- Grace Jabbari accused Marvel actor Jonathan Majors of hitting her in March 2023.
- Jabbari, his ex, is expected to be charged with misdemeanor assault Wednesday in Majors' cross-complaint against her.
The choreographer ex-girlfriend who accused Jonathan Majors of misdemeanor domestic violence back in March 2023 is expected to surrender to the NYPD on Wednesday on a misdemeanor assault counter-charge brought against her by the Marvel actor, multiple sources have confirmed to Insider.
Majors' recent accusations against Grace Jabbari, 30, and Jabbari's original case against Majors, both stem from their midnight quarrel in March on a Chinatown, Manhattan, street corner.
Jabbari has alleged to the NYPD and Manhattan prosecutors that during the fight, Majors twisted and broke her finger, and bloodied her ear by slapping her in the head.
Majors later countered in a June police complaint that Jabbari was the aggressor, and that sidewalk and nightclub video shows she was uninjured in the hours after the dispute. Majors alleges that Jabbari scratched at him and stole from him that night, then injured herself while alone, in a drunken fall at his penthouse apartment.
The news of Jabbari's pending arrest comes on the eve of a Wednesday morning court hearing in Manhattan, where defense lawyers and prosecutors may fight over the actor's claims that the Manhattan District Attorney's office "buried" an NYPD investigation into the girlfriend's violent behavior on the night of the spat.
Prosecutors failed to include evidence of the case against Jabbari in what they turned over to the defense, "Despite being on notice of the NYPD investigation into Jabbari's criminal conduct, as well as an I-Card and Wanted Flyer," Majors' lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, wrote in her motion to dismiss the case.
An "I-Card" refers to an internal NYPD notification that the person is under investigation or wanted in connection to a crime.
Additionally, Majors' lawyer alleged that prosecutors turned a blind eye to Jabbari's theft of Major's "Rolex vintage watch and other luxury items that cost $6,000 - $7,000," as described in Majors' June police complaint against his ex.
In an email now in Majors' case file, Manhattan prosecutor Erin Tierney made it clear to Majors' lawyer, Chaudhry that the DA's office would not prosecute Jabbari even if the NYPD brought charges against her.
"We intend to decline to prosecute any charges brought by the New York Police Department against Ms. Grace Jabbari related to allegations made by Jonathan Majors regarding the incident that took place on March 23, 2023," Tierney wrote in a September email now in the case file.
The Manhattan DA's office did not elaborate on why they plan to decline to prosecute the NYPD charges against Jabbari.
Jabbari, a British national, met Majors, 33, while working as a movement coach on the set of this year's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."
She had planned to turn herself in to the 10th Precinct stationhouse in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the plans said, adding that a daylong negotiation for her surrender fell through on Tuesday.
She's now expected to turn herself in at the precinct sometime on Wednesday, and to be released without having to submit to formal "booking," meaning she won't be fingerprinted or held beyond the minimal time it will take to give her a summons that cites her charges – criminal mischief and misdemeanor assault, the sources said.
One new, key detail concerning the March dispute was also revealed in the DA's most recent filing. It's been known that the dispute arose after Jabbari spied a saucy text from another woman on Majors' phone as they rode in a livery car through lower Manhattan.
The new filing reveals that the text said, "I wish I was kissing you right now."
The woman who sent the text was not identified; it is unknown if she was actor Meagan Good, who has accompanied Majors to his last two in-person court dates.
In their latest filing, prosecutors also went on the attack against one of Majors' key defense witnesses, the livery car driver who witnessed much of the dispute.
Majors' side has said the unidentified driver described Jabbari to defense lawyers as a "psycho girl" who was the prime aggressor in the fight.
The new filing, suggests the driver may have suffered own domestic issues of his own. The filing says he told prosecutors that "Ms. Jabbari was acting like his wife does when she is angry with him," the filing said.
