Former Marvel star Jonathan Majors was sentenced to one year of counseling for assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
In March 2023, Jabbari claimed Majors attacked her in a taxi, leaving her injured. Majors also allegedly twisted Jabbari’s arm, strangled her and squeezed her finger until it fractured. Police arrested Majors on charges of strangulation and harassment. After news of the assault came to light, two other women accused Majors of assault.
Majors previously claimed the incident occurred after Jabbari became jealous after seeing a text from another woman on his phone, saying he was trying to defend himself against Jabbari, who became violent.
In December 2023, a jury found Majors guilty of one count of reckless assault and harassment. Hours after the conviction, Disney and Marvel, which are in charge of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), cut ties with Majors. Majors had played the character of Kang the Conqueror.

After being convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, Jonathan Majors will avoid jail time by completing a 52-week in-person batterer’s intervention program. Additionally, Majors must continue with mental health therapy. The new order comes as Majors faced a one-year jail sentence for his actions against Jabbari.
Last week, Majors’ legal team tried to have his conviction thrown out, saying there was “a reasonable view of the evidence to support that Defendant acted recklessly.” Majors’ arrest happened at the height of his career after the back-to-back releases of Creed III and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The latter positions Majors as Marvel’s next Thanos-level villain, Kang the Conqueror.
While Jonathan Majors would say he was “shocked” at the verdict, many were not, particularly the numerous women who have come forward declaring that the actor had a history of violent behavior. In a recent piece in The New York Times,...

Jonathan Majors has been sentenced to a one-year domestic violence treatment program following his December 2023 guilty verdict of assault in the third degree and harassment.
The former Marvel actor was legally found guilty of striking ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Majors was found not guilty of one count of assault in the third degree and not guilty of aggravated assault in the second degree. He faced up to a year in jail based on the charges.

Jonathan Majors has been sentenced to 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling after being found guilty in his assault and harassment trial. However, a judge in Manhattan’s criminal court declined to give the actor any time behind bars.
The fall from grace for the one-time MCU star began in March last year when he was arrested on assault and harassment charges after a domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. In November, a highly-publicized trial began, revealing a pattern of abusive behavior from Majors, which was corroborated by similar stories that went public around the same time.
In December, Majors was found guilty of one count of reckless assault in the 3rd degree and a charge of harassment.

After the release of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,’ the superhero community was shocked by allegations against Jonathan Majors, known for his roles as Victor Timely in ‘Loki’ Season 1 and as Kang the Conqueror in ‘Quantumania,’ a significant villain in the Multiversal Saga.
Majors’ career took a hit following his arrest in March 2023 over allegations of assaulting a woman believed to be his girlfriend. He faced job losses from various projects, resignation from his management and PR team, and removal from several commercials featuring him.
Despite maintaining his innocence, Majors faced public scrutiny, exacerbated by the release of text messages between him and the alleged victim by his legal team.
In December, after the guilty verdict, Disney terminated its contract with Majors, leading to various changes within the franchise. With his departure, ‘Avengers: Kang Dynasty’ is no longer titled as such, and there are rumors of finding a replacement for Majors.

Jonathan Majors has been sued by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari for alleged assault, battery and defamation from incidents dating between 2021 and 2023. Last December, Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari from a March 2023 altercation in New York City.

In a filing in federal court in New York, Grace Jabbari has also provided vivid details of previously alleged incidents of “both verbal and physical abuse” from Majors. Facing a maximum of a year behind bars and a once rocket-fueled career in tatters, Majors is scheduled to be sentenced in the domestic violence case April 8 in NYC.

Fallout from a New York jury’s conviction of Jonathan Majors for misdemeanor reckless assault and harassment has erupted in a lawsuit against the actor from ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, who claims that she alerted Majors’ management team of abuse in 2021.
Jabbari, in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in New York federal court, brings claims for battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation, which arises from Majors denying that he abused the professional dancer and movement coach leading up to and after his conviction. She accuses Majors of subjecting her to a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023,” detailing several instances of alleged physical violence.
In a statement, Priya Chaudhry, a lawyer for the actor, said, “This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari.”

This time last year, Jonathan Majors was a star on the rise.
A graduate of Yale's drama school, Majors had a handful of major credits to his name, including HBO's Lovecraft Country, the blockbuster Rocky spinoff Creed III, and the critically acclaimed indie film The Last Black Man In San Francisco.
It was an impressive resume for a star in his early thirties -- and the best was yet to come (at least from a monetary standpoint).
Majors made headlines when signed on to play Kang the Conqueror in a slate of Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.
It was a deal that had the potential to take him from "well off" to "private island wealthy."
But in March of 2023, Majors' life was instantly turned upside down.

Jonathan Majors’ sentencing date has been delayed until April 8 after his defense team filed a motion to set aside the verdict.
The Creed III actor was convicted in December of reckless assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor, and harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The charges carry a potential sentence of up to one year in prison. The sentencing was initially set to take place Tuesday. Majors appeared virtually for the hearing, in which prosecutors said they needed time to respond to the motion, which was filed Monday.
The charges stem from an incident on March 25 between Majors and his ex-partner Grace Jabbari. Jabbari testified that while the two were riding in a car, she saw a text on his phone suggesting he was cheating on her and grabbed it from him. She said the actor then injured her, including prying her finger from the phone...

Jonathan Majors’ domestic assault case has been prolonged again.
The actor was expected to receive his sentence on Tuesday, a month after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. However, the sentencing was delayed to April 8 due to motions filed by his legal team to set aside the verdict. Judge Michael Gaffey said the new date will give prosecutors time to respond to the motion, which was filed on Monday.
Majors didn’t attend Tuesday afternoon’s hearing in person and instead appeared virtually because he lives out of state. Based on his charges, he could face up to a year in jail.
In late 2023, a Manhattan jury found the Marvel actor guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault but acquitted him on two other counts stemming from an incident that occurred last March.
Shortly after the guilty verdict, Majors was fired from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe,...

Updated, 11:33 Am: (Updated further with Da statement) Jonathan Majors must wait until April to find out whether or not he is going to jail for his domestic violence convictions.
After a delayed and brief hearing that just endedTuesday, Judge Michael Gaffey told his Manhattan courtroom that the Creed III star will be back April 8 to learn his fate. While prosecutors and Majors’ defense team were in court in person, Majors appeared virtually for the five-minute session.

Searchlight Pictures has dropped “Magazine Dreams” starring Jonathan Majors and returned the film’s rights to the filmmakers, who intend to again shop it on the open market, IndieWire has confirmed.
Searchlight acquired the movie out of last year’s Sundance Film Festival and slated it for release during awards season, but pulled it from its release calendar after Majors was arrested on March 25 for assault and harassment roughly a month after “Magazine Dreams” was acquired.
Majors last month was found guilty of assault, leading Disney to fire him from his duties as Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the time, THR reported it was unlikely “Magazine Dreams” would ever be released by Searchlight, even directly to streaming on Hulu. But rather than sit on a shelf, the film has a chance to see the light of day elsewhere should the filmmakers find an interested buyer.
Searchlight had no comment.

Jonathan Majors is working to save his reputation and career in giving a Jan. 8 interview declaring his innocence ahead of sentencing, in a move that experts see as risky legally and professionally.
The Creed III and Marvel actor was convicted by a jury in December on reckless assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor, and harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The charges stem from an incident inside a car on March 25 in which Majors’ ex-partner Grace Jabbari testified that she saw a text on his phone suggesting he was cheating on her and grabbed it from him. She said the actor then injured her, including prying her finger from the phone and striking her head as he tried to take the phone away from her and later threw her back into the car.

The Jonathan Majors assault trial finally took place last month. The actor, who was seen recently on season 2 of Marvel Studios’ Loki, had been awaiting trial for most of 2023, and the jury found him guilty of reckless assault in the third degree, which is a misdemeanour, and of harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The fallout was swift, with the actor’s career grinding to a halt. Majors had started the year with his career flying high after being featured as the villain, Kang, in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and as the opponent in Creed III. He was also ready to release another film, Magazine Dreams, which had already garnered him some acclaim. Monday morning, Majors appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America for his first interview since the whole incident transpired.

Majors said he was “shocked at the verdict,” which found Majors guilty of assaulting his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, inside of a SUV in March 2022. Furthermore, Majors maintained that he was not responsible for Jabbari’s injuries. When asked who was responsible, Majors responded, “I wish to god I knew. That would give clarity. That would give me some type of peace about it.”
“I’m an athlete. I’m a sportsman. I know my body. I know how it moves. I know my strength, or lack thereof, you know? None of that was employed on her,” Majors added.

“I’m standing there and the verdict comes down,” Majors recounted to ABC News anchor Linsey Davis. “I say, ‘How is that possible?’ Based off the evidence — based off the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence — how is that possible?”
The “Creed III” actor was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault over a domestic dispute with his former partner, Grace Jabbari. Majors will be sentenced on Feb. 6. He faces up to a year in jail but also could be sentenced to probation.
Majors was arrested on March 25, 2023 after he assaulted Jabbari in the backseat of a private car.

While Jonathan Majors has been convicted of assault and harassment, members of the legal community believe the actor will get little to any jail time and may have grounds for an appeal — though the career consequences of doing so may outweigh the benefits.
The actor was found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor, and of harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The assault charge carries a maximum sentence of up to one year in jail, but several attorneys said they do not believe Majors will spend time behind bars. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 6.
“Since it’s the defendant’s first conviction, although technically he faces one year of jail, the judge will 99 percent give him three years probation, anger management and possibly some community service. Mr. Majors is not getting jail time,” said Cary London, a Manhattan-based civil rights...

Hours after the jury found actor Jonathan Majors guilty of one misdemeanor charge and one harassment violation, Disney and Marvel have decided to cut ties with the actor.
Majors’ charges stem from a March confrontation with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, who said he attacked her in a car and left her in “excruciating” pain.
Jabbari accused Majors of several different assaults, including hitting her on the head with an open hand, twisting her arm behind her back and squeezing one of her fingers until it fractured.
Despite being found guilty of several assault charges, Majors was acquitted of a different assault charge and aggravated harassment.
The trial was a catalyst for Majors’ massive downfall in Hollywood. He played the villain Kang the Conqueror in the MCU. Before that, he also had significant roles in Creed III, Lovecraft Country and The Harder They Fall.
