According to reports by People Magazine dated November 22, 2024, Grace Jabbari, the ex-girlfriend of actor Jonathan Majors, officially dropped her lawsuit against him, expressing her desire to "move forward" and begin healing.

Jabbari’s attorney, Brad Edwards, confirmed the case’s resolution, stating:

"We’re glad this case has been resolved and this chapter is closed so that Grace can now move forward and begin to heal", Brand Edwards said.

Grace Jabbari had originally filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York, alleging that Jonathan Majors engaged in a pattern of domestic abuse from 2021 to 2023.

As per the reports, one of the alleged incidents happened in September 2022 when Jonathan Majors threw her against "the hood of her car" and then took her inside their home.

"(He) started hitting her head against the marble floor while strangling her until she felt she could no longer breathe", the reports said.

Her legal action came months after Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment following an altercation in Manhattan. However, Majors countered the allegations, asserting that Jabbari had been the aggressor in the incident.

Court documents obtained by People Magazine revealed that Jabbari filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice on November 21, 2024. This implied that she would not be able to refile the lawsuit against Jonathan Majors in the future.

Both parties, through their attorneys, agreed that:

"All claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice."

Following his conviction and subsequent firing from his Marvel studio's role as Kang the Conqueror, Jonathan Majors is refocusing on his career, starring in the independent revenge thriller Merciless while attending a domestic violence intervention program.
