- On December 4, 2023, NY v. Jonathan Majors kicked off with opening statements and its first witness testimony. This is the recap of Day 2 of this trial, which includes testimony from Grace Jabbari, the ex-girlfriend and alleged victim in this case.
FOR CONTEXT:
New York prosecutors allege that on March 24, 2023, actor Jonathan Majors physically assaulted his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari in the back seat of a hired driver's car before throwing her back into the car after she tried to get out. Jabbari says that as a result of this altercation, she suffered a fractured right middle finger, a cut to her right ear, and bruising to her head. Majors, on the other hand, disputes the characterization of the altercation: he says she attacked him, and that he suffered scratches on his face and body as a result, and that he threw her into the car so he could get away from her before she tried chasing him down on the streets of New York.

Unpopular opinion: all couples considering marriage need to be having these conversations. (Respectfully and explicitly, not implied or assumed) Here are my values, here are my goals, this is the lifestyle I want. Does that match yours?
If this is unpopular, then couples are fucked
Agreed but what’s been happening as a trend recently that one or more of those expectations is idealistic and not pragmatic. Especially lifestyle expectations in the face of the current global economy situation. And this might be due to a lack of understanding or education about how social systems work per country, and intertwined with the global events.
Dating is hard so a lot of people just stay casual to feel the situation out first. What people say and what they do, can be different and you don’t detect that unless by experience and some risk taking.
Yes. However, some will lie and tell you what you want to hear. You need to keep your eyes open and have your non-negotiables. Once crossed, you end it, not start talking about therapy to stay in the relationship. Have therapy if you must, but end it. Keep your eyes open and don't ignore red flags and don't try to excuse their bad behaviour because some day they'll turn it on you
@@atty7697 Agreed. Like a red line for me is any evidence of a gambling habit or extremely combative personality that can’t let things go that don’t make sense fighting over.
Dating is the previews of the main attraction.
10:30 If a woman told a man his behavior embarrassed her and he needed to do better absolutely nobody would have a problem with it. This double standard belongs in the garbage.
100% true. Women do this all the time
Yeah. It’s a shitty thing to say to a partner no matter who says it, though.
True!
@@alliu6562 I think it's a good thing to tell your partner if you don't like the way they carry themselves in public. Example being drunk publicly and acting out of character. People should have the right to have certain standard, and express them. As long as someone isn't forced to stay and fullfil those preferences, I can't see what is shitty about it.
I’ve been in relationship(s) where a woman has hit, scratched, and tried to hurt me. I didn’t want to be anywhere near her. I called the police on multiple occasions, which was scary for me to do as a black man. Later I called my best friend and my brother to get advice. It took me years to wrap my head around what had happened to me.
I hope you’re in a better place now, and that you’ve found someone who treats you better than that woman did in your past. Nobody deserves to be attacked, especially by a partner. Well wishes and everything to you
I feel like her going out with the people she met was a way for her to get him to miss/worry about her. She wanted him to come looking for her, find her and see that she was having a "great" time, but ultimately to beg her forgiveness. It's possible that she fractured her finger while fighting for the phone, but more likely when she fell, drunkenly, in the closet.
Agreed
I always love how you present both sides and carefully explain your opinion.
I really appreciate that! I do try--not always as successful as I'd like to be, but my aim is always to present things as fairly as I can, while still giving some room to give my own thoughts from my own perspective for dialogue.
@@LegalBytesMediait is still quite effective the way you break down your analysis. It is honestly quite remarkable in the way you can approach a topic without any bias. It makes listening to your breakdowns palatable. There aren't very many out there that do what you do. I can appreciate that.
She said she iced her finger at the bar Because she knew she would be in a lot of pain the next morning But at the same time she says she has a high tolerance of pain 😒 The her actions that night is giving Amber Hurd
She also said that she wasn't aware of the injury until the next morning. So which story is it?
So here’s the lesson, kids: if someone has 3 different answers to the same question, they’re LYING😳😎
That video of her going out and not having any visible injury is a huge evidence that can't be ignored. The prosecution don't seem to have any incriminating evidence.
She went to the hospital for her fractured finger and laceration behind her ear though. That sounds like evidence to me.
@@darriahlazardyeah but so is the video of her using said finger directly after the altercation.
@@darriahlazardit's obvious that happened after she left that club
@@darriahlazard He wasn't with her between the time she was in the club video clubbing and the time where she went to the hospital. That sounds like incontrovertible evidence to me.
@@darriahlazard Let’s hope the jury has more comprehension skills than you, but this is the fear when your life is in the hand of strangers. After the incident there is video footage that shows there was nothing wrong with her finger or ear. So whatever occurred likely happened when she returned home and he was at hotel. It is in line of a sloppy drunk falling and injuring themself.
The best coverage I've seen. Awesome work.
Thank you!!
Concise, fair commentary with the perfect voice for podcast. I’m glad I found this channel.
Same here.
A guilty man needs a lawyer.
An innocent black man needs an excellent lawyer.
Black men get 10% longer prison terms than white men when found guilty of the same crime
Men get 60% longer prison terms than women, and are twice as likely to get a prison sentence, than women when found guilty of the same crime
So the courts are far more sexist than racist
@@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons
Does this mean a black man will get 69% longer sentences than white woman. Nice.
Well in this case he’s not innocent and his lawyer and PR team are absolutely terrible.
@@rpottage
You are very confident in your prediction.
Should I call you the Doctor… time traveller who has visited the future.
Truth
I’ve never heard of the person claiming to be abused running after the person who just abused her .. on top of saying that the early incidents in the relationship caused her to be afraid of him
The video of him trying to keep her in the car and him bolting off leaving her chasing him for several blocks , yet you so scared of him.
Truly Alyte, I appreciate how candid you were in regards to the discussion of sacrifices. People need to understand that when people couple up, both parties are joining each other's lives. They are requirements to everything, even as simple as installing a software on your PC, the PC has to meet software requirements or it won't work. There is nothing wrong announcing your intentions and I am surprised Grace was framing this as abuse.
I don't think using PC building as an analogy here is helpful in the slightest, PC. Building involves lot's of parts for a start and compatibility is easily assessed by looking at the specs of the parts.. Do you know what your specs are? What he did is compare her to obama and King and in the process equalise himself to the first black president and the leader of the civil rights movement. Great actor sure, but the narcissistic BS of calling himself a great man to that calibre 😮is laughable. Plus if he's so worried about his reputation, maybe don't cheat on your long term girlfriend who you are talking about marriage with in the metoo era
@@nondisclosure3920 the PC analogy was apt as it is all about compatibility. I done a stream with someone who was in court to hear this and even she said what she attributed her to be did not match the audio. No matter who you believe, or what side you are on, it's much easier to just follow the facts.
@@heinzsight Grave concerns have been raised regarding the prosecutorial practices of the District Attorney's Office, particularly in cases involving charges of assault and battery. These concerns arise from allegations of overzealous prosecution based on potentially unreliable or exaggerated information provided by law enforcement officials. Braggs office should be investigated, look what occurred to Kevin Porter Jr. and how his girlfriend Kysre Gondrezick said the police and the prosecutors made up facts. czcams.com/video/dX40pFHpVv0/video.html
@@nondisclosure3920 this man could of being preparing for a role for all we know and this girl has recorded him and presented it with a completely different narrative.
@@sannadek1673 hadn't even thought of that. But that very well may be true. Actors are constantly rehearsing lines and running them around people within their circle who support them.
I do have a feeling that this is an authentic coversation though. Taken completely out of context for the convenience of labeling Majors as a controlling narcissist. But it is very reasonable to have such conversations in the beginning of relationships as a means of measuring expectations. The trouble is that today, people don't want to face the hard conversations. Todays person lives in their feelings and are granted entitlement to do so. They have "their truth", which rarely matches reality. And so you get discrepancies like this. Their truth, not THE truth.
Always appreciate your analysis. Thank you for the work you do to bring us these recaps.
Went out to feel safe. Then came back to his place. The math ain't mathing
I am really struggling to understand how people think she has a case. She grabbed his phone. The struggle happened because he was trying to get the phone back. Then he was trying to get away from her. Everything else is just background noise to try and paint him in a certain light. If he is found guilty does that mean I can go up to a stranger, steal their property and then get them charged with assault if they try and get it back?
agreed: czcams.com/video/S2xJE2LhzAE/video.htmlfeature=shared
It's not her case, you mean the prosecution not having a case?
so a cheating man getting text from another woman, won't make a woman upset/jealous! You're delusional. This behavior happens daily.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608so if a man thinks his woman is cheating that means he’s allowed to rip the phone out of her hand then chase her for multiple blocks trying to get it after she gets away?
Cause that’s what I’m hearing
@@Somero5115 yes, happens everyday. I'm not saying he abused her, I'm saying cheating is common and people get defensive when caught and the person catching them in the act get upset, human nature. Sounds like a bad relationship. This is the state vs Majors, this woman was going to keep quiet. I'm not defending either one. I had ex girlfriends snatch my phone, laptop or try to go threw my things, suspecting things.
I find it difficult to understand how she can chase after someone who abused her and she was afraid off. Clearly he was trying to get away from her and for her to chase after him for 5-6 blocks, says a lot.
I’m not buying the story the prosecutors are trying to sell. Her behavior is that of an aggressor, not the victim.
Loving the recaps. Thanks.
Thank you!
Thank you for covering this!!
Katt your videos are getting a lot more views compared to last week, Congratulations!!!! Your videos (along with this one) is really helping with this case. Keep it up!
I think there is a huge difference between "This is what I need in a relationship, if you aren't willing to provide it then we should split up" and "This is what I need, you must do it since we're together". The former approach is still heavily influencing but it doesn't seek to control the other partner, while the latter is potentially abusive because if separation isn't an option then coercion is implicitly threatened. I think people are mad because the quote fits more neatly into the latter interpretation, but in my opinion we don't yet have enough evidence to know which dynamic was actually present.
This.
Awesome recap!!!
If majors is innocent
I could see her motive for destroying his career as "he cared more about it than me"
I think it is problematic that we have to rely on the interpretations of evidence by someone else instead of being able to judge it with our own eyes and ears. We saw how that can play out in the Depp v. Heard case where the coverage was just completely different and false from what was actually seen in the court room. That has really soured me on trusting any reporting from court rooms without camera's. I should hope that at minimum at least the video and audio footage will be available to the public in full so people can make up their own minds.
Do you know why camera's aren't allowed in this court room in this case?
that's all well and good, but why do you think we as the public have any right to see what's happening in the courtroom? The jury can see, that's all that matters. I'd love to see this televised but only for entertainment purposes.
@@user-gh5sd2nm5yThe same reason , there are reporters in the courtroom covering the case .lol
@@user-gh5sd2nm5yI’d say whenever the media picks up on a story and blasts it all over the news: we have a right to see what’s up.
My thinking is that if the public is not going ot be allowed, then neither shold the media. let's all wait and peruse through court documents. The point is, we cannot trust the media. So if we cannot see for ourselves - especially these me-too stories, then kick the media out too. I still shudder to think what would've happened if depp's fate had been left to the media. even when we could see, look all the damage they still succeeded in doing. @@user-gh5sd2nm5y
@@user-gh5sd2nm5y The public always has a right to see what goes on in the court room, you could just walk in if you wanted and where able to. The reason to see it televised, is not for entertainment, but to keep the process and the media honest. Matters of justice that happen behind closed doors are prone to corruption and the media has proven to not be truthful in their depiction of evidence presented in the court room. The misrepresentation in the media in the Depp v. Heard case for example where egregious. Had I not followed the trial and seen with my own eyes and ears what was said and what evidence was entered into the record, I would not have been able to judge the facts for myself and would have been duped by the media. That is not justice.
That also would make it impossible to judge for myself weather I wish to continue consuming media with certain accused people in it. I think it is extremely troublesome in celebrity cases that we are just supposed to believe the media narrative which has time and time again proven to be untrustworthy. Especially here in a case against a black man accused of crimes against a white woman, the moment his claims where heard about the situation and the police officers in this case, the public should be wanting to monitor and judge the evidence that comes in. We should be curious to hear the whole side of both stories. Not for entertainment, but to keep the system honest.
Women like Jabari have emotionally charged, “buzzword” laden answers for every action or inaction… and non of them include self accountability. Everything is “I did X only because he did Y.” As a brother to 2 sisters I am VERY sensitive to men and their physical power over women. But I also have a family friend charged of gRape in 2001, sentenced to 12 years in prison in 2002, *only to have her come forward in 2009 and admit she LIED to get even with him for breaking up with her.* He was finally released in 2010 after losing 8 years of his life, and she was never charged. SO…I’m not in this camp of believing every female who can turn on the waterworks is a victim. I think most women in the Feminist movement know some women are full of it, but the fear is if one bad actor is outed, they don’t want to lose their status of “permanent victims.” Majors sounds like a control freak, but in context that’s not against the law as many men and women are control freaks; especially high achievers. Let’s see how this case progresses.
Thank you for doing your research and being unbiased Alyte. All of the major outlets never even reported that she chased after him for blocks in the video. This is a key piece of evidence
They wouldn't have known because that info was not released to the public until the trial
@@Heyu7her3 What are you saying ? There's literally media journalist in the courtroom that is reporting (terribly) on this case.
You were afraid and scared but initiate aggressive contact by snatching your ‘abusers’ phone then proceed to chase your ‘abuser’ 5 blocks?
It’s giving… Do you live in these apartments? You seem scary… Let me follow you up the elevator.😂
@@SoloDeus_Rey like bruh?! Really girl? I call BS
The people who had a issue with what you were saying are the same people who still believe Amber heard, is innocent.
She took pictures and recordings sounds like she had plans to set him up. Just like Amber Heard.
It’s crazy that Men aren’t allowed to have standards
It's gonna be really fucked up if it all comes out that she has no way to prove her allegations. Dude lost many many millions of dollars in his upcoming mcu role that he will never be able to get back. The damage will have been done.
She snatched and stole his phone. If someone did that to me, I’m not sure how I would immediately react, but it wouldn’t be nice given that our phones tend to have our most private information nowadays.
Thanks for covering this Alyte :)
I don’t know what happened in that car. I don’t see anything that validates the claim she was assaulted thus far. I also don’t understand how they’re going to try to convict him for this crime by saying he’s committed this crime previously. That doesn’t prove that he assaulted her that night or ever. I’m still open to the possibility he did it but I’ve seen no proof.
Especially when those other incidents don’t involve assault
Great video 👍🏽
I wish there were 📷 in the courtroom so that I could see the testimony for myself however is hard for me to find that someone who is claiming abuse will chase or run after the aggressor. Although I have never been a victim of abuse my common sense tells me I will run away from my aggressor and not to them. My brain tells me you will run away from danger.
I can't figure out how the prosecution can go forward with this case the math is not mathing 🤔 I wonder what's in it for them what do they gain 🤔🤔🤔 so far I'm thinking she's the one that should be charged.
@1:37 while that may be true it doesn’t support the facts of this case. 1. JM was actively trying to get away from her. So much so he ran 6 city blocks, which was caught on camera. 2. He left and told her he was checking into hotel and was not at the home he pays for. 3. He cut off communication as to not further fuel the situation while it was heightened.
Absolutely fair points! My point with this comment at the beginning of the video was more meant to apply generally to these kinds of cases, much like my initial comments on the subject on Day 1. Of course, even when we're talking about commonalities across cases, we still need to consider the specifics within each case, such as the points you so well laid out. So even if it's true that an abuse victim can go out to seek safety rather than go home, the specific details of what happened in this case don't necessarily line up with that possibility. It's why it's important to have a fact-based analysis in these kinds of cases, because the whole case can turn on just a few details.
In regard to the things he’s allegedly, said to her, he sounds like a bad partner, but bad partner doesn’t necessarily mean abusive.
Bad partner vs manipulative credit card thief who steal phones and flees the country to escape an active warrant😂
you mean where he told her that he expects her to behave like a decent human being and not embarrass him? Oh sorry, men should never have standards
@@bernidre 🙄 oh here y'all go. if that's so important, you leave the person.
@@Heyu7her3 Well as for me, yes, if you can't not embarrass me then it's a no go. But the point still stands, having standards as a man is not abusive.
Dr. Umar is probably having a field day with this one 😓
Idk much about this but could they have the driver to testify as to what actuality happened inside the vehicle before Ms. Jabari stated chasing Mr. Majors?
I believe the defense plans to call the driver to testify. I'm also very interested to hear what he has to say.
@@LegalBytesMedia I’m not sure that’s correct; I’ve seen news reports stating the SUV driver will be a prosecution witness.
@@gelfling9319 I've also read that the defense is going to call on the driver to testify what galena inside the vehicle
The prosecution claims, that the driver would testify that Majors threw her back into the vehicle like a football as she tried to flee.
The defense countered, claiming the same driver also called her a psycho.
Here's the problem for the prosecution, by their own(tacit) admission/Jabbari testimony. It was her physical aggression that started the altercation. She had no right to take his property, refuse to give it back, and claim to be the victim.
All the evidence points to the fact that his physical contact with her had everything to do with him retrieving said property.
And all the footage after the incident debunks the prosecutions bogus claims of traumatic abuse.
There are scores of women who are abused by their degenerate partners. Jabbari isn't one of them.
Definitely wish there was audio or video of the testimony. The one way I can kind of see the strangers “saving” her is in the sense that she was essentially stranded without a phone. Less saving her from him, but rather saving her from the circumstances? Woman alone on the street without a phone. Maybe that factors into her chasing him the second time.
But their are a lot of unknowns without tone of voice, visual cues, and the full account from her.
I'm kicking myself for not using the surveillance footage I found of her meeting the strangers as b roll (I used a good portion of it in the Day 1 Recap) because it shows she has a phone, so it appears they swapped phones during this fight? I'm not entirely sure, maybe she has two phones. This was somewhat confusing to me as well.
@@LegalBytesMedia I’ll have to look back at some of the footage. I think one of the interesting things about this case the way that some of the info seems both reasonable and unreasonable depending on how you look at it. Granted it’s still early and I’m not completely in the know with everything, but it definitely has my interest from a behavioral point of view.
Yes, she has two phones. One was a phone Majors provided that she later testifies that she never returned (still has it) @@LegalBytesMedia
@@LegalBytesMedia She has 2 phones. You can see her using both in some of the night club footage. I think i heard some one in a recap mention she used the hotspot on one. I'm guessing 1 is U.S. and the other is U.K.?
@@DarkMeauxJeaux ah ok then! I was under the impression she was using another person’s phone as a hotspot, but maybe I was mistaken.
Her story has so many inconsistencies. How can we take her word on anything?
Just subscribed
Both of these people are strangely blind to the multiple red flags they both have been clearly waving at each other. If they weren't able or willing to heed all the warnings and get out before it got physically harmful for both of them, then they deserve each other's BS. But neither of them deserve any of the other's physical wrath. Now what remains is for this jury to decide which of the two is actually responsible for crossing the legal line in this case. I'll be here to watch this train wreck of a "relationship" to the bitter end.
ugh..I wish we could see this trial.
I feel like the prosecution decided to put out the surveillance footage themselves, knowing the defense would have done so if they didn't. This way they can massage the message early, get the imagery in and paint the narrative as they want first, before the defense would have the easier task of painting the narrative to match their feelings. Certainly, the defense will have their chance at this later, but now they remain in the defense, rather than getting the chance to use this offensively against the prosecution. It may not serve the prosecution favorably in the end, but it feels like they chose to use the surveillance footage as they did to shine the best light they can on it. We'll see how it works out in the end.
I fractured a finger once, and didn't know I had fractured it for over two weeks, then one day I bumped the tip of the finger and it felt like I had broken it from that slight bump.
Him calling himself a great man is somewhat egotistical, and probably narcissistic, but the outlining of goals, requirements etc. is healthy, and if she felt like she needed to change who she was, that sounds more like she knew she was doing inappropriate things, or she was very insecure in who she is. Both are highly possible and very common.
There are some things that smell really fishy to me and don't sound like the truth at all, and some that sounds like what does happen in abusive relationships, but somehow feels...not laid out properly...or something, I'm not sure.
Abused women WILL chase after a man who just abused them, the reasoning is odd though and doesn't really make sense to someone who has full control of their own mind, something about the layers of altered mental states when you are abused filters thoughts in a way that don't make sense at the end, but if you can track them, you can figure out how they got distorted.
I will say though, that her saying her friends "saved" her when she was chasing him down, doesn't track with any abused I have known. If you are looking for a savior, you want distance, you wouldn't be chasing your abuser. Women who have chased after their abuser usually are defending them, and are far from wanting to be saved and will actually get angry at someone who offers help.
I don't think I've ever seen someone who was just abused go party, but I haven't seen all cases, just the approximately dozen of women I have known who were abused never did that.
I have not been swayed as of yet, seeing as how the state has the burden of proof.
I will also point out that her taking his phone is a violation of privacy and a detriment to her character.
How is her stealing his phone not considered theft?
I’m so fucking sick and tired of seeing abusive assholes use someone, in a relationship, grabbing a phone as justification for beating them.
@@rpottageyou haven’t even heard all the evidence and yet have already judged and condemned that man. So far, there are not any facts that show him to be an abuser.
@@rpottagethat’s theft and assault.
@@honibee2188 there’s literally a video of it that the prosecution played for the jury.
@@rickmanigault6447 That’s not assault; maybe look up the laws before you spout bullshit and only a domestic abuser thinks it’s okay to beat your girlfriend for her taking your phone to look at.
Sorry to not talk about the case, but the background looks like you’re at a hotel (maybe vacation or on a trip or something). In which case I wanted to say thank you for keeping up with these even when you’re not at home. ❤ We as your audience appreciate your hard work and effort, and I hope you have a good time with what you’re doing, but I do miss your cats in the background. 🤣
Thank you!! I am in fact on a trip with Mr. Bytes at the moment, but we'll be back tomorrow night! (Which of course means we'll be back to our regular environment, complete with Indy and the whole kitty gang! 😂)
Just don't date women. Good lord. He didn't like her ex-boyfriend so that's testimony in court? The fact that she's just bringing up what appear to be regular arguments is insane. This guy could be a complete butthole but that's not illegal.
Exactly. Being a douche is not illegal lol
So glad you said that. I don’t see how any of this is admissible.
That was part of his patterning
@@Heyu7her3 that's nonsense. The law is the law. You date someone with traits you don't like it's up to you to break up with them not the law. I know plenty of selfish manipulative men and women neither is illegal. Nor are requests made in the relationship. Justified or not in a relationship asking your partner to do something isn't psychological abuse. Simply telling someone you want them to do something or be a certain way isn't abuse or illegal unless the request itself is against the law or causes you harm. Being offended is not cause for legal action nor is saying something perceived as offensive. 1st amendment shockingly applies in relationships as well as in public.
I wanna know has anybody ever took someone’s phone from them or you?And how they get it back from you or how you get it back from them?
Thanks for covering this case. It upsets me that this case is not getting as much coverage. I wanted to add that while i don't agree about someone telling someone else how to behave... I understand why someone would only want to associate with people they feel may reflect better on them. Me personally I would choose NOT to he around people I feel do not reflect my values. However this way of thinking is not new to me. Given her background I would imagine she probably would have been given a similar speech from her family. I know i definitely had that speech growing up. I know Jonathan Majors has mentioned the speech his mother gave him. I think if we could all see the evidence for ourselves it would make things clearer.
Glad to find a neutral coverage of this case online, it's very helpful. I've seen people impulsively taking the "great man" comments out of context. As mentioned in this video, he was saying it in relation to the analogy used in their conversation of ambitious ("great") people who have goals and want to accomplish certain things that take sacrifice and is bigger than their short-term desires. It's not arrogance, it's confidence in your abilities and your work ethic, esp since at that time his hard work was paying off big-time. If someone is not as naturally ambitious (i.e., in a way as though their life depends on it) or comes from an entitled background this will seem foreign to them. It's not in and of itself abuse, that is a radical misinterpretation and unconscious bias. If your values are not aligned and you're not "equally yoked" then the relationship needs to end. It makes total sense that he moved on to date another actor from a similar community/background because they will share that work ethic shorthand and, basically understand the assignment.
Imagine Cassie saying she snatched Diddy's phone. These women need to stop.
There was a report that Grace secretly recorded Jonathan, but did they mention where? Isn't that illegal in most places?
Sounds like relationship drama that went to far. Many men/women that suspect cheating, try to get that phone or laptop. I'm not saying he abused her or not but this sounds like something on Jerry Springer
ive found it really hard to find content on this case that isnt biased. every man ive see presents the info in favor of majors and every women ive seen presents the info in favor of jabbari. this is the first ive seen where someone seems to know what theyre talking about while also seeming to not favor one particular side. thank u for ur content and hopefully u are willing to provide further updates
I think the video may give more info than you talked about. I remember seeing the video on another channel, and the one guy in the group look like he was going to chase Major down until the one girl in the group (not the ex) pulled him back and started berating him.
Question I hope is answered is what did she tell the group she bumped into? Cause that reaction looks like a guy told that the girl he met that night was being abused and he reacted as if he was going to beat him up for her.
She said nothing about being hit and abused by JM to these complete strangers. She was crying that he was cheating on her and that she left her phone/purse in his car. There are versions where you can hear their conversation on the video
❤
She seems to be up to something she is Documenting like it was all part of the plan.
How long is the trial expected to last ?
From what I've read, maybe a couple weeks, maybe a little more than that. I think the state plans to take around six court days with their case-in-chief alone.
Thank you !
There's other channels reporting with more details on this case. He is a list below:

yeah, use of "but" there feels bit clumsy... focusing on chase is good... analyzing two descriptions that both say he tried to keep her in car is not.
With him being a person on the road to fame, I can totally understand him asking her to keep her image clean. If you go out and get drunk, once the relationship is out there will be people WAITING for a slip up to make it the next day's news, and the headline wouldn't be "Random girl vomiting and falling outside of the club" it wouldn've been his name followed by whatever embarassing thing she could've done.
I have no problems accepting that you need to talk about ambition and sacrifice if those are relevant in your relationship.
HOWEVER. If he indeed repeatedly referred to himself as a “great man”? Gigantic red flag. That’s not up to him to judge, that’s for history to judge. And my guy? You’re an actor. Calm the fuck down.
I don’t know which way the truth lies, but I know that I would stay tf away from a relationship with a *self professed* “great man”.
That's laughable, if you secretly polled most wealthy successful men, I'd guess 99 percent of them would consider themselves great, they just don't say it out loud. Anyone with an ego thinks very highly of themselves.
LeBron James said he's the greatest.
Also there was another athlete, that who's mantra was "I am greatest". You probably never heard of him, his name was
Muhammad Ali
Also you buried the lead. The biggest red flag, is secretly recording private conversations. It's disturbing how you glossed over that.
There are a million reasons to justify going out after an abuse incident. Everyone processes trauma different.
However, saying that she was "saved" when she clearly wasn't physically had better come with an explanation. Otherwise she just sounds crazy.
Thanks for the non pc answer
Blimey, the video came at the prosecution's narrative with a machete.
As much scrutiny as we can put the sacrifices comment under, I feel like that's outside spectators looking in (which admittedly the Jury are, too...). And we're judging without context. Even if it's sexist or old fashioned, it sounds to me like, ultimately, he was trying to find common ground, explaining what he was looking for, and explaining why and where she wasn't living up to it. Which is not unreasonable in the least as a romantic relationship is but one aspect of a person's life.
Love is amazing. Love is great. Love can get you through so much in life. But love doesn't pay the bills and love can't do the work for you. Sometimes, people who love each other greatly just aren't a good fit otherwise, and that's completely valid imo.
The pattern of abuse stuff makes this case a total sham.
Along with all the other red flags, I also wonder if you have someone’s credit card and can use it to drink and be out with strangers to get away from you abuser. Why not use it to get away. Could have booked a hotel room elsewhere, called for help and gathered your thoughts.

Even if he is found 100% innocent and it’s discovered she was a horrific monster who planned this from the day she met him, his career is already ruined. Marvel dropped him as the main villain in phase four or five or whichever phase they’re on now. So if she’s just being a vindictive ex, she already won.
It shows how easy a women can destroy a man with just her mouth smh
You are correct that his career has taken a hit. But JM has yet to be officially dropped by Disney/Marvel from future MCU projects. They are taking the wait-and-see approach it seems.
What he said is certainly not criminal but it can be used to show that he does want control over his girlfriends. It would be up to the jury to decide if that adds anything to their decision.
So you know a women that doesn’t want to control her significant other? That’s what a relationship is.
A healthy relationship is two people working together with neither working to overshadow the other, but to better both. This is a legal case the prosecutors role here is to show a pattern of control from his end. The defense is the opposite. I am not arguing who is right simply what the argument is in this case by the prosecutor.@@rickmanigault6447
You ain’t gotta suck up to the ignorant crowd. Any person with ears and eyes and common sense can tell this case against majors stinks to the high heavens. #AmberHeard 2.0
Is the court likely to release the video evidence to the public? I strongly dislike needing to rely on other parties' interpretation on video evidence.
I'm very much the same way, which is one reason these recaps are taking a little longer than I'd like--I'm cross-referencing where I can for accuracy. Some of the footage is out there, but you need to find it. I'm trying to include it in the recaps where I can, but I also want to make sure it's the correct footage that matches up to the right events.
I’m willing to wait until all the evidence is in. But it seems very muddy to me
I think its pretty clear why all of this has gone this far. She is a woman scorned and if she had experienced this "injury" under different circumstances, like an argument not pertaining to another woman, guarantee she would have kept it to herself. The evidence is starting to favor her being the one with issues honestly.
New subscriber... good video.. I do not believe her based on what I have seen and heard of the coverage thus far. I wish them both well.
What do you think of Grace Jabbari's testimony so far? Does that video surveillance footage contradict her testimony, or do you still think the state might have a decent case? Share your thoughts here!!
My take away from all this is just how much stress the acting industry must be putting on Majors. Makes me wonder if it’s like this for other actors/actresses too.
The State has no compelling case.
I see no way the alleged injuries can credibly be tied back to the car struggle.
The whole thing that he's saying about her being Michelle Obama or Coretta Scott King, I mean come on people these are the women that he view as women who are great supporters of men who have great done great things. He said he's a great man and that's what you should say I'm a great person if you think you are he wants a great woman. So if they got married all she would do is really sit home have kids and take care of the household which is a great thing to do. And so if he's going to be the main money maker why can't he ask her to sacrifice some things when he's out there doing great things.
I heard the audio and you could hear her sniffing crying in the background whilst he lectures her about how she behaves. He sounds narcissistic, it seems a lot of these actors are. If he didn't think she was wifey material he should have dated someone else instead of asking her to change.
Coercive control is a type of abuse, but it's something that's addressed more in the UK than the US. In the US it can be used to show a pattern of abuse to help in DV cases, but isn't illegal in&of itself. In the UK coercive control in intimate relationships is against the law. I think that's why she was trying to show a pattern of Majors demonstrating all the signs of coercive control. Look it up, she goes down the list of behaviors that indicate that type of abuse, when describing her relationship with him. If she's telling the truth, then yes, that was abusive, but not illegal. I'm talking about the emotional abuse stuff that was mentioned, not the violent stuff. Trying to catch up, I was living under a rock, & just found out about this case yesterday.
None of this charade matters. I have no idea whether he'll be found guilty or not but Majors' career is already destroyed. Execution by allegation.
chasing someone who just twisted ur arm behind ur back and hit you in the head is very uhmmmm, not advised
At this point I would like a background investigation of Grace Jabbari. My gut is telling me that she may have a tendency towards a drinking problem which she's been dismissive of in her description of events but Majors took exception of in his "plan". While I will accept that a trained dancer may have a high pain tolerance, and adrenaline, ice, and alcohol may have masked some pain from a fracture, she is seen using her dominant hand freely on video at various points in the night and it does not appear that she is in any way favoring it. In those videos we have not seen any application of ice, yet she says she did so at the bar where the majority of the video comes from.
I don't see any abuse in Major's "plan" even if it is restrictive. If she is unwilling to follow his plan, the choices are to work out a new plan with him or end the relationship. As stated in the review, the recording was calm and presented in a matter of fact manner.
It is common for an abuser/attacker to then accuse the victim of being the attacker if third parties after the fact suspect them of such.
Alyte (I hope I spelled that right) is right, it would be great to see video from the court room . Seeing her body language and hearing her intonation are valuable tools in evaluating the truth of what she's saying. Words on a transcript don't depict whether or not she believes what she's saying as she relays it.
So far, this sounds like a maturity issue. I wonder their age difference?
By 16:58 lol
@@gracelloyd3758 She's 30 he's 34. What about 16:58?
I think that pursuing your partner to confront them about cheating is not in and of itself "aggressive." Yes if she had cornered him she could have become belligerent of physical but she could have also just become tearful and pleading. I am sure the defense will suggest that Major was afraid for his safety; so, he was "fleeing" to escape her rage but video footage sounds like it paints a neutral picture where we still have to choose to correctly identify the survivor in this relationship. I'm concerned that the judge may not have intimate partner violence training. If the judge is instructing the jury not to consider emotional manipulations or belittling comments as evidence of a pattern then it flies in the face of our current understand of IPV. A huge majority of abusive relationships experience regular financial and emotional control that would never rise to the level of criminal charges. Even things like throwing an object at a wall near her face don't necessarily count as assault or attempted assualt by some court-standards AND that very much might be the majority of the abuse in their relationship. That type of intimidation and attacks on her self esteem can still causes all of the same mental health issues as being routinely physically beat up. IPV advocates know that for most abusive relationships actual assaults can be rare and the prosecution will be in trouble if they cannot teach jury that a pattern of violence is not always, even usually, a pattern of physical abuse. Physical abuse may come much later into the relationship and be very rare. 2. It's important to remember that some people who have experienced complex trauma have a different sensitization to pain and danger. She very well might be able move her hand fine for longer than most people before waking up to pain. Trauma changes the brain. 3. it sounds to me like her radar for trust is a little wonky, maybe from years of trauma, possibly not even just Major's trauma. That she would describe two strangers inviting her out as "saving," a pretty strong word for a very minimal-effort act of kindness, sounds to me like it could also indicate ways in which she vulnerable to predators who don't have to do much to win her loyalty. I am enjoying your fair commentary.
If sacrificing a woman's's goals to a man's is misogynistic. Then demanding a man's goals come second to a woman's is misandrinistic.
The concept that all one sex's goals broadly are secondary could be sexist. Or could be declared in a way intended to oppress. However, situationally the neither of the above perspectives are inherently sexist. Inconsiderate, sure; matter-of-fact, possibly; controlling, possibly; abusive, possibly. But we lack some important context.
I like how you think.
As for the ear you are correct cauliflower ear is the end result but that's not what she would have been looking for. If the ear is hit say in a MMA fight for example it swells up with blood(hematoma) due to damage to the small blood vessels. It's almost comical how much it does and it's very noticeable even for the untrained eye which makes the video of her supposedly be unconscious on the floor very telling. If she said it happened a different way it could possiably be explained away but it didn't remotely add up with her version of things. Making matters worse was the fact that she had been texting her sister a mere 7 min before this which is a tad hard to do if your unconscious.
It is really difficult to accept the account of her testimony without being able to observe her myself. I would like to hear an from the driver. There may be some truth from Majors's accusations about her drinking too much. She went out with strangers and drank. To me it sounds like an opportunity for self-soothing with alcohol rather than seeking refuge. Maybe the cross-examination will give some more clarity. BTW, I broke my finger at the 1st knuckle. It was extremely painful when I smashed it but I was able to type with it. (never treated, but to this day I cannot fully straighten it without some pressure on the fingertip.)
body builder movie? does she mean creed? a boxing movie? his ex didn't even pay attention wtf
From articles I read, I think it’s for a movie that hasn’t yet come out (and might even be on hold because of the trial)
She lie about her injuries so anything she says from on and now isn’t credible, I’m just waiting for the driver and the car video.
If it shows she’s the aggressor then this was an attack on a black man. Prosecutors should have drop it if that’s the case.
The statement about abuse victims feeling safer in public due to the lower probability of the abuser abusing them in public is true but i don't think that stands here because Majors was not with her at all after the alleged abuse ! He didn't go to the club with her and he didn't even go back to the home that they were sharing (at that time) that same night ! And he was in front of the driver when he allegedly attacked her so that statement doesn't help her here at all really because after them being in the car together where the alleged abuse took place she didn't see him for the rest of the night ! Only when Majors finally returned back to his home the next morning to find her passed out on the closet floor is when they resume contact with each other and HE calls the police ! And yes aggressors have called the cops as a ruse to get the suspicion off of them but think about it.....he hasn't seen her since the car ride so if he did abuse her then I'm sure he didn't know or think he hurt her like she alleges he did so he wasn't thinking of trying to throw the cops off he was just calling the cops because they obviously had some type of altercation that night due to the security camera footage showing him running away and her chasing him after attempting to grab him and he pulls away from her and because the scene she left in & on his room & bed and her saying she took some sleeping pills while obviously being drunk ! My point of saying all that was I'm pretty sure he wasn't thinking about it in that way of throwing the cops off because he chocked her and hit her upside the head ya know ! Which leads me to think he didn't abuse her because if he did and has a history of this why would he be the one running away in the video and her chasing him if he was the one to attack her and why would he be the one to not go back home...to his own house !? He would have just went home and made her find somewhere else to go that night ! And another point i think people are kinda glossing over is...if this attack was bad enough to bruise her neck & face and fracture he finger your telling me no one who witnessed this attack like the driver or the complete strangers she left with said "oh my gosh he his beating her ! I should call the cops !" The strangers she was with all night after the alleged abuse didn't say "do you want to call the cops" or "we think you should call the cops" nothing like that they didn't even try to get her to an emergency room but yet she has bruises and a fractured finger ! The only person to actually involve the cops in the situation is the so called abuser who caused the situation that sounds very unlikely to me !
Sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. I've known a lot of women, many of whom have been abused sometimes in the past. And I don't know a single case of a victim running after an abuser multiple times.
So what, maybe there was a quick scuffle and in it her finger was broken, but they were both at fault for the scuffle from surveillance. Closed case to me.
"They saved me" FOH...FREE KANG!!!!!!!!!!!
Jabbari going clubbing is also her trying to control, or hurt him. Shes not following his demands.?
These Marvel actors thinking they are changing the world by speaking other peoples words in pointless movies is astonishing narcissism
Yes, that was my takeaway, too.
He sounds like an insufferable narcissist. But that isn't illegal.

Can we please provide the rationale behind this diagnosis of narcissism.
It’s great to have medical professionals explaining their reasoning.
@@mhaka621 Lookup 'grandiose narcissism'
@@mhaka621 In my professional opinion as a doctor, I assume their reasoning is purely based on bigotry or bias. If he were a narcissist, she wouldn’t be confidently peddling her lies in court. Narcissists tend to be very good at manipulation, they prey on the weak and by all means lie better than their victims.
All I see is a man with boundaries, who got involved with a woman way below his status.
Its a bit rich her to be riled up over a simple text message, when she seems to love clubbing and possibly dancing with strangers in the club on the regular.
If your girlfriend keeps going to the club without you, then its not a relationship, because we all know how these “I have a boyfriend girls” act in the club after a few shots.
I know the trial is over, but I’m just binging this series. I can’t see so far how Majors was convicted…
Why does she take sleeping pills instead of pain pills that night??
If the driver testifys sits over with. Not guilty.
