As Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence case continues, the Judge overseeing the proceedings has blown the details of the situation wide open for the world to see by ordering that various pieces of evidence submitted as part of the Marvel star’s ongoing trial – including surveillance video from the alleged altercation as the center of the case and audio records send to his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in the aftermath – be fully released to the public.
Fully intent on releasing all materials the to the public following the conclusion of the trial, in light of its stretching into a second full week of litigation, New York City judge Michael Gaffey ordered that a partial release of the evidence occur on December 13th.
As part of this evidence release, the public has now been given their first actual look at the supposed backseat altercation at the heart of Majors’ case, courtesy of a street surveillance video which happened to record the incident.
Recorded on March 25th at roughly 12:41 AM EST, the four-minute video begins with two vehicles pulling up and stopping at a stop light, the left one containing Majors and Jabbari.
After being stopped for roughly thirty seconds (though cut for length, the video’s timestamp confirms the amount of time that has passed), the pair can be seen having exited the vehicle at the stop light at which time Majors attempts – but fails – to physically put Jabbari back in the car.
Roughly thirty-seconds later, Jabbari can be seen exiting the vehicle once again, at which time the pair begin to hold hands as they make their way towards the neighboring sidewalk.
However, after a brief exchange of words, Majors appears to make an attempt at fleeing from Jabbari’s presence, pulling himself lose from her hands before proceeding to run down several Chinatown streets, to which his ex-girlfriend responds by giving chase.
At one point during this chase, Jabbari encounters a group of individuals leaving a nearby building, all of whom take notice of her panicked state and proceed to reach out to her.
But before anything can be done, Majors reappears walking past the group back towards his original destination, at which time Jabbari bids farewell to the group of good samaritans and resumes her attempt speak to the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania actor.
Notably, the pair’s driver at the time, Naveed Sarwar, testified on Monday that during the alleged incident, “Many things were happening, I had the feeling the girl had hit the boy.”
“He was trying to get rid of her,” said Sarwar, speaking in his native tongue through an Urdu translator. “He was saying, ‘Leave me alone, I have to go.'”
“He was not doing anything” added the driver. “She was doing everything.”
A second video was also released. Taken via police bodycam upon their response to the 911 call made from Majors’ apartment that same morning and showing Jabbari supposedly lying drunk within his bathroom closet.
The release materials also included an apparent audio recording, taken by Jabbari during an incident which occurred six months prior to the actor’s March 2023 domestic assault arrest, in which Majors can be heard not only belittling her, but also demanding she support him because he is “a great man”.
“How dare you come home drunk and disturb the peace of our house when we have a plan,” a voice alleged to belong to Majors can be heard on the recording. “I would like to get – I would like to get to the point where your friends know what job I’m on and go ‘I think Grace is going to be out of commission’ you, know what I mean?”
Met with a stuttered “Yeah, I, I won’t” from Jabbari, Majors continued, “No, no. Do you undersand that? because that team, that unit, right? Grace has to be in a certain mindset to support – Corretta Scott King. You know who that is? That’s Martin Luther King [Jr.]’s wife. Michelle Obama. Barack Obama’s wife.”
Again admitting, “I know, I’m, not, I, I, I should’ve have gone out I’m sorry,” Jabbari is then met by the declaration from Majors, “No, no. Let me just lay it out for you, right? If I am – I’m just going to say this – My temper? My s–t? My trouble? Blah blah blah? All that said, I’m a great man.”
“A great man,” he added, emphasis his. “I am doing great things, not just for me, for my culture, and for the world. That is actually the position I am in. That’s real. I’m not being a dick about it. I didn’t ask for it. I worked and that’s the situation. The woman that supports me, that I support, needs to be a great woman and make sacrifices the way that man is making [sacrifices] for her and for them, ultimately.”
“Last night, two nights ago, you did not do that,” he then asserts, to which Jabbari once again apologizes. “Which took away from the plan, and the plan is everything. If it was just you in the house drunk, maybe I could have swallowed it. Or I wouldn’t have blown up, I would’ve been like ‘Baby, let’s just go to bed.’ Which I said, ‘I’m just going to go to bed, I’m not hungry.’ ‘Cuz Grace isn’t here. Why? She was drunk. Why else? She was clogged by whatever was going on. Fine. I can take that.”
Finally, Judge Gaffey’s order also saw the release of the previously-reported-on text messages sent between the pair in which Majors purportedly not only admitted to previously abusing Jabbari, but also attempted to dissuade her from going to the police with threats of suicide.
As of December 13th, the case of Jonathan Majors has seen the prosecution rest its argument and the defense begin calling its witnesses.
Facing three misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment, should Majors receive a guilty verdict, the man who would be Kang faces up to a year in prison.
