Then Majors and his ex-girlfriend accused each other of assault, and he found his world dominated by courtroom drama.
Majors has denied the allegations, and the district attorney declared that the allegations against his ex-girlfriend lack “prosecutorial merit.”
The allegations between Majors, 34, and his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, 30, have played out in public, leading to a pause in his rapid rise to superstardom and drawing questions about his character at a time when American institutions say they are trying to take allegations of abuse more seriously.
