On March 19, 2024, less than a month before Jonathan Majors was sentenced to probation in his domestic violence trial in April, the much-accused former Marvel actor was sued for defamation by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
She has now dropped the federal defamation lawsuit against him. As numerous outlets have been implying, this is not her retracting her claim of assault, as he has already been tried and convicted. She filed this lawsuit as a response to his appearance on Good Morning America following his conviction, saying he’s “never laid a hand on a woman.”
Attorneys for both parties filed a joint notice with the court on Thursday (Nov. 21, 2024), stating that “all claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice.”
The attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Majors was poised for a breakout year in 2023, starring opposite Michael B. Jordan in Creed III and as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. However, his arrest in March 2023 led to him being dropped by his management and PR firms. Marvel cut ties with him after the guilty verdict.
The actor was supposed to lead as the villain of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but that film has since been scrapped. Marvel pivoted to Avengers: Doomsday, starring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom.
Majors was cast in Merciless, a thriller by director Martin Villeneuve earlier this year, which was the first sign of a career recovery. Another Majors film, Magazine Dreams, was acquired for release next year by Briarcliff Entertainment after Searchlight Pictures dropped it.
Despite being convicted, Majors has repeatedly denied the assault allegations and maintained a desire to resume his career in Hollywood.
