronted with Grace’s numerous allegations of abuse, Majors has called her a liar at every turn,” the complaint reads, according to NBC News. The suit went on to say that Majors was doing his best to “convinc[e] the world that Grace is not a victim of domestic abuse but instead a crazy liar.”
In response to the lawsuit, Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, told the outlet that they were anticipating the filing.
“This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari,” Chaudhry reportedly said in an email at the time.
On Thursday, attorneys for both parties filed a joint notice with the court stating that “all claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice,” according to reports from Variety.
