He said that the former couple took a private car service back to their apartment after attending a party in Brooklyn, Variety reports. Grace then saw a text message on Jonathan‘s phone from a woman named “Cleopatra” that read, “Wish I was kissing you right now.” Grace allegedly took the phone out of Jonathan‘s hand and the prosecutor claims that Jonathan then began grabbing the right side of Grace‘s body and prying her finger off the phone to get it back.

The prosecutor said that this caused Grace to have bruising, swelling, and substantial pain. “He intended to cause Grace Jabbari physical injury and, in fact, he did cause her physical injury,” the prosecutor asserted. Jonathan did not deny that the text message from another woman caused the alleged altercation, but his criminal defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry alleges that it was Grace who assault Jonathan, claiming that Grace ripped two buttons off his coat and teared off the pocket “with her bare hands.” After the alleged incident in the car, Grace allegedly ran into three strangers on the street, who invited her to go to a club.
