Jonathan Majors’ Recollection of the Day
Majors was accused of assaulting Grace Jabbari, but it was allegedly unintentional. Jonathan believes one of his mistakes was picking Jabbari up and putting her in the car, as per the videos. Another mistake he made was to ensure she stayed in the car. His ex-girlfriend testified that Majors twisted her hand in the back after she saw an intimate text on his phone. There were also photos of injuries sustained by her in the alleged conflict.

Jonathan Majors further added, “She went to grab the phone. I held the phone. I pulled the phone back. She came on top of me, squeezed my face, slapped me. That’s all I remember.” According to Majors, he has no idea how she got those injuries, and he even wishes to know their origin to get some clarity. The 34-year-old actor insisted that he had never struck a woman ever.
