Jonathan Majors Trial Features Revealing Text Messages

The Jonathan Majors trial is making headlines, and a key part of the story is the revealing text messages that have been made public.

Jonathan Majors allegedly sent a text message to his ex-girlfriend saying "I love you" and "I want to be with you", which contradicts his later claims of a consensual relationship.

Majors' defense team is likely to argue that these messages were just a normal part of a romantic relationship, but critics say they show a pattern of controlling behavior.

The text messages have also raised questions about Majors' claims of a "non-romantic" relationship with the woman, which he allegedly told her was "just a friendship."

Jonathan Majors threatened suicide during a September 2022 text exchange with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, according to new evidence from his ongoing assault trial.

The text messages, which were made public by the Manhattan District Attorney's office, show Majors writing "I will probably [k]ill myself. It's not really contemplating any more …I'm a monster. A horrible man. Not capable of love. I am killing myself soon. I've already put things in motion."

Majors claimed that Jabbari hadn't shown him love that morning, prompting the threat of self-harm.

In another text message, Majors told Jabbari that she "has to be of a certain mindset" to be his partner, like Coretta Scott King was for Martin Luther King Jr. and Michelle Obama is for former president Barack Obama.

The DA mentioned in their opening statements that it was a case of a "cruel and manipulative pattern of abuse Majors displayed towards Jabbari even before the March 2023 incident in NYC that led to his arrest and this trial."

Majors also tried convincing Jabbari not to go to the hospital in September 2022, writing "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."

Jabbari replied that she would tell the doctor she bumped her head if she went, and Majors seemed to be trying to manipulate her into hiding the truth.

He wrote in a text message that he's a "monster, a horrible man" and that he's "killing himself soon" after putting things in motion.

The messages seem to back up the allegations against Majors, with the DA describing a "cruel and manipulative pattern of abuse" Majors displayed towards Jabbari.

Majors also threatened suicide in another text message, stating "I will probably [k]ill myself" and that he's "already put things in motion."
