On Thursday, the ex-girlfriend of Jonathan Majors withdrew a federal lawsuit against him, in which she had accused the former Marvel actor of assault and defamation, according to court records filed in New York.

Tracing the legal timeline in the case

As Blavity reported, the Creed III star was convicted in December 2023 on two counts of misdemeanor assault against Grace Jabbari, who accused him of assaulting her in the back seat of an SUV. In April, he was sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling, avoiding jail time. 

Jabbari then filed a new civil lawsuit against Majors in March, accusing him of battery and assault, which allegedly occurred during their nearly two-year relationship. The Magazine Dreams star maintained his innocence, stating, “My hands have never struck a woman — ever,” in a Good Morning America interview in January.

Variety reported that attorneys for both sides filed a joint notice to the court on Thursday, stating “all claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice.”

How did Jonathan Majors’ legal woes affect his career?

Majors has lost several Hollywood roles since his March 2023 arrest for allegedly assaulting Jabbari. 

Those roles included the Denis Rodman biopic, 48 Hours in Vegas, an upcoming Otis Redding biopic and the adaptation of Walter Mosley’s The Man in My Basement. However, Blavity reported that Kang the Conqueror in future MCU projects was the most significant loss in his career. 

In August, Majors told TMZ he was “heartbroken” over losing the opportunity after MCU fired him and went with veteran actor Robert Downey Jr. to play Dr. Doom in the Marvel film. 

“I think it’s fair that Mr. Downey is being and has been greeted with patience and curiosity and love…and [he’s] being allowed to work [his] art and be creative at that level,” he said. “I didn’t really get that,” Majors told the outlet.
