How We Got Here
Last week, Majors’s ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, testified that the incident began on March 25 when she discovered a text on his phone from another woman saying, “Wish I was kissing you right now.”
Majors forcibly reclaimed the phone from Loki star’s hands, causing bruising, swelling, and “excruciating pain” for Jabbari. She was later diagnosed with a fractured finger and a cut behind her ear, suggestive of impact.

On Monday, Naveed Sarwar, the driver of the vehicle, testified that he heard Majors and Jabbari arguing in the back seat.
According to the chauffeur, Majors opened the car door to try and get rid of Jabbari, saying, “Leave me alone. I want to go. I have to go.”

Sarwar also testified that Majors was “not doing anything; [Jabbari] was doing everything.”
A Verdict Is Near
Now that the two sides have concluded their argument, the fate of Majors will be in the hands of the jury.
If the jury finds the actor guilty, Majors could face up to a year in jail.
