In news that can only be described as โI know you lying,โ Jonathan Majors was dealt yet another win...but this one just might surprise you.
Suggested Reading
We already told you how he shocked the internet earlier this week when it was revealed that he and girlfriend Meagan Good were engaged after over a year of dating. The news that the two were romantically linked came amid the โCreed IIIโ actorโs infamous domestic dispute trial involving his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in which he was later convicted of third degree reckless assault and harassment back in Dec. 2023.
Three months later, Jabbari filed a civil suit against the actor over allegations of malicious prosecution, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault and battery. She was seeking compensatory damages and punitive damages.
Now, in a interesting turn of events announced on Thursday (Nov. 21), Jabbari and Majors have settled the aforementioned suit against Majors, as evidenced in new court documents obtained by PEOPLE. While a specific reason wasnโt given for this decision, what we do know is that Jabbari filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice, meaning she canโt sue the Marvel star again on this matter.
โAll claims against Defendant in the above-captioned action are hereby dismissed with prejudice,โ the documents read in part.
In a statement from Jabbariโs lawyers sent to The Root on Friday, they said:
โThis case, like most, ended in a settlement. We are happy to announce that the lawsuit Grace filed was successfully settled. It took tremendous courage for Grace to pursue this case. We are happy to have helped her close this chapter favorably so that she can move forward and begin to finally heal.โ
While the stipulation ofย dismissal doesnโt take away from the actors reckless assault conviction, it does mark an end to an otherwise tumultuous year for Majors whoโs seen a sharp decline in his previously rising career in Hollywood. Will this mean heโll be welcomed back in the industry and in the publicโs good graces swiftly and with open arms? Only time will tell.
Once the news of the suitโs dismissal hit the internet, many expressed joy and frustration:
โI need the Jonathan Majors apologies as loud as the disrespect was!!!โ wrote on user on X/Twitter.
โWe need Grace Jabbari to apologize to Jonathan Majors.....publicly,โ said another.
โPlease remember that Jonathan Majors has a rep going back to Yale Drama, regardless of recent news. This wasnโt an isolated incident, even if it was complicated to prove in court. Heโs not โoffโ any hook,โ another wrote.
โDropping a defamation lawsuit and BEING CONVICTED OF 3RD DEGREE ASSAULT are two very very different things. yet men and pick-mes are running with the lies that we โneed to apologizeโ to jonathan majors. he tanked his own career by having a history of being violent,โ said another user.
