Jonathan Majors’ Driver Claims The Actor “Was Not Doing Anything” During Alleged Attack, Says Accuser “Was Doing Everything” 

On Monday, the driver present on the night of Jonathan Majors and Grace Jabbari’s alleged fight testified in the ongoing misdemeanor assault trial involving the actor.

Prosecutors said the driver described Majors as throwing Jabbari “like a football,” but during the trial, the driver, Naveed Sarwar, speaking through an Urdu interpreter, did not make those comments.

“He was not doing anything,” Sarwar said of the actor, referencing the incident in the car that night. “She was doing everything.”

According to PEOPLE, Majors is facing charges of third-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury, third-degree assault recklessly causing physical injury, second-degree aggravated harassment, and second-degree harassment.

During four days of testimony last week, Jabbari detailed her relationship with Majors, stating that he often exhibited “rage and aggression.”

She recounted a specific incident on March 25, where, after a night out, she discovered a flirtatious text on Majors’s phone. In response, she grabbed the phone, leading to a physical altercation inside their hired car. According to Jabbari, Majors twisted her arm, and as she tried to protect herself, she felt a forceful blow to her head.

Following the incident, Jabbari sought medical attention the next day, revealing a hairline fracture in her middle finger and a cut to her ear.

Throughout the testimony, she portrayed a pattern of Majors’ anger in their year-and-a-half-long relationship, culminating in this physical altercation.

Facing potential jail time, Majors has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During the trial, the defense questioned Jabbari without enough detail, allowing prosecutors to present text messages where Majors seemed to admit to physically attacking her in a previous altercation.

On Monday, Assistant DA Michael Perez asked the driver if he had seen Jabbari “hitting the defendant,” to which Sarwar, who said he was looking straight ahead and describing interactions only as they sounded to him, said, “Many things were happening, I had the feeling the girl had hit the boy.”

During the driver’s testimony, the judge repeatedly emphasized, “You can only testify to what is happening, not what you think happened.”

Speaking through his interpreter, Sarwar said that he had stopped the car at one point, and Majors had gotten out: “He was trying to get rid of her.”

“Please keep your opinions to yourself,” Perez directed the witness.

“He was trying to get rid of her,” Sarwar repeated. “He was saying, ‘Leave me alone, I have to go.'”

“He was not doing anything,” Sarwar said shortly after. “She was doing everything.”

Sarwar also noted that Majors was “trying to throw her in the car” when Jabbari had attempted to follow him. “He was trying to push her into the car,” he said, adding that the couple had eventually “both left” on foot.

Dr. William Chiang, a medical witness, stated that Grace Jabbari’s injuries were consistent with her account but later said the finger injury was inconsistent with being twisted during cross-examination.
