    Jonathan Majors Files Counter-Complaint Against Ex-Girlfriend, Claims He Was The ‘Victim’ During The March Assault

    It looks like Jonathan Majors has filed a counter-complaint against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, following his March arrest for a reported domestic dispute between the then-couple, NY Post reported. 

    The

    “Creed III”

    star claims that Jabbari scratched and hit him while she was drunk during an argument that later led to his March 25 arrest.

    “From the beginning, we have said Jonathan Majors is innocent and provably the victim here,”

    Priya Chaudhry, Majors’ attorney, told The Post in a statement.

    “Last week, for the first time, Mr. Majors met with the NYPD to present them with evidence of what really happened on that night,”

    Chaudhry added.

    “Within hours of viewing the evidence, and conducting their own thorough investigation, the NYPD found probable cause to arrest Grace Jabbari for assaulting Jonathan Majors.”

    An NYPD spokesperson declined to comment on Chaudhry’s claims, however, they did reveal that no more arrests have been made and the investigation was ongoing.

    Jabbari, 30, accused the 33-year-old Hollywood actor of attacking her three months ago leaving her with bruise marks on her head and neck, and her right hand injured. She was treated at a hospital and Majors was arrested. Initially, Majors was hit with six counts of third-degree assault, three counts of third-degree attempted assault, and two counts of harassment, reports note. He was later released from jail and the strangulation charge was dropped. However, he still faces misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment.

    According to legal filings obtained by The Post Chaudry claims a cab driver witnessed Jabbari attacking Majors on March 25. The driver allegedly saw Jabbari trying to snatch Majors phone on the way home from a bar in Brooklyn. The driver also allegedly saw a woman

    “hitting, scratching and attacking”

    Majors, who asked him to stop the car so he could get out.

    “Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone,”

    his attorney insisted.

    “We have provided irrefutable evidence to the district attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated.”

  • Sheryl Lee Ralph Opened Up About Being Sexually Assaulted By A ‘Famous TV Judge,’ Says She Was Asked By Network Execs To Not Report The Incident

    Sheryl Lee Ralph Opened Up About Being Sexually Assaulted By A ‘Famous TV Judge,’ Says She Was Asked By Network Execs To Not Report The Incident

    Sheryl Lee Ralph opened up in an exclusive interview with Way Up with Angela Yee about the sexual abuse she faced in Hollywood. 

    The Abbott Elementary star recalled the moments in her career when she had been violated by men in the industry as she discussed her new novel DIVA 2.0: 12 Life Lessons From Me For You.

    “This was a famous TV judge….,”

    she said adding that it was

    “not Judge Mathis.” 

    “I’m at a very public place. I was suited, I was handling my business for the television show I was on at that time. We were on the same network. This man walked in grabbed me by the back of my neck, turned me around, and rammed his nasty tongue down my throat. And everybody at the network saw it,”

    she said. 

    Ralph said network execs attempted to silence her.

    “Do you know that they did not want any bad press around their show and did not care what just happened to me…That’s the kind of stuff that happens. That’s what happens. That’s what makes it hard for women to speak up about these things.”

    The Emmy Award-winner offered her advice to women in Hollywood who could relate to her story.

    “It’s hard. I would say nowadays, speak up, tell your truth. Do not carry the burden of that pain. Especially if it’s something you feel you cannot work through.”

  • Will Smith Opens Up About Being Spit on by White Actor While Filming ‘Emancipation’

    Will Smith Opens Up About Being Spit on by White Actor While Filming ‘Emancipation’

    Will Smith fought back tears as he recalled the moment a White actor had to spit on him during the filming of the movie ‘Emancipation,’ Fox News reported. 

    The actor accepted his Beacon Award at the 14th annual African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) Awards on Wednesday night. He talked about the emotions he felt while embodying his character, 

    “Whipped Peter,”

    which was based on a real-life event of an escaped enslaved man who was pictured in 1863 with whip scars all over his back.

    Smith said,

    “‘Emancipation’ was the most individual difficult film of my entire career… It’s really difficult to transport a modern mind to that time period. It’s difficult to imagine that, that level of inhumanity.”

    Smith went on to detail the moment he was spat on.

    “It was the second day of shooting and 110 degrees,”

    he said.

    “I was in a scene with one of the White actors, and we had our lines, and the actor decided to ad-lib. So, we’re doing the scene. I did my line. He did his line. And then he ad-libbed and spit in the middle of my chest. If I had pearls on, I definitely would’ve clutched them. I wanted to say, ‘Antoineeeeee,’ but I stopped, and I realized that Peter (his character) couldn’t have called the director,”

    he explained. 

    “I sat there, and I took a deep breath, and we did take two, and the actor felt that the ad-lib had gone well. So, we do take two. I do my line. He does his line and spits in the middle of my chest again. I just held in that moment, and there was a part — it makes me teary right now — there was a part of me that was grateful that I got to really understand. And then, in the distance, I hear a voice, and Antoine says, ‘Hey, let’s do a take without the spit.’ And in that moment, I knew that God was real,”

    Smith related.

    This is Smith’s first in-person Award show since the viral 2022 Oscars slap where he unexpectedly slapped Chris Rock while the comedian was presenting an Oscar during the ceremony. He has been banned from attending any Academy Award events for the next 10 years.
