Meagan Good clings to actor boyfriend Jonathan Majors in New York City the day before his domestic violence trial begins – as it’s revealed case may include ex-girlfriend’s testimony
Meagan Good was spotted clinging to her actor boyfriend Jonathan Majors in New York City – the day before his domestic violence trial was set to begin.
The Creed III actor is facing four charges of harassment and assault after being arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident with his former partner, Grace Jabbari.
Majors and actress Good, 42, were first spotted together in Los Angeles in April, just weeks after his arrest — and she was by his side during his court hearings in Manhattan.
On Tuesday, the pair snuggled up on the sidewalk in the Big Apple as Majors checked his phone. They were also seen eating at a restaurant beforehand.

Majors’ domestic violence trial is set to begin Wednesday and a judge is expected to reveal whether previously sealed evidence will be admitted into court.
The evidence is believed to be other women’s testimonies about their alleged abusive relationships with Majors — which could be used to prove that the suspect’s conduct is “inextricably intertwined with the acts charged,” Rolling Stone reports.
In June, the outlet reported that Majors had physically and/or emotionally abused two previous romantic partners.
Following the alleged ordeal in March this year, a wave of institutions and agents dropped the actor – and it caused problems with his upcoming work, particularly within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Earlier this year, Majors lost his request to dismiss his domestic violence charge, with the judge clearing the way for the case to go to trial.

Judge Michael Gaffey made the ruling during a court hearing in Manhattan. Majors attended via video link because he was out of state.
The Creed III actor was arrested on March 25 on suspicion of assaulting dancer Jabbari.
London-based Jabbari initially told police Majors had beaten and strangled her, but the strangulation charges were dropped. Now he’s only accused of hurting her arm after police noticed she suffered minor injuries from the alleged ordeal.
On September 12, his attorneys filed the motion, claiming the state withheld evidence that would prove Majors’ innocence. This was denied.
His legal team is trying to keep some material in the case sealed.
The messy proceedings were further thrown into disarray when Majors filed a cross-complaint against Jabbari, saying it was she who attacked him. An NYPD document was prepared warning officers that there was probable cause to arrest Jabbari in June.

Priya Chaudhry, Majors’ lawyer, has previously expressed her firm belief that her client Majors is innocent and that Jabbari should be arrested.
The opposing sides disagree on who the perpetrator of the March 25 event is.
According to court documents, the couple was sitting in a car when Jabbari saw a message on Majors’ phone that read, “I wish I kissed you right now.” She grabbed the phone, and Majors twisted her forearm and hit her ear.
She tried to get out of the car and he “knocked her back inside,” leaving her in “continuing significant pain, including a broken finger, bruising around her body, a laceration behind her right ear and a bump on her head,” according to the documents. stands.
Chaudhry requested an expedited trial date for Majors in June, in an effort to expedite the case.
Then on September 6, the plaintiffs said they were ready for trial and had filed a certificate of compliance. Majors’ lawyer claimed to have found flaws in the document.
This is why they filed a motion to dismiss, which has now been denied.
Grace Jabbari was also arrested in October for allegedly punching Majors after accusing the actor of assaulting her.
Grace Jabbari, 30, presented herself in Manhattan’s 10th district.
