The fourth annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards has announced its honorees and will be presenting Jonathan Majors with the perseverance award at its Los Angeles event on June 21.
The award, per the organization, is “given to an individual who has shown that no matter what adversity they face, they will continue to aspire to inspire.” It comes after Majors was convicted of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in December. He was sentenced to a 52-week, in-person domestic violence intervention program in April.
Majors has made a handful of public appearances in the past few months — walking red carpets alongside girlfriend Meagan Good — but an awards acceptance speech will likely see the actor making rare public comments about the past year, with charges stemming from an incident with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
In addition to Majors, the event will recognize designer Christian Louboutin with the innovator award, Cardi B...
