Wrap that shit up. And hit the NYPD up for a bag while you're at it.
I ain't read none of that shit but I wholeheartedly agree with this post
 




A 'racist' arrest

Chaudhry continued in the letter that Jabbari had said "'I don't know' nineteen times" when asked by arriving medics and cops how she was injured, citing police body-worn-camera footage taken at the penthouse and turned over to the defense by prosecutors.

The letter alleges that the NYPD footage showed the lead officer "coaching Ms. Jabbari to accuse Mr. Majors of assault."

She said in the letter that the arrest was "racist" and showed the officers questioning among themselves how Majors — who they didn't recognize as a famous actor — could afford to live in a luxe penthouse.

Chaudhry told Insider that all six of the responding officers were white.

"Even though Ms. Jabbari admitted to drinking to the point of throwing up, taking sleeping pills, and having no idea how she woke up in a closet with a cut on her head and injured finger, the police jumped to the conclusion that Mr. Majors (the young, tall, strong, rich Black man) must have 'done this' to Ms. Jabbari," Chaudhry's letter alleged, citing the NYPD footage.

Prosecutors charged Majors with six counts of assaulting and three counts of harassing Jabbari, a London-based movement coach who had worked alongside Majors on the set of this year's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."

The NYPD did not respond to a request for comment. The Manhattan district attorney's office declined to comment. Efforts to reach Jabbari by email and social media were not successful.


The break-up text​

Shortly after 3 a.m., club surveillance footage shows Jabbari standing near the hostess stand. Chaudhry said this was the moment she saw Majors' break-up text on her phone.

The lawyer alleged that Jabbari soon left the club and grabbed a taxi with Majors' card. Surveillance footage shows her arriving at Majors' address at 3:23 a.m.

As she rode up to Majors' triplex penthouse on the 17th, 18th, and 19th floor of a luxury, lower Manhattan apartment building, the elevator surveillance camera recorded a clear image of her right hand, to which there continues to be no apparent injury, Chaudhry said in the April 8 letter.

Jabbari's phone went silent at 7:45 a.m. She had called Majors 32 times since they parted ways at midnight, and had sent him a series of "angry, jealous text messages" accusing him of infidelity and begging him to call her, Chaudhry alleged in the letter.

Hours later, Majors, still in his Upper East Side hotel room, began scrolling through Jabbari's barrage of calls and texts. What he saw chilled him to the bone, Chaudhry told Insider, and he came rushing home.

Majors' attorney said his arrest could make Black men afraid to call 911​

NYPD body-camera footage captured Majors telling the cops who had arrived at his penthouse that he had not struck or injured Jabbari, and that she, instead, had gouged his own chin and arm with her fingernails as they fought on the street the night before, ripping his $1,000 coat, Chaudhry said.

"They did not investigate, pursue or care," even after he showed them the damage to his face, arm and coat, Chaudhry wrote in the letter to the judge.

Why did officers instead believe Jabbari, who at first could not even remember what had happened?

Racism, Chaudhry alleges.

Chaudhry said the footage showed the officers "walking around and looking out the windows, at the view" from the 17th, 18th, and 19th floors while "making impressed faces and mumbling to each other."

"Because the cameras are worn on the officers' chests, the video shows where they go, what they are looking at, and how long they look at it," she said.

"There is also some commentary by all the officers about how this is a three-level penthouse, clearly showing amazement at the unique size of the place."

"Majors saved her life by calling 911, and they have falsely charged him with a crime," Chaudhry told Insider.

Chaudhry wrote in court documents that officials had "refuse to prosecute" Jabbari on suspicion of assaulting Majors or in connection to the Rolex watches and diamond jewelry Jabbari is accused of taking from the apartment.

"Meanwhile they refuse to prosecute her" for allegedly assaulting him, or for Rolex watches and diamond jewelry, she alleged in court documents that Jabbari took from the apartment.

"It is heartbreaking that in 2023, a Black man should still be afraid to dial 911, even to save a life," the lawyer said.

"The sad truth of this story is that if you are Black man and there is a white woman who needs medical help, you should think twice about calling 911 because chances are, you will be blamed and arrested."

"And everyone—despite proof of the Black man's innocence—will assume he did it," she said. "And no one — despite proof of the white woman's crimes — will prosecute her."

Marvel's Jonathan Majors files cross-complaint against his assault accuser. NYPD finds probable cause for arrest, sources say.​


Marvel's Jonathan Majors has filed an NYPD domestic violence complaint against his assault accuser and ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, in which he alleges that she attacked him, not the other way around, during a March 25 dispute on a Chinatown street corner.

Majors remains charged in that dispute, with Jabbari alleging the "Creed III" and Marvel's Kang the Conqueror actor broke her finger, twisted her arm, and struck her in the ear, causing it to bleed. Majors has denied the accusations. An August 3 trial date has been set in Jabbari's case against Majors.

But on June 21, the day after his last court date, Majors walked into the Chinatown precinct and gave police his own version of what actually happened that night — alleging that a "drunk and hysterical" Jabbari scratched, slapped, and grabbed at his face, causing pain and bleeding, according to a domestic incident report and sworn affidavit obtained by Insider.

A second NYPD precinct — the one that covers Majors' penthouse address in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood — is also involved in investigating the actor's counter-claims against Jabbari, which Insider wrote about in detail last week.

Both precincts found probable cause to arrest Jabbari, and issued what is called an "incident card," or "I-Card," an electronic document that directs police to take Jabbari into custody, at least for questioning, according to Majors' defense attorney Priya Chaudhry and a law enforcement source.

But Manhattan prosecutors, who are pursuing the case against Majors, were for some reason reluctant to turn the tables on Jabbari, and at the district attorney's office's urging, the "I-Card" was de-activated, the two said.

The DA's office has repeatedly pushed back against investigating or charging Jabbari, despite supporting evidence that includes surveillance camera footage of the street dispute and photos of Majors' injuries, Chaudhry told Insider for last week's story. Chaudhry shared some of that evidence with Insider for that story.

The DA's office declined comment and the NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Jabbari could not be reached by email or phone.

Chaudhry declined to comment beyond confirming that an I-Card was issued and deactivated.

A history of alleged attacks​

Majors, 33, and Jabbari, 30, a London-based movement coach, worked together on the set of this year's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."

He is now dating actress Meagan Good, who was at his side at last week's court appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court.

Marvel actor Jonathan Majors leaves Manhattan Criminal Court on June 20, 2023 after a judge sets an August 3 trial date on his misdemeanor domestic assault case involving a previous girlfriend.

In his domestic incident report, Majors alleges that Jabbari had attacked him on prior occasions, though none were reported, including a "verbal dispute in London that became physical," as his report to police describes it.

NYPD detectives also asked Majors, who has a 10-year-old daughter from a past marriage, a series of yes/no questions. In the "Prior History" section of the domestic incident report, police checked the "yes" box next to these questions:

"Is suspect capable of killing you or children?"

"Is suspect violently and constantly jealous of you?"

And, "Has the physical violence increased in frequency or severity over the past 6 months?"

Majors has denied causing any of the injuries he was arrested over and has insisted through his lawyer that he was not violent to Jabbari, who he alleges became violent while accusing him of getting texts from another woman.

On the incident report, Majors says he did pull away from Jabbari as she grabbed for his face, coat, and phone. At another point, he admits that when their fight spilled out into traffic, he hoisted her back into their chauffeured black Cadillac Escalade.

"I was worried she would be hurt by traffic. So I physically picked her up and put her in the car," the incident report reads.

Majors describes his own injuries in detail. "In the morning, my face was stuck to the pillow because of the blood from the cut from Jabbari digging her thumbnail into my face," the incident report reads.

Majors, additionally, accuses Jabbari of running up his credit card without his authorization, returning to London with his iPhone, "a Rolex vintage watch and other luxury items that cost $6,000 - $7,000," according to the incident report.

The actor is not due back in court on Jabbari's case until his August 3 trial date.

The fast-rising star has scored major roles in this year's "Creed III" and "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania," in which he debuted as supervillain Kang the Conqueror.

But after his arrest, the US Army pulled TV commercials in which had starred; Disney last month postponed his upcoming Marvel film, "Avengers: Kang Dynasty" from May 2025 to May 2026.

Maybe or the prosecutor was afraid being painted as soft on domestic abuse if the case wasn't pursued.


Yeah but I thought the process was get all the facts 1st, AND THEN decide to prosecute.

From what been coming out...they ignored all that. Even despite the evidence contradicting what was originally put out there.

Well, after years of watching Law & Order, in my expert opinion, what's supposed to happen doesn't always happen. Sometimes prosecutors bow to public pressure.

From what's been said the facts they were given is what's being contested. But that's the point of a trial...to see if the facts actually hold up to the accusation.
