The Alleged Assault

In September 2022 Jonathan allegedly assaulted Grace but did not want her to seek medical help.  According to text messages between the two that came up during the trial, Jonathan was talking to his girlfriend about a head injury, stating, “I fear you have no perspective of what could happen if you go to the hospital. They will ask you questions, and as I don’t think you protect us, it could lead to an investigation even if you lie and they suspect something.” Grace texted that she could not wait for more than a day and that she needed some strong painkillers as she couldn’t sleep. She said, “ Why would I want to tell them what happened when it’s clear I want to be with you.”

During an incident in March 2023, which also included Majors allegedly threatening suicide, he allegedly assaulted Jabbari in the car and ended their relationship, which led the actress to file charges against him. In June 2023, in a turnaround, Jonathan filed charges against Jabbari for inflicting domestic violence against him. A video also supported his claim that she attacked him in March 2023. Although she was arrested in October, the charges were dropped. Many videos and texts have been released in court during the trial, leading to the verdict. The popular star will now be appearing for sentencing on February 6, 2024.
