"Succession" star Alan Ruck might be out of the woods with cops for his pizza shop truck crash, but he's being dragged to court by the driver of one of the vehicles he collided with before driving through a building.
According to a lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Horacio Vela says he was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Hollywood Blvd and La Brea Ave Halloween night. Vela claims Ruck was waiting directly behind him in his 2023 Rivian truck in the line of traffic.
Without warning, Vela says Ruck slammed into the back of his Hyundai while the light was still red, pushing him into oncoming traffic and causing Vela to collide with another vehicle.
As we reported ... Ruck's vehicle continued on, slamming into Raffalo's pizza and causing significant damage.

Vela says he suffered, "severe injuries and damages" as a result of the crash ... and was immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance to get checked out.
While he doesn't get specific ... Vela also states the crash left him with "property damage, costs of past and future medical care, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, and other consequential damages."
10/31/23
Video from the crash showed Ruck's Rivian accelerate without warning while it was stopped at a red light, cops say he was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol ... and chalked the whole thing up to an accident.
We got Ruck out following the crash, but he didn't say much.
We reached out to Ruck's team about the lawsuit ... so far, no word back.

Jamie Lynn Spears Mum on Britney Reconciliation ... Sends Season's Greetings
Britney Spears appears to be on the precipice of a mass reconciliation with her whole family -- but from the way Jamie Lynn Spears sounded Wednesday ... maybe not???
Brit's younger sibling was asked a bunch of questions about the family dynamic at LAX, and unfortunately ... she wasn't in a very chatty mood, opting to stay mum on pretty much all talk about her sister -- including the possibility of her burying the hatchet once and for all.
We'll give the cameraperson credit here ... trying to get her to open up every which way, but JLS clammed up and simply wouldn't budge. She gives a Merry Xmas though, FWIW.
Of course, regardless of Jamie Lynn's silence ... we know for a fact Britney wanted her at her birthday party this past weekend, which their mom Lynne actually ended up attending -- the first real signs of warming we've seen from Britney toward her family.
Like we told you ... not only is Brit apparently open to making amends with Jamie Lynn, but there's evidence she's keeping the window open to repairing her relationship with her father, Jamie, as well.
TMZ broke the story ... we'd recently learned Jamie had his leg amputated due to ongoing health issues, and it would appear Britney caught wind of that update too -- 'cause she posted a throwback photo of the two of them shortly thereafter.
Again, hard to gauge what Jamie Lynn's non-talking here really means -- it could suggest the sisters aren't any closer to mending fences than they were a year ago ... or, by contrast, it could also mean she's protecting Britney's privacy and they're on the road to reconciliation.
At the very least, Mama Bear is in her corner ... and that's a good start, we suppose. We'll see if the rest of the Spears brood hops aboard the love train -- for now, mum's the word.

Jamie Lynn Spears calla sobre la reconciliación con su hermana
Britney Spears parece estar cerca de una reconciliación con toda su familia, pero por la forma en que Jamie Lynn Spears sonaba el miércoles... tal vez no sea del todo cierto.
Le hicieron un montón de preguntas a la hermana menor de Brit acerca de la dinámica de la familia en LAX (Aeropuerto de Los Ángeles) y por desgracia, ella no estaba con el mejor de los ánimos, optando por permanecer en silencio.
Hay que darle crédito al camarógrafo, ya que hizo todo lo posible para que Jamie hablara, aunque los esfuerzos fueron en vano. Sin embargo, envió unos cariñosos saludos navideños.
Independiente del silencio de Jamie Lynn, sabemos a ciencia cierta que Britney la quería en su fiesta de cumpleaños el pasado fin de semana. Fue su madre —Lynne— quien terminó asistiendo, estos fueron los primeros signos reales de acercamiento que hemos visto de parte de Britney hacia su familia.
Como informamos, Brit no solo está dispuesta a hacer las paces con Jamie Lynn, sino que también con su relación con su padre, Jamie.
TMZ publicó la historia, descubrimos que recientemente Jamie tuvo que amputar su pierna debido a problemas de salud y parece que Britney se enteró de esto, ya que publicó una foto con él.
Una vez más, es difícil saber la razón por la que Jamie Lynn no habló con nosotros. Podría significar que las hermanas no están tan bien como creíamos, o por el contrario, también podría significar que está protegiendo la privacidad de Britney y que están en el camino de la reconciliación.
Al menos Mamá Osa está de su lado y suponemos que es un buen comienzo. Veremos si el resto de la prole Spears se sube al tren del amor.

Drew Carey Ex-Fiancee's Murderer ... Sentenced to Life in Prison
The man convicted in the murder of Drew Carey's ex-fiancee was just sentenced to spend the rest of his days behind bars ... more than 3 years after she fell to her death.
Gareth Pursehouse was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Wednesday after he was convicted of killing Dr. Amie Harwick ... where a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder with a special circumstance allegation after a trial in September.
Prosecutors alleged he broke into Harwick's home in February of 2020 and waited for her to return before attacking ... and ultimately threw her off a third-story balcony.
The prosecution said his crime stemmed from not being able to get over their prior relationship -- which had ended years ago. Interestingly, Harwick had apparently expressed fear to friends and confidantes over Pursehouse not long before she died.
Pursehouse's defense team acknowledged in court he had, in fact, illegally entered Harwick's house that night -- but argued that he never intended to kill her ... claiming Harwick might've climbed over the balcony herself and fell on her own, noting the prosecution hadn't definitively proven their client was the one who threw her off. Obviously, the jury disagreed.
TMZ broke the story ... Pursehouse was arrested quickly after Harwick's death, and investigators pinpointed him as the prime suspect with the help of surveillance video.
As for Drew, he and Hawick had been engaged in 2018 but ended their relationship less than a year later. Still, he was devastated by her murder -- and attended her wake.

El asesino de la ex prometida de Drew Carey condenado a cadena perpetua
El hombre condenado por el asesinato de la ex prometida de Drew Carey, acaba de ser sentenciado a pasar el resto de sus días entre rejas. Esto ocurre tres años después del terrible incidente.
Gareth Pursehouse fue condenado a cadena perpetua sin posibilidad de libertad condicional el miércoles después de ser declarado culpable de matar a la doctora Amie Harwick. Un jurado lo declaró culpable de asesinato en primer grado con una alegación de circunstancia especial después de un juicio en septiembre.
Los fiscales alegaron que irrumpió en la casa de Harwick en febrero de 2020 y esperó a que ella regresara antes de atacar. Finalmente, la arrojó por un balcón del tercer piso.
La fiscalía dijo que su crimen se derivó de no poder superar su relación anterior, que había terminado hace años. Curiosamente, Harwick aparentemente había expresado su temor a amigos y confidentes sobre Pursehouse no mucho antes de su muerte.
El equipo de defensa de Pursehouse reconoció en la corte que, de hecho, había entrado ilegalmente en la casa de Harwick esa noche, pero argumentó que nunca tuvo la intención de matarla, alegando que Harwick podría haber subido por el balcón por sí misma y cayó por su cuenta, señalando que la fiscalía no había demostrado definitivamente que su cliente fue quien la arrojó. Obviamente, el jurado no estuvo de acuerdo.
TMZ publicó la historia, Pursehouse fue arrestado rápidamente luego de la muerte de Harwick y los investigadores lo señalaron como el principal sospechoso con la ayuda de un video de vigilancia.
En cuanto a Drew, él y Hawick se habían comprometido en 2018 pero terminaron su relación menos de un año después. Aun así, estaba devastado por su asesinato y asistió a su funeral.

Ahora debe volver a presentarse para otra audiencia del caso a finales del próximo mes.

Las autoridades alegaron que tras el asesinato, Brown se arrancó a México, donde fue visto de fiesta y bailando aparentemente sin preocupaciones en un club de Tulum.
Finalmente, Brown fue extraditado y detenido y más tarde fue transportado a Illinois para hacer frente a los cargos.
Actualmente, está detenido tras las rejas y sin derecho a fianza.

Authorities alleged that following the killing, Brown hightailed it to Mexico -- where he was seen partying and dancing seemingly without a care in the world at a Tulum club.
Brown was eventually extradited and arrested ... and later transported to Illinois to face the charges.
He's currently being held behind bars without bail.

Diddy New Sexual Assault Lawsuit ... Accuser Was 17, Claims She Was Gang Raped
Diddy's just been hit with a slew of new heinous allegations ... from an anonymous accuser who says she was still in high school when he, and others, sex trafficked her and gang raped her.
The lawsuit, filed by Jane Doe in federal court, alleges she met Bad Boy Entertainment President Harve Pierre in 2003 in the Detroit area, where Pierre allegedly called her "hot," dropped Diddy's name and invited her to jump on a private jet to go meet the mogul. The accuser says she was a 17-year-old, still in the 11th grade, when this meeting happened.
She says she accepted the invitation and ended up in NYC, where she met Diddy in a studio -- there was a recording session going on -- and she claims he invited her to sit in his lap ... and then they began plying her with drugs and alcohol.
The accuser included photos of that studio meeting in the lawsuit ... and you do see someone sitting on his lap. She's blurred her face in the images.
She says everything's a blur after that, but she remembers Diddy taking her into a bathroom where he penetrated her from behind as she was bent over a sink. She says she didn't consent to having sex. The accuser also claims Pierre and another man who she doesn't name ... also had forced sex with her during this night in the studio.
She claims she ended up in the fetal position on the bathroom floor -- and was eventually escorted out of the studio and flown back to Michigan.
This accuser says she suffered silently for 20 years, and although she knew speaking out would be difficult ... but felt confidence after seeing Cassie and several other women share similar allegations against Diddy.
The suit alleges Diddy violated NY State's Victims of Gender-Motivated-Violence Protection Law ... which has expanded the statute of limitations.
Diddy reacted swiftly to the filing, telling TMZ ... "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.
Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth."

Diddy recibe una nueva demanda por agresión sexual Denunciante dice que tenía 17 años
Diddy acaba de ser sorprendido con una serie de nuevas acusaciones atroces, provenientes de una acusadora anónima que dice haber estado todavía en la escuela secundaria cuando él, y otros la violaron en grupo.
La demanda, presentada por Jane Doe en un tribunal federal, alega que conoció al presidente de Bad Boy Entertainment, Harve Pierre, en 2003 en el área de Detroit, donde Pierre supuestamente la llamó "caliente", dejó caer el nombre de Diddy y la invitó a pasear en un jet privado para ir a reunirse con el magnate. La acusadora dice que tenía 17 años y estaba en 11º curso cuando se produjo el encuentro.
Ella dice que aceptó la invitación y terminó en Nueva York, donde se reunió con Diddy en un estudio. Había una sesión de grabación en curso y ella afirma que la invitó a sentarse en su regazo y luego comenzó a consumir drogas y alcohol.
La acusadora incluyó fotos de esa reunión en el estudio en la demanda y se ve a alguien sentado en su regazo. Ella ha difuminado su cara en las imágenes.
Dice que todo está borroso después de eso, pero recuerda que Diddy la llevó a un cuarto de baño donde la penetró por detrás mientras ella estaba inclinada sobre un lavabo. Dice que no dio su consentimiento para mantener relaciones sexuales. La acusadora también afirma que Pierre y otro hombre que no nombra, también tuvieron relaciones sexuales forzadas con ella durante esa noche en el estudio.
Ella afirma que terminó en posición fetal en el piso del baño y finalmente fue escoltada fuera del estudio y voló de regreso a Michigan.
Esta acusadora dice que sufrió en silencio durante 20 años y sabía que hablar sería difícil, pero sintió confianza después de ver a Cassie y varias otras mujeres compartir acusaciones similares contra Diddy.
La demanda alega que Diddy violó la Ley de Protección de Víctimas de Violencia de Género del Estado de Nueva York.
Diddy reaccionó rápidamente, diciendole a TMZ que: "YA ES SUFICIENTE. Durante las últimas dos semanas, me he sentado en silencio y he visto a la gente tratar de asesinar mi imagen, destruir mi reputación y mi legado.
Acusaciones repugnantes se han hecho contra mí por individuos que buscan un día de pago rápido. Permítanme ser absolutamente claro: yo no he hecho ninguna de las cosas horribles que se alegan. Lucharé por mi nombre, por mi familia y por la verdad".
Jonathan Majors Juicio por agresión entra en su tercera jornada Jabbari será interrogada
Actualización
10:50 AM PT -- El interrogatorio de Grace Jabbari comenzó esta tarde y desde el principio, la abogada defensora de Jonathan Majors, Priya Chaudhry, trató de pintar a la presunta víctima como alguien que estaba en constante disputa con su ex y que además tenía problemas con el alcohol.
Al parecer, Chaudhry le hizo una serie de preguntas sobre su conocimiento de los antecedentes de Majors -profesionales o de otro tipo- y sobre si alguna vez tuvo un álbum de fotos del actor, aunque no está claro cómo respondió a estas preguntas. Al parecer, también dedicó bastante tiempo para preguntarle sobre su preparación del juicio con los fiscales y si había recibido instrucciones de respuestas predeterminadas, cosa que negó.
También se dice que Chaudhry le preguntó por sus hábitos con el alcohol, incluyendo si había bebido mucho la noche en cuestión, por no mencionar otras ocasiones en las que Jabbari podría haber recurrido al alcohol a lo largo de su relación con Jonathan Majors.
Chaudhry parece haber conseguido que Jabbari reconozca que, en ocasiones, recurría a la bebida durante las discusiones con Majors. Aún no ha llegado a la noche en cuestión, pero Chaudhry está trabajando en ello. Ahora están en un descanso para comer y su interrogatorio continuará esta tarde.
El juicio por agresión de Jonathan Majors se dirige hacia su tercera jornada y la mujer que lo denuncia, Grace Jabbari, volverá al estrado, pero esta vez los abogados de Majors tendrán la oportunidad de interrogarla sobre el presunto ataque.
La exnovia del actor, que es la testigo estrella de la fiscalía en el caso, está lista para el interrogatorio de la defensa el miércoles. Esto, después de que testificara el martes sobre su perspectiva del incidente que los ha llevado a los tribunales.
Jabbari, en particular, respaldó la afirmación de los fiscales de que fue víctima esa fatídica noche en marzo, cuando Majors fue detenido y finalmente acusado de asalto y acoso.
Jonathan Majors es detenido por agredir a una mujer en Nueva York. Él lo niega
Temprano el miércoles, Jabbari testificó que había tomado dos pastillas de venta libre para dormir la noche del presunto asalto. Dice que por eso acabó dormida y semidesnuda en el suelo del baño del apartamento de Jonathan y que cuando se despertó la policía ya estaba de pie junto a ella y podía oír al actor en la habitación contigua.
El actor se ha declarado inocente todo este tiempo. Él y sus abogados insisten en que él fue la persona que fue atacada esa noche y no al revés. Los fiscales, sin embargo, contaron una historia diferente en su declaración de apertura e insistieron en que Jabbari estuvo en una relación abusiva con el chico, que explotó esa noche en el carro.
Jabbari reiteró esa versión en el estrado, explicando que sorprendió a Jonathan Majors enviándole mensajes de texto a otra mujer y que se enfrentó con él por eso. Le quitó su teléfono y luego él la maltrató para recuperarlo. Ella también testificó que cuando trató de huir del carro, él la agarró y la arrojó al interior nuevamente. Se ha informado que esto aparece en el video de vigilancia que la fiscalía mostró a los miembros del jurado.
Después de su riña, Jabbari dice que fue a una fiesta con personas que acababa de conocer para distraerse. Hay fotos y videos que la muestran ilesa en el club. Al respecto, Jabbari testificó que en realidad estaba herida y resintiendo sus heridas.
Hubo otros momentos incendiarios en su primer día en el estrado, incluyendo una grabación de una discusión que tuvo con Majors, en la que al parecer la instó a ser más como Coretta Scott King y Michelle Obama, mientras gritaba "¡Soy un gran hombre!".
Jabbari también afirmó que Majors había sido agresivo con ella en el pasado. Dijo que una vez perdió los estribos después de que ella sacara a relucir al perro de su exnovio.
Majors se quedó con cara de piedra durante el testimonio de Jabbari. Ahora sus abogados tendrán la oportunidad de interrogarla y desmontar su historia.
En algún momento, los fiscales presumiblemente llamarán a otros testigos, incluyendo el conductor del carro privado en el que anduvieron esa noche, el que sería el único material y presumiblemente el único testigo imparcial del conflicto entre Majors y Jabbari.
Jonathan Majors Assault Trial Enters Day 3 Jabbari's Cross-Examination Begins
update
2:26 PM PT -- Grace Jabbari's cross-examination continued this afternoon, and attorney Priya Chaudhry continued to question Jabbari's alcohol consumption -- including during the day/night in question. Chaudhry also asked why some injuries didn't appear as prominent when she finally got with cops ... and Jabbari said she'd cleaned herself up a bit after arriving at his place that night.
One highlight during cross ... Chaudhry attempted to ask Jabbari about the suicide of an ex-boyfriend of hers, and that made Jabbari burst into tears and require a break. Chaudhry went on to ask her questions about her visa status ... and also asked if she'd seen the security videos/photos of her partying that night -- to which Jabbari accused Chaudhry of "posting."
It appears today's court session is wrapping, and Jabbari's cross should continue tomorrow.
10:50 AM PT -- Grace Jabbari's cross-examination got underway this afternoon -- and right out the gate, Jonathan Majors' defense attorney Priya Chaudhry tried to paint the alleged victim as someone who was constantly feuding with her ex, and who had problems with alcohol to boot.
Chaudhry is reported to have asked a series of questions about her knowledge of Majors' background -- professional or otherwise -- and whether she once had a photo album of Majors' pics ... although it's unclear how Jabbari responded to these. Chaudhry also apparently spent a fair amount of time asking Jabbari about her trial prep with prosecutors, and whether she'd been instructed on pre-determined answers ... which Jabbari denied.
Chaudhry is also reported to have asked quite a bit about Jabbari's past drinking habits -- including whether she was downing a lot of booze during the night in question ... not to mention other times Jabbari might've resorted to alcohol throughout her relationship with JM.
Chaudhry appears to have gotten Jabbari to acknowledge she would, at times, resort to drinking during arguments with Majors. She hasn't gotten to the night in question yet, but Chaudhry is working her way there. They're on a lunch break now, and her cross-examination will continue later this afternoon.
Jonathan Majors' assault trial is heading into its third day and his accuser, Grace Jabbari, will be back on the stand -- but this time his attorney will have a chance to grill her about the alleged attack.
The actor's ex-girlfriend -- who is the prosecution's star witness in the case -- is all set for cross-examination from the defense Wednesday ... this after testifying Tuesday about her POV of the incident that's landed them in court.
Most notably, Jabbari backed prosecutors' assertion she was victimized that fateful night in March -- when Majors was arrested and ultimately charged with assault and harassment.
Jonathan Majors Arrested for Assaulting Woman in NYC, He Denies It
Early Wednesday, she testified she'd taken 2 over-the-counter sleeping tablets on the evening of the alleged assault. She says that's why she ended up asleep, and half-naked on the bathroom floor at Jonathan's apartment -- and when she woke up, police were standing over her and she could hear Jonathan in the adjacent room.
He's pled not guilty, and this entire time ... he and his attorneys have insisted he was the one who was attacked that night -- not the other way around. Prosecutors, however, told a different story in their opening statement ... insisting Jabbari had been in an abusive relationship with the guy, which boiled over in brutality in a private car they were in.
Jabbari reiterated that while on the stand, telling her side of the story by explaining she caught JM texting another woman and confronted him about it -- snatching his phone away, and then claiming he roughed her up in an attempt to get it back. She also testified that when she tried to flee the car, he grabbed her and threw her inside again ... something that was reportedly depicted in surveillance video that the prosecution played for jurors in court.
After their squabble ... Jabbari says she went to a party with strangers she'd just met in an attempt to take her mind off things -- and while she's appeared uninjured in photos and videos showing her at the club, GB testified she was actually hurt and licking her wounds.
There were other bombshell moments during her 1st day on the stand, including a recording she'd once taken of Majors during an argument -- in which he apparently called upon her to be more like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama, while shouting "I'm a great man!"
Jabbari also claimed Majors had been aggressive with her in the past, including one alleged time when she says he lost it on her after she brought up her ex-boyfriend's doggo.
Majors remained stone-faced during Jabbari's testimony, which will now pivot to her being questioned by his defense attorneys -- who will undoubtedly try to pick apart her story.
At some point, prosecutors will presumably call other witnesses -- including the driver of their private car that night ... who would be the only material, and presumably unbiased, witness to Majors and Jabbari's conflict.

Bam Margera finalmente consiguió la luz verde para ver a su hijo, esto después de cruzar recientemente un gran hito en la sobriedad y tiene planes para ver al niño para la Navidad. TMZ ha iondagado.
David Glass —el abogado que representa a la esposa separada de Bam, Nikki— nos dice que la ex estrella de "Jackass" ha concedido visitas supervisadas para ver a su hijo pequeño, Phoenix. Se nos dice Bam puede ver Phoenix con un supervisor profesional siempre y cuando sea en el sur de California, que es donde Nikki vive con el niño.
Glass dice que ni él ni su cliente han sido informados acerca de cualquier fecha potencial para Bam ver Phoenix, aunque nos dicen lo contrario por Bam.
El propio Margera le dice a TMZ que no ha visto a Phoenix en persona desde hace más de 200 días y está decidido a visitar a su hijo justo alrededor de Navidad... nos informan que pasa a ser el cumpleaños del niño también.
Bam dice que esto es desde hace mucho tiempo, ya que afirma que sólo se ha permitido FT llamadas con Phoenix hasta ahora - y como tal, Papá Oso está todo listo para conducir a Cali para pasar algún tiempo de calidad con él. Nos dicen que Bam viene con un saco lleno de regalos, también, para Phoenix.
Al parecer, Bam había comprado $ 5,000 en regalos para su hijo - pero debido a todo el drama legal últimamente, no ha sido capaz de darles a Phoenix todavía ... aunque, Bam dice que va a recoger estos juguetes de la casa de un amigo en Burbank cuando llegue a la ciudad.
Como hemos informado, Bam recientemente logró estar más de 100 días sobrio, lo cual es una gran victoria para él en muchos aspectos. Bam nos dice que el juez en su caso de divorcio ha estado monitoreando este progreso cuidadosamente y pareciera que la decisión de concederle visitas se debe a su sobriedad.
Ahora todo lo que tiene que hacer es llamar a Nikki y contarle sus planes. 😅

Bam Margera finally got the green light to see his son -- this after recently crossing a huge milestone in sobriety -- and he has plans to see the boy for Christmas ... TMZ has learned.
David Glass -- the attorney repping Bam's estranged wife, Nikki -- tells us the former "Jackass" star has, indeed, been granted monitored visitation with their young son, Phoenix. We're told Bam can see Phoenix with a professional supervisor if/when he's in Southern California ... which is where Nikki lives with the kid.
As of right now, however, Glass says neither he nor his client have been informed about any potential dates for Bam to see Phoenix.
BM himself tells TMZ ... since he hasn't seen Phoenix in person for well over 200 days now, he's dead set on visiting his son right around Christmas -- which we're told happens to be the kid's birthday as well.
Bam says this is long overdue, as he claims to have only been allowed FT calls with Phoenix up until now -- and as such, Papa Bear is going to be flying into Los Angeles this month for an event and wants to spend some quality time with him. We're told Bam's coming with a sack full of presents, too, for Phoenix.
Apparently, Bam had purchased $5,000 worth of gifts for his kid -- but because of all the legal drama lately, he hasn't been able to give them to Phoenix just yet.
As we reported ... Bam recently hit over 100 days sober, which is a major win for him in so many respects. Bam tells us the judge in his divorce case has been monitoring this progress carefully -- and feels like the decision to grant him visitation is due to his sobriety.
Now all he has to do is have his lawyers call Nikki's lawyer and make them aware of what he wants to do.

JONATHAN MAJORS ACCUSER JABBARI FLED TO BDAY BASH AFTER FIGHT 'Didn't Want To Be Alone,' She Testifies
Jonathan Majors' ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, says she decided to attend a stranger's birthday bash instead of returning home to the apartment she shared with him ... after he allegedly struck her in a cab in March.
During sworn testimony before a jury in an NYC courtroom Tuesday, Jabbari claimed she made her escape from an SUV taking them over the Manhattan Bridge ... seeking refuge at a bar with strangers who came to her aid after the alleged physical altercation with the actor.
"I didn't want to be alone at that point," she told jurors ... elaborating, "I was just trying to suppress the sadness. I felt sad so deeply in my heart. But, I was also really grateful for these three people who had saved me."
She said she bought her 3 new friends a bottle of champagne as a thank you, and also danced.
She said she had "some shots of tequila" as well. She said she began icing her finger at the bar because she knew she'd wake up in considerable pain the next morning.
Video footage of the alleged cab incident was presented in the courtroom ... where Majors was observed getting out of the car and pushing Jabbari back in ... before she got out and chased him down the street.
According to Jabbari, the fight broke out after she saw a text from a woman named "Cleopatra" in the cab.
She claims that when she tried to take the phone, she experienced a "heavy thud" as he tried to take it back ... resulting in her finger and arm being twisted.
"He was trying to hurt me," she alleged. "Then I felt a hard blow across my head."
However, Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, contends the injuries were actually sustained by the "Creed" actor ... who was scared of Jabbari as he attempted to flee her as she chased him through the streets of Manhattan.
This comes after Jabbari detailed how she first met Majors, how they got involved, and at what point he allegedly began showing aggression around her.
So far, she's shared a recording of the actor allegedly blowing up at her during another incident when she came home tipsy -- and has also claimed he lost his cool after she brought up her ex's pooch.
Meanwhile, Majors' current GF, Meagan Good, has been throwing her full support behind him ... ensuring to be by his side while arriving at court.

Jonathan Majors Denunciante dice que huyó a una fiesta tras la pelea ... No quería estar sola
La exnovia de Jonathan Majors, Grace Jabbari, dice que decidió ir a la fiesta de cumpleaños de un extraño en lugar de volver al departamento que compartía con él. Todo esto, después de que supuestamente este la golpeara en un taxi en marzo.
Durante el testimonio bajo juramento ante un jurado en un tribunal de Nueva York el martes, Jabbari afirmó que se escapó de un SUV que los llevaba por el puente de Manhattan para buscar refugio en un bar con conocidos que fueron a ayudarla después del supuesto altercado físico con el actor.
"No quería estar sola en ese momento", le dijo a los miembros del jurado. "Yo solo estaba tratando de suprimir la tristeza. Me sentía muy triste en el fondo de mi corazón. Pero también estaba muy agradecida por estas tres personas que me salvaron".
Dijo que los invitó a una botella de champán en señal de agradecimiento y también bailó.
También se tomó "algunos chupitos de tequila". Dijo que empezó a ponerse hielo en el dedo en el bar porque sabía que se despertaría con un dolor considerable a la mañana siguiente.
Las imágenes de video del supuesto incidente del taxi se presentaron en la sala del tribunal. En ellas se ve a Majors saliendo del carro e instando a Jabbari a que entre de nuevo, luego ella sale y comienza a perseguirlo por la calle.
Según Jabbari, la pelea estalló después de que vio un mensaje de texto de una mujer llamada "Cleopatra" en el taxi.
Ella dice que cuando trató de tomar el teléfono, experimentó un "fuerte golpe" mientras él intentaba recuperarlo, lo que provocó una torcedura en su brazo y en su dedo.
"Él estaba tratando de hacerme daño", alegó. "Entonces sentí un fuerte golpe en la cabeza"
Sin embargo, la abogada de Majors, Priya Chaudhry, sostiene que el actor de "Creed" fue quien sufrió las lesiones. Asegura que el actor se asustó y por eso intentó huir mientras ella lo perseguía por las calles de Manhattan.
Todo esto ocurre después de que Jabbari detallara cómo conoció a Majors y en qué momento él supuestamente comenzó a mostrarse agresivo.
Hasta ahora, Jabbari ha compartido una grabación del actor donde aparentemente se lo ve explotando de rabia una vez que ella llegó borracha a casa. También ha afirmado que Majors perdió la calma cuando le mencionó algo sobre el perro de su ex.
Mientras tanto, la actual novia de Majors, Meagan Good, ha estado expresando todo su apoyo al actor, asegurándose de estar a su lado cuando llegan a la corte.
'Bling Empire' Star Jessey Lee Ex Accuses Him of Abuse in TRO Filing ... Court Wants More Info

Jessey Lee's ex-wife claims he's abused her and their kids, and now she's trying to get court ordered protection, but Jessey's denying it ... and claims she's lost all parental rights.
Crystal Hoang Lee -- who was once married to Jessey and has 2 children with him -- ran to court in L.A. this week to file for a temporary restraining order ... and her docs, obtained by TMZ, include shocking allegations of violence.
In the TRO request, Crystal claims Jessey's most recent date of alleged abuse against her was on Nov. 25 of this year ... and she claims he hit one of their children when they wouldn't go to sleep. She also alleges he caused her to have a miscarriage, but the docs don't include any further detail.
If you read through the docs ... she lists several other allegations of abuse from previous years -- ranging from hitting the kids, to hitting her, leaving the family to go gamble, uprooting the children and placing them in different schools.
Still, it appears the court wants to hear more details -- for now, a judge has denied Crystal's request for the TRO, and scheduled a hearing in 2 weeks, when she'll have a chance to lay out all her alleged details.
Jesse's rep tells us, "Mr. Lee has no knowledge of this restraining order. He actually was granted a restraining order against Ms. Hoang on Nov 21st.
