Jonathan Majors’ Domestic Assault Trial Delayed
Marvel star Jonathan Majors reported to a Manhatten courthouse today, for what was to be the start of the actor’s domestic violence trial.
Instead, the trial will be delayed until September 6, after the prosecution said it was not ready because it’s still obtaining discovery. Marvel’s defense team alleged that the prosecution had not been “timely” in turning over evidence.
How We Got Here
Majors was initially arrested in Manhattan on March 25 and charged with accounts of assault and aggravated harassment following an alleged domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
At the time of the arrest, Jabbari told officers that she was assaulted. She was also taken to the hospital with “minor injuries to her head and neck”.
Majors has pled not guilty to all four charges levied against him. Meanwhile, defense attorney Priya Chaudhry has asserted that it was Majors who was assaulted and “not the other way around.”
More Alleged Victims Come Forward
In April, Jabbari was granted a temporary order of protection. The order remains in place.
In the time leading up to the trial, additional alleged victims of Majors came forward. Additionally, Majors, who recently starred in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and is set to appear in Loki, was dropped by his PR team and management.
Following Thursday’s court appearance, Chaudhry issued a statement saying Majors is “the real victim in this shameful ordeal.” He “has had his life, career, and reputation torn apart,” she wrote. “Yet he remains unwavering in his determination to be absolved from this harrowing ordeal.”
Despite being dropped by other projects, Marvel fans will see the return of Jonathan Majors when Loki Season 2 lands on Disney+ on October 6. For their part, Marvel and Disney have remained silent on the charges levied against Majors.
