Jonathan Majors 'begged girlfriend not to seek medical attention after attack in texts
As Marvel star Jonathan Majors continues his trial, text messages in evidence seem to show him begging his girlfriend to avoid hospital so he wouldn't into trouble.
Marvel actor Jonathan Majors pleaded with his ex-girlfriend not to seek medical help after an incident that left her with a head injury last year.
In new text messages shown during the continuation of his domestic assault trial, Majors warned about the 'potential consequences if the truth came out'.
"They will ask you questions, and as I don't think you actually protect us, it could lead to an investigation even if you do lie and they suspect something," Majors texted ex Grace Jabbari on September 22, 2022.
Jabbari responded by saying she would tell doctors she bumped her head, and attempted to reassure him by responding: "Why would I tell them what really happened when it's clear I want to be with you?"
These messages were read out during the fifth day of Majors' trial in Manhattan.

The rising star is trying to save his reputation after being arrested for allegedly assaulting Jabbari in a separate incident months later in New York City.
The court didn't discuss how Jabbari got her injuries during the September fight in London.
The jury was told to consider these messages as "background" while they look at the assault and harassment charges related to Majors' alleged attack on Jabbari in a car on March 25th.
Prosecutors have said Majors exhibited a "cruel and manipulative pattern" of abuse, culminating with a backseat confrontation in which he struck her in the side of the head, twisted her arm behind her back, and broke her middle finger.

Majors' attorneys maintain that Jabbari was the instigator of the struggle.
During several days of grueling questioning this week, the defense pressed Jabbari about videos showing her partying in the aftermath of the alleged assault, as well as the vague statements about her injuries that she gave police and medical professionals on the morning after the March confrontation.
That line of questioning may have backfired as, in an unexpected decision on Friday, Judge Michael Gaffey said the defense's "aggressive" attempt to impugn Jabbari's character had "opened the door" to permitting text messages about the earlier altercation to be read aloud in court.
Those messages which were previously sealed showed Jabbari explaining to Majors that the recent head injury had left her unable to sleep and in need of a stronger painkiller. "I would not go to the doctor if you don't feel safe with me doing so," she adds.
Later in the conversation, Majors accuses Jabbari of "rejecting" his love, then repeatedly threatens to take his own life.
"I'm a monster, a horrible man," he wrote. "I am killing myself soon. I've already put things in motion."
While filming the second season of Disney+'s Loki, Majors and Jabbari were living together in London. Before his arrest, Majors was all set to play the main villain, Kang the Conqueror, in two future Avengers movies.
Now, it's unclear what will happen with those films and other projects he was part of.
