At times he looked away indignantly and rubbed his eyes, curled his lips up and looked back at his girlfriend Meagan Good in the public gallery for support.<\/p>\n<p>Good shook her head as videos showed Majors running away from Jabbari after the alleged attack.<\/p>\n<p>Jabbari said the evening of the attack in March this year she and Majors had been to see a play in Brooklyn and had dinner and were driving home in a hired car.<\/p>\n<p>As Majors scrolled on his phone, Jabbari saw he had sent a \u2018romantic\u2019 song by rapper D\u2019Angelo to somebody.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018I said who have you sent that to, jokingly. A message popped up saying I wish I was kissing you right now or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t really say anything and the next message popped up oh it\u2019s not what it looks like. I was like I don\u2019t know how else that looks? I was so taken aback\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Jabbari admitted she spoke in a \u2018loud\u2019 voice.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018Our whole relationship I never considered infidelity to be one of the things that was also happening. (I said) What is that?<\/p>\n<p>(He said) it\u2019s not what it seems, baby baby. Baby, it\u2019s not what it seems<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He was really alert, like he\u2019d been caught out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was saying let me see the messages and he wasn\u2019t so I grabbed his phone and turned away from him\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Moving her shoulder to the left and pulling her hands down, she said: \u2018I really easily grabbed it, like he wasn\u2019t expecting me to take it<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I turned away from him. I was trying to see the message and I could just see his home screen.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I felt a heavy thud on top of me, what I knew to be the weight of him and trying to pry the phone out of my fingers but I was going into protective mode. I curled over and felt him yank my arm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He was trying to pry the phone out of my hands. When that wasn\u2019t successful he put his arm behind my back\u2019, putting her right arm behind her back\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Jabbari said Majors began \u2018peeling\u2019 her fingers off the phone and was \u2018twisting my arm, my hand\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>(He was) trying to make me feel pain. Just felt excruciating\u2019, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Next I felt a really hard blow across my head\u2019 making a swiping motion over the back right side of her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It took me aback. I was in pain but I was thinking who is this girl?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I said just show me it, if it\u2019s nothing. Are you cheating on me? I was upset, confused, he has his arms out. He was pressing me everywhere it could reach it felt\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Jabbari couldn\u2019t fend off Majors because he was \u2018very strong\u2019. \u2018I couldn\u2019t move\u2019, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He was using his hands and his arms to force me. Everywhere, my face, my arms, my neck, my chest. Head\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I tried to hit his arms away, I was hitting like that\u2019, using both arms to indicate she slapped him.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if she scratched Majors, Jabbari said no.<\/p>\n<p>Majors ordered the driver to stop and then turned around and pushed her back into the car, Jabbari said<\/p>\n<p>The jury were shown security camera footage of the car stopped in the middle of the street.<\/p>\n<p>Majors can be seen lifting Jabbari up and putting her back in the car as she tries to get out.<\/p>\n<p>He walks to the sidewalk then runs off, with Jabbari running after him.<\/p>\n<p>Describing what was happening, Jabbari said: \u2018He was trying to make me stay in the car, trying to push me. My body felt very light in his hands so it felt just that he was forcing me to stay in his car. He was holding me with (his arms). My arms were by my body.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He was running away. I couldn\u2019t work out why I followed. I wanted to hear &#8211; literally that morning we\u2019re talking about when we\u2019re getting married, the names of our children and he\u2019s running away instead of saying actually I\u2019ve had an affair. It was silence and bolting out the door\u2026I was really heartbroken\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Jabbari said she felt \u2018sad\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u2018Everything I knew to be true was not\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/22\/78605833-12828017-As_the_court_came_into_session_on_Tuesday_Majors_sat_at_a_table_-a-34_1701814013740.jpg\" height=\"795\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>As the court came into session on Tuesday, Majors sat at a table with his lawyers reading a Bible he brought with him<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/22\/78605843-12828017-Grace_Jabbari_s_sister_arrives_at_court_wearing_a_camel_colored_-a-33_1701814013654.jpg\" height=\"482\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Grace Jabbari&#8217;s sister arrives at court wearing a camel-colored coat<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/22\/78560511-12828017-Jonathan_Majors_left_and_his_girlfriend_Meagan_Good_held_hands_a-a-35_1701814013741.jpg\" height=\"851\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Majors, left, and his girlfriend Meagan Good held hands as they entered court on Monday<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/22\/78558523-12828017-Creed_actor_Majors_walked_into_the_Manhattan_court_on_Monday_wea-a-36_1701814013772.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Creed actor Majors walked into the Manhattan court on Monday wearing a dark suit, sunglasses, black boots and a black beret &#8211; carrying a Bible and a notebook<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors had previously detailed how Majors attacked Jabbari to \u2018cover up his infidelity\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Emmy-nominated Majors is said to have got into a row with Jabbari as they returned from a New York City bar when she saw a text from another woman which read: \u2018Wish I was kissing you right now\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his opening statement, prosecutor Michael Perez said the assault came after Majors subjected Jabbari to months of a &#8216;cruel and manipulative pattern of psychological and physical abuse&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged abuse included throwing things at the wall and berating her for not living up to the standards of Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King, the wife of Martin Luther King.<\/p>\n<p>Majors has strongly denied the allegations and his lawyers said that Jabbari was the one who attacked him as they rode home, then chased him through the streets of Manhattan when he exited their car.<\/p>\n<p>Jabbari did it in &#8216;revenge&#8217; for finding out that Majors had been texting another woman, the jury was told.<\/p>\n<p>Majors\u2019 lawyer Priya Chaudhry said: &#8216;This is the case about the end of a relationship, not a crime.
