‘Creed III’ actor Jonathan Majors totes new girlfriend to court as he faces domestic violence charges

‘Creed III’ actor Jonathan Majors totes new girlfriend to court as he faces domestic violence charges

“Creed III” actor Jonathan Majors showed up to Manhattan court Tuesday clasping a Bible with one hand and actress girlfriend Meagan Good with the other for a hearing in the domestic-violence case against him.

Majors, who grinned at one point in court, didn’t say a word as the Manhattan judge set his trial date for Aug. 3.

The actor’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, later repeated his camp’s previous claims of innocence in the case, which involves him allegedly choking an ex-girlfriend during a March argument.

Chaudhry said her client is the real victim and “completely innocent,” adding in a statement released after court that she has handed over videos that showed ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari’s “frenzied attack” on the actor — and his attempts to run away.

The lawyer also said she gave photos of Majors’ injuries and torn clothing, which was a “direct consequence of Ms. Jabbari’s violent actions.

“Following this, we strongly requested the District Attorney dismiss all charges against Mr. Majors immediately and initiate proceedings against Ms. Jabbari, holding her accountable for her crimes,” Chaudry said in the statement.

Photographers snapped photos of the actor, Good and Chaudhry as they quickly left the courthouse after the brief proceeding.

Cops arrested the 33-year-old Marvel star three months ago in his Chelsea apartment near West 22nd Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhhattan after responding to a 911 call.

Authorities said Majors had gotten into a fight with Jabbari, his 30-year-old ex, and left her with minor injuries on her head and neck.

Cops brought her to the hospital and arrested Majors. He was initially arraigned on six counts of third degree assault, three counts of third degree attempted assault and two counts of harassment.

Police released him on his own recognizance, and the strangulation charge has since been dropped. But he still faces misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment.

Chaudry has previously said Jabbari was partying without Majors at a Manhattan night club just a half-hour after the alleged attack. Elevator footage showed her getting back to Majors’ apartment that morning apparently uninjured, the lawyer has said.

The actor allegedly found his ex unconscious in the closet several hours later with injuries Jabbari blamed on Majors.

Jabbari was granted a full temporary restraining order in April.
