Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend drops assault and defamation suit against actor

Settlement was reached in case against once-rising but now embattled former Marvel star

Lawyers for Majors and Grace Jabbari agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice, according to a joint filing in Manhattan federal court on Thursday. Jabbari, in her lawsuit filed in March, accused the 35-year-old Marvel and Creed III star of subjecting her to escalating incidents of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship, including assault, battery, defamation and infliction of emotional distress. After the guilty verdict, Majors was immediately dropped by Marvel Studios, which had cast him as Kang the Conqueror, a role envisioned as the main villain in the entertainment empire’s movies and television shows for years to come.
