Assistant District Attorney Michael Perez claimed that the actor “demanded total compliance” from Jabbari. Perez also alleged that Majors exhibited a “cruel and manipulative pattern of psychological abuse.” If his needs weren’t met, the Ant-Man actor would allegedly become enraged, shouting at Jabbari or flinging objects at her. CBS New York reports that Jabbari began crying as she recalled a specific incident. She alleged Majors threw “glass candles” at her head when she attempted to console him. Grace claimed he stopped talking to her “for days” because she attended a music festival. Lastly, she revealed that he grew jealous after she mentioned an ex-boyfriend and scolded her.
