Jonathan Majors Found Guilty of Assault and Harassment
Jonathan Majors just scored a guilty verdict in his trial – and it’s a healthy serving of irony on a silver platter.
After three days of jury ping-pong in the Big Apple, the court hit him with assault in the third degree and a sprinkle of harassment. At first, Majors was facing eight charges, but the D.A.'s office trimmed it down a bit to four. He was also able to dodge two more, but given the verdict Majors is potentially looking at a year behind bars.
The trial felt just a little longer than a two-week vacation, and from the start, Majors was depicted as the aggressor in his volatile relationship with Grace Jabbari and the March 2023 altercation between the two being the final culmination of their ongoing tensions.
What’s interesting about this all is the use of surveillance video as evidence in the case – footage of a scuffle and a foot chase that clearly shows Majors trying to restrain and get away from Jabbari as she continued to pursue him against his will. Not very Coretta Scott King-like. Nonetheless, Jabbari took the mic as the star witness, adding more color to the notion that Majors’ use of control and roughness was a regular experience for her.
Majors' defense tried to drop a plot twist and questioned if Jabbari was really hurt that night, due to security footage from later on in the evening that showed her partying with no signs of distress from the injuries she alleges she sustained during the altercation.
Through all this chaos, Majors had his newfound ride-or-die, Meagan Good, right there in the VIP section.
As for what's next with his career? unfortunately, it might be a mass exodus from anything Majors-related. Marvel has already severed ties with the former Kang actor and Disney has removed Magazine Dreams from their release schedule. That’s tough.
