Major’s lawyer tried to flip the script, claiming that it was Jabbari who victimized Major by attacking him in the car and then falsely accused him of assault after she broke up with him.
“You are here to end this nightmare, Jonathan Majors,” attorney Priya Chaudhary said through tears during her closing arguments.
The major lodged his complaint against Jabbari, which led to his arrest on assault charges in October. But the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office later closed the case because it “lacked prosecutorial merit.”
Majors, 34, starred in the 2019 film ‘The Last Black Man in San Francisco’ before headlining ‘Creed III’ and appearing in ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’. After Major’s arrest, his management company, public relations firm and several advertisers dropped him.
