Jonathan Majors trial: Who are Grace Jabbari and Meagan Good?

As Marvel star Jonathan Majors is on trial after being accused of assault by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, he has been accompanied in the courtroom by his new girlfriend, Meagan Good.

Mr Majors faces four charges — two counts of harassment and two counts of assault — surrounding a March 2023 incident in New York City during which he is accused of slapping Grace Jabbari, throwing her into the car after she exited it, twisting her arm and grabbing and injuring her hand. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Jurors have been deliberating for nearly three days after they heard from a series of witnesses including Ms Jabbari, her friend and choreographer, and the driver of the private vehicle.

Here are some of the trial’s key players.

Who is Grace Jabbari?

Grace Jabbari is a 30-year-old British dancer and the ex-girlfriend of Jonathan Majors. The pair dated for two years.

As a dancer, she has appeared in movies like Barbie, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One and Coldplay’s “Cry Cry Cry” music video, according to IMDB.

On the stand, Ms Jabbari told jurors that her romance with Mr Majors began in August 2021 after meeting on the set of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. She was working as a movement director while Mr Majors starred as the movie’s villain.

She said that his hair stylist “slipped me this piece of paper, so I opened it up and it was his number.” Then Majors returned to her side asking: “Am I going to see you later?”

Ms Jabbari testified that their relationship moved “fast.” She added that he wrote her poetry and “he told me that he loved me early on, which was overwhelming, but I loved it as well.”

But by December, she noticed a shift. She mentioned her ex, which she said prompted her boyfriend to yell, she said: “It was the first time I felt scared of him.”

Throughout the trial, numerous other incidents came to light aside from the one Mr Majors is on trial for, which a prosecutor called a “manipulative pattern” of abuse.

Text messages shown in court revealed an incident in September 2022 in London. In the texts, Mr Majors appears to admit that he had injured Ms Jabbari’s head. He then threatened to commit suicide if she went to the hospital, texts revealed.

Who is Meagan Good?

Meagan Good is a 42-year-old actress and model and Mr Majors’ current girlfriend.

She has appeared in both TV shows and movies, including Harlem, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Think Like a Man, according to her IMDB page.

The pair have been dating since May 2023, according to People. A source told the outlet that same month that the actress had been providing Mr Majors with “support” as he faced allegations.

Although Mr Majors sparked speculation that he and Ms Good were married after referring to her as “the missus” in a September speech, a source shot down that idea to People, underscoring they were still dating.

Photos have captured the couple walking into the courtroom hand-in-hand throughout the trial. During Majors’ defence attorney’s closing remarks, an emotional Ms Good was spotted wiping tears from her eyes.
