Jabbari testified Tuesday that Majors hit me “hard on the head,” opening a cut on his ear, and also grabbed his finger and twisted his arm during the altercation.
The next morning, police officers discovered her half naked inside Majors’ Chelsea apartment.
Jabbari said he had a hard time explaining the truth to police because he could hear the “Loki” star, who had called 911, in the next room.

“I wanted to say, ‘Please help me,’” he added from the stand.
Jabbari, who is white, also testified Wednesday that she did not report Majors’ alleged past violent episodes, which she detailed in her first day of testimony Tuesday, to authorities because he had spoken to her in the past about “not trusting in the police” and “What they would do to me if I were a black man.”
Majors’ defense attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has argued that the entire case hinges on Jabbari’s credibility.
During cross-examination Wednesday, Chaudhry asked Jabbari how many alcoholic drinks he had had on the night of the alleged assault, and suggested that Jabbari had tried to hide the extent of his intoxication from Majors.

Chaudhry asked Jabbari if he remembered Majors going to the bathroom before the couple left the restaurant.
After she said yes, the lawyer asked her if she remembered returning to the table and drinking the rest of the cocktail, before “putting away” the glass so Majors wouldn’t see it.
“I don’t remember,” Jabbari replied.
Jabbari later testified that, over several hours, he had two drinks at the theater, about three drinks at the restaurant, and then some champagne and one or two shots of tequila at a dance club he visited with strangers who offered to join him. take her dancing. after she told them that her boyfriend had cheated on her.
