The Jonathan Majors court case continues where texts from the Marvel actor read out loud in court reveal a suicide threat and reference to a previous violent act.
Majors is facing up to a year behind bars if found guilty over an alleged physical assault on his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, back in March.
The texts from September 2022 were first started to be read out loud in court on Friday by Jabbari but she erupted in tears and couldn’t finish so the Assistant DA continued to read the texts out loud.
What do the texts say?
Majors says in the texts referencing an injury sustained by Jabbari, “I fear you have no perspective of what could happen if you go to the hospital. They will ask you questions, and as I don’t think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something.”
Jabbari replied, “I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I’m going to give it one more day, but I can’t sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That’s all: why would I tell them what really happened when it’s clear I want to be with you.”
The texts are said to refer to an incident that happened between the pair in London. While the judge previously sealed evidence deemed “prejudicial and inflammatory,” the judge allowed the texts because they seem to describe “conduct that is inextricably interwoven with the charged acts.”
Threats of suicide
The texts also reveal that Jonathan Majors threatened to commit suicide.
“Last night I considered killing myself versus coming home. I need love too. Or maybe I’m such a monster and horrible man, I don’t deserve it. And I should just kill myself. In this way, my existence is miserable. I want to die,” he wrote. “I’m a monster, a horrible man, not capable of love. I’m killing myself soon.”
Further texts from Jabbari reveal she told Majors she wouldn’t go to a doctor and understood his fear about an investigation, with Majors continuing the suicide threats.
“I will probably kill myself, it’s not really contemplating anymore,” wrote Majors.
Jabbari responded and told Majors she would have to “tell someone” if he continued making those kind of threats.
TMZ adds as the texts were being read in court, Majors reportedly kept his head lowered… but once they finished reading the texts, he glanced over at the jury.
