Majors’s defense pegged the delay to an issue involving the district attorney’s discovery process, though the prosecution said it was ready to start.
the story and, citing law-enforcement sources, reported that Majors and his girlfriend had been fighting in a cab about text messages from another woman. The woman told officers who arrived at the scene that she had been assaulted, according to the NYPDThe initial criminal complaint said Majors had put his hand on the woman’s neck, “causing bruising and substantial pain,” and had hit her in the face, leaving “a laceration behind her ear.
A judge also granted Jabbari a full temporary order of protection in April. The order, which forbids Majors from having any contact with the her, was given “per the People’s request and with the consent of defense counsel,” the DA’s office said in a statement. Major’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, said the protection order “is standard in cases such as this, and we consented because Mr. Majors wants nothing to do with the woman who assaulted him.
Chaudhry also claimed Majors had called 911 out of concern for Jabbari and that she planned to submit exonerating evidence to the Manhattan district attorney’s office, including “video footage from the vehicle, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations.” It appears some of that footagea series of unverified text messages from the woman on March 30.
Majors’s legal team further expanded on his defense in court filings on April 19. According to documents reviewed by the Cut, the actor’s driver planned to testify that Jabbari had assaulted Majors “while she was attempting to steal his phone.” Chaudhry claims Majors then ran out of the car and sent the woman a breakup text from a hotel, where he spent the night.
