The assault trial of Jonathan Majors is heading into its third day, and the woman accusing him, Grace Jabbari, will take the stand. This time, Majors’ attorneys will have the opportunity to question her about the alleged attack.
The actor’s ex-girlfriend, the prosecution’s key witness, is set to face cross-examination by Majors’ defense on Wednesday. This comes after she testified on Tuesday regarding her perspective of the incident that led them to court.
Jabbari specifically corroborated the prosecutors’ assertion that she was a victim on that fateful night in March when Majors was arrested and ultimately charged with assault and harassment.

Early on Wednesday, Jabbari testified that she had taken two over-the-counter sleeping pills on the night of the alleged assault. She claimed that this caused her to end up asleep and partially unclothed on the bathroom floor in Jonathan’s apartment, and when she woke up, the police were standing over her and she could hear the actor in the next room.
The actor has maintained his innocence throughout. He and his lawyers insist that he was the one who was attacked that night, not the other way around. However, the prosecution presented a different narrative in their opening statement, alleging that Jabbari was in an abusive relationship with the actor, which erupted that night in the car.
Jabbari reiterated that account on the stand, explaining that she caught Jonathan Majors texting another woman, which led to a confrontation. She took away his phone, and he then physically assaulted her to get it back. She also testified that when she tried to escape from the car, he grabbed her and threw her back inside, an incident reportedly captured in the surveillance video shown to the jury members by the prosecution.
After their altercation, Jabbari claims that she attended a party with people she had just met to distract herself. There are photos and videos showing her unharmed at the club. However, Jabbari testified that she was actually injured and reeling from her wounds.
There were other incendiary moments during her first day on the stand, including a recording of an argument she had with Majors, where he allegedly urged her to be more like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama, while shouting, “I’m a big man!”
Jabbari also claimed that Majors had been aggressive with her in the past. She said that he once lost his temper after she mentioned her ex-boyfriend’s dog.
Majors remained impassive during Jabbari’s testimony. Now, his attorneys will have the opportunity to question and dismantle her story.
At some point, the prosecutors will presumably call other witnesses, including the private car driver who was present that night, who would be the only physical evidence and presumably the only impartial witness to the conflict between Majors and Jabbari.
