Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari has thanked the domestic violence support organization that represented her in Majors’ assault trial, a day after the actor was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment.
“For my birthday, if you want… a donation to @sffny, a charity that has helped me so much this year, would be the best gift you could give,” the dancer and movement coach, 30, posted on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, tagging Sanctuary for Families New York. “Many thanks to @sffny, and everyone else… For everything.”
Beneath her message was a graphic that read: “New Yorkers: Get help today. Leave the abuse behind.” The graphic showed the names of two other organizations for support of victims of domestic violence, their phone numbers and working hours.

On Monday, Sanctuary for Families New York said it was “proud to have represented Ms. Jabbari throughout this process and will continue to support her on her journey to justice and healing” in a statement posted on Instagram.
Also included is a statement from Ross Kramer of Sanctuary for Family, who served as Jabbari’s attorney during the trial.
“We are pleased to see justice served with today’s guilty verdict,” Kramer, director of Sanctuary’s Incarcerated Gender Violence Survivors Initiative, said in a statement. “Ms. Jabbari testified publicly and truthfully, although reliving these traumatic events on the witness stand was clearly painful. We are grateful to the jurors and judge for their consideration and patience, and to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office for their hard work and support.”
After praising Jabbari’s “tremendous strength and resilience,” Kramer concluded, “Unfortunately, for every survivor like Ms. Jabbari who comes forward to hold her abuser accountable, there are many others who believe they cannot. We hope her actions will inspire other survivors to speak their truth and seek justice.”
