This comes as Majors has landed in a more difficult legal situation following a lawsuit filed by his ex Grace Jabbari.
Majors was convicted of two counts of harassment and assault against Grace Jabbari in connection with their March 2023 altercation that took place in the back of an SUV.

On Tuesday, Jabbari, a British dancer, filed a civil suit saying she is now seeking damages for injuries she suffered in the incident and alleged Majors committed “emotional distress intentional” against her.
He was acquitted of two other charges of assault and aggravated harassment after Jabbari, 30, said she suffered “excruciating” pain when the Marvel movie star punched her in the head and Broke his finger in the car after seeing a flirty text message from another. woman on her phone this year.
In the complaint, Jabbari also alleged that her ex-boyfriend “knowingly made false statements” about her during a January interview with ABC News, his first since his conviction.
“Put simply, Majors’ defense to Grace’s descriptions of the numerous acts of violence Majors perpetrated against her was to brazenly defame her and call her a liar on all allegations,” the complaint states.
“The defendant intended to broadcast his false and defamatory statements throughout the world.”
The complaint then alleged malicious prosecution by the actor after he filed a complaint against her and said he was the one who was assaulted during the altercation.
In October 2023, Jabbari was arrested in New York on misdemeanor charges of assault and criminal mischief, but the Manhattan district attorney’s office did not prosecute her because the case lacked prosecutorial merit.

Majors was found guilty of two counts of harassment and assault against Grace in connection with their March 2023 altercation that took place in the back of an SUV.
In the complaint, Jabbari alleged that her ex-boyfriend “knowingly made false statements” about her during the interview that aired on January 8.
Brittany Henderson, Jabbari’s attorney said ABC News: “It takes real courage to hold someone with that level of power and acclaim accountable. Courage that Grace Jabbari demonstrated at every stage of the legal process.
“We firmly believe that through this action, truth and transparency will bring Grace the justice she deserves.”
During the trial, jurors were tasked with considering conflicting accounts about whether Majors was the aggressor or the victim during the chaotic SUV struggle with Jabbari in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on March 25.

Within days, they reached a guilty verdict for assault recklessly causing bodily harm – but not for assault with intent to cause bodily harm.
Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, argued that the mix of guilty and not guilty verdicts meant jurors did not fully “believe” Jabbari’s account and that Majors still hoped to clear his name.
“It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s account of what happened in the SUV, as they concluded that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause her any injury. We are grateful for that,” she declared.
“We are disappointed, however, that although they did not believe Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless concluded that Mr. Majors had been in some way reckless when she attacked him.
‘Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, friends and fans for their love and support during these eight trying months. Mr. Majors remains confident in the process and looks forward to completely clearing his name.
Jabbari broke her silence after the December trial and revealed how she had been helped by a domestic violence charity throughout her ordeal.
For Majors, the convictions could mean up to a year in prison – as well as the ruin of his Hollywood career just as he was about to be nominated for an Oscar for his role in the unreleased film Magazine Dreams.
Centered on a struggling bodybuilder, the film was shelved by Disney in light of the allegations. The entertainment giant must now decide whether to support the majors or scrap the film.
California-born Majors, 34, graduated from Yale with a master’s degree in theater and rose to fame after starring in the 2019 independent feature The Last Black Man in San Francisco.
