Jabbari, in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in New York federal court, brings claims for battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation, which arises from Majors denying that he abused the professional dancer and movement coach leading up to and after his conviction. She accuses Majors of subjecting her to a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023,” detailing several instances of alleged physical violence.

In a statement, Priya Chaudhry, a lawyer for the actor, said, “This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari.”

Jabbari, who met Majors in 2021 on the set of Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, claims that the alleged abuse escalated to assault in 2022 when Majors “attacked” her, “causing serious injuries to her body.”
