Jonathan Majors ex Grace Jabbari may be arrested for being the aggressor despite accusing him of assault
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a dramatic turn of events, actor Jonathan Majors has come out victorious in the allegations made against him by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The 'Creed III' star faced a tumultuous situation when he was arrested on March 25 by the New York Police Department following an incident in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood. However, representatives for Majors maintained his innocence from the outset, and now, it seems their efforts have paid off.
His lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, confidently asserted that Majors was, in fact, the victim in this case. "Within hours of viewing the evidence, and conducting their own thorough investigation, the NYPD found probable cause to arrest Grace Jabbari for assaulting Jonathan Majors. Considering this development, we extend our gratitude to the NYPD detectives for their efforts," Chaudhry stated.

Majors himself presented evidence to the authorities, claiming that Jabbari attacked him on a street corner in Chinatown on that fateful night. According to him, Jabbari's actions were fueled by intoxication and hysteria, resulting in scratches and slaps to his face. Both the Chinatown and Manhattan precincts found probable cause to investigate Jabbari, further bolstering Majors' case.
The alleged incident garnered significant attention online, leaving many wondering about its impact on the 33-year-old actor's flourishing career. The repercussions were felt swiftly, with the US Army pulling two adverts featuring Majors from the air, which were set to premiere during 'March Madness' college basketball games. Additionally, Majors stepped down from his positions on the boards of the Gotham Film and Media Institute and the Sidney Poitier Initiative. Furthermore, his publicists, the Lede Company, and management company Entertainment 360 announced that they were parting ways with the Marvel star.
