Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend has dropped her assault and defamation lawsuit against the once-rising Hollywood star after reaching a settlement.
Lawyers for Majors and Grace Jabbari agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice, according to a joint filing in Manhattan federal court Thursday.
Jabbari’s attorney said Friday that the lawsuit had been “favorably resolved” but declined to elaborate.
“Grace Jabbari has shown tremendous courage throughout this very long and difficult process,” attorney Brittany Henderson said in a statement. “We hope she can finally put this chapter behind her and move forward with her head held high.”
Representatives for Majors did not respond to emails seeking comment on Friday.
Jabbari, in her lawsuit filed in March, accused the 35-year-old Marvel and “Creed III” star of subjecting her to escalating incidents of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship, including assault, battery, defamation and infliction emotional distress.
The British dancer filed the suit months after Majors was convicted of assault and harassment in connection with an altercation in Manhattan.
During a fight that started in the backseat of a chauffeured car before spilling onto the street, Jabbari said Majors hit her head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it broke.
Majors claimed that Jabbari had gone into a jealous rage and was the aggressor and that he was just trying to get his phone back and get away safely.
Majors avoided jail time but was ordered by a judge in April to serve a a year-long mentoring program.
Following the guilty verdict, Majors was immediately dropped by Marvel Studios, which had cast him as Kang the Conqueror, a role that would serve as the main villain in the entertainment empire’s films and television shows for years to come.
Majors and Jabbari met in 2021 on the set of Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” in which Majors played Kang and Jabbari served as a movement coach.
Majors has slowly re-emerged on the Hollywood scene in recent weeks.
His feature film “Magazine Dreams” was purchased for theatrical release last month.
The bodybuilder drama had generated early Oscar buzz for Majors, but was dropped by distributors after his conviction last December.
Earlier this month, Majors and fellow actor Meagan Good announced their engagement at the Ebony Power 100 Gala in Los Angeles.
