Police Bodycam Footage

Insider has more about the NYPD footage:

NYPD body-worn camera video turned over to Chaudhry by prosecutors shows a disoriented-seeming Jabbari telling cops and paramedics that she had drank to the point of throwing up in the bed and had taken several sleeping “tablets,” the defense lawyer said in the letter. Jabbari had no idea why her finger was bruised and her ear was bloody, Chaudhry said in the letter, instead telling first responders “I don’t know” 19 times.

“She also asks, ‘What happened to my finger?’ to one of the cops when she was alone with him,” Chaudhry told Insider, saying that the police body-camera footage showed Jabbari looking down at her hand as if discovering the injury for the first time. Chaudhry said in the letter that Jabbari also told the officers “that she started a fight in the car because she saw a text from another girl, wanted to see his phone, and tried to grab his phone.”

“But then the cops keep asking her if he hit her, punched her,” Chaudhry told Insider. At one point in the body-camera footage, the cop who would end up swearing out the original assault complaint can be seen on the video touching his own throat several times while questioning what Majors “did,” as if coaching her, Chaudhry alleges in the letter. But the police videos do not show any visible injury to Jabbari’s neck, the lawyer said.

As alleged in an April 8 letter to Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Rachel S. Pauley, Chaudhry maintained that Jabbari had no injuries to her right hand or ear as she previously claimed and pointed out numerous occasions throughout the night after the alleged assault where Jabarri frequently used her hand with no problem. Chadhry also said that she suspected that medical records showed no injury to Jabbari’s neck, hence why the allegation that Majors “put his hand on her neck, causing bruising and substantial pain” had removed in the complaint and the strangulation charge had been dropped.

As noted by Insider, Chaudhry also maintained her earlier claim of racism on the part of the officers, citing bodycam footage of their “impressed faces” and commentary of the triplex penthouse, the alleged “coaching” that one officer was allegedly seen on camera doing to Jabbari to get her to say he strangled her, and their alleged unwillingness to look into Majors’ claims that he was the one who was actually assaulted.

As previously reported by The Root, in the aftermath of these allegations, Majors was dropped by both his management and PR team; ad campaigns with the U.S. Army and MLB’s Texas Rangers; as well as several upcoming movies, including an Otis Redding biopic and the adaptation of Walter Mosley’s novel, The Man In My Basement. Perhaps most notably, he has not been dropped by Marvel Studios and there has been no word yet on whether or not he’ll be replaced as its newest supervillain, Kang the Conqueror. He also reportedly faces more abuse allegations from “multiple women,” according to Variety.

Of Majors’ uncertain career status, Chaudhry said: “He’s heartbroken. He’s watching his career dangle in the wind. He wants this to go to trial yesterday.”
