Majors stood trial for the assault on his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in November and December of 2023. Among the many pieces of evidence presented was a recording of Majors labeling himself a "great man" and comparing himself to Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama, while also demanding Jabbari act like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama. District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement after the ruling: "The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day. Today, a jury determined that the pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend. We thank the jury for its service and the survivor for bravely telling her story despite having to relive her trauma on the stand."
