The domestic assault trial of Jonathan Majors got underway in Manhattan on Monday with opening statements painting two very different pictures of the March 25 incident: While prosecutors sought to paint the Marvel actor as a serial abuser and manipulator who violently attacked his now-ex girlfriend, defense attorneys said she lost control and attacked him that night upon discovering that he had been unfaithful.
What led to the altercation was not in dispute, however: The couple ended the two-year relationship that night after the accuser, Grace Jabbari, saw a text message on his phone from another woman saying “Wish I was kissing you right now.”
