Jonathan Majors' ex-girlfriend took to the stand in his criminal trial where he has been accused of assaulting her.

The Loki star is on trial in Manhattan for allegedly assaulting Grace Jabbari, a movement coach he met on the set of Marvel film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

The pair were involved in a series of incidents, including Majors allegedly twisting her arm and striking her right ear.

Majors has denied any wrongdoing since his arrest in March, with his lawyers saying he was "provably innocent."

Jabbari has remained silent the entire time, until she took the stand in the trial on Wednesday as Majors watched on with new girlfriend, Meagan Good, and his family.

Jabbari described traveling in a private car with Majors in New York City when she saw a text appear on his phone that read, "Oh how I wish to be kissing you," and the actor replied by sending the D'Angelo song, "Lady."

She tried to snatch the cell phone from him, but she testified that he pried her finger from the phone, grabbed her arm and right hand, then twisted her forearm and struck her right ear, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Majors then ordered the car to stop, but when Jabbari tried to exit, he picked her up and threw her back into the vehicle.

Jabbari explained she then went out with some friends who saw what happened and tried to comfort her. When she returned back to the apartment her and Majors were staying in, she told the court she took two sleeping pills to try and help with the pain, but became sick and stayed in the bathroom for hours.

When she woke up, she saw police standing around her and learned Majors had found her in the bathroom and presumed she had tried to self-harm, so called 911. Jabbari denied trying to hurt herself and was reluctant to tell police where her injuries had come from.

"I alluded to it in the safest way I felt possible," Jabbari said. "I could hear Jonathan in the next room."

She explained she was "worried" about Majors and didn't realize he could be charged over their altercation.

"I always felt guilty for the fact that he was there in a way," Jabbari said. "I just wanted to reassure him that I didn't tell them to arrest him."

Priya Chaudhry, the attorney representing Majors, then cross-examined Jabbari and asked about her level of intoxication that evening. Jabbari had previously told the prosecution she was no more than "tipsy" and felt "excruciating pain" from her injuries.

Chaudhry also questioned Jabbari about grabbing Majors' jacket on the night.

Prosecutors asked Jabbari to describe how the incident and impending criminal trial had affected her personally to which she replied, "extremely negatively."

"It's just been a lot of unwanted attention over a really difficult period of my life. One I would like to keep quite private," Jabbari said.

Majors is charged with two counts of assault in the third degree, aggravated harassment and attempted assault and if found guilty could face up to 12 months in jail.
