A jury in New York convicted actor Jonathan Majors, known for his work with Marvel, of third-degree reckless assault and harassment. The verdict, decided by a six-member jury after over four hours of deliberation spanning three days, could lead to a maximum one-year prison sentence. Majors, donning a gray suit, heard the verdict alongside his attorneys, with his family and girlfriend, Meagan Good, in support. The actor also faced but was acquitted of, charges of intentional third-degree assault and second-degree aggravated harassment.
Following the verdict, Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, hinted at a potential appeal, stating Majors’ intent to “fully clear his name” and expressing gratitude for the support he received. The actor’s role as Kang the Conqueror in upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films has been withdrawn by Marvel Studios post-verdict.
Jonathan Majors Found Guilty of Assault and Harassment
The charges stemmed from an incident on March 25, when Majors called 911 upon finding his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari, unconscious in their apartment. Police arrested Majors after noting Jabbari’s injuries, including a laceration and a bruised, fractured finger. Majors pleaded not guilty to all charges.
During the trial, Jabbari claimed Majors inflicted her injuries during a car altercation. She alleged Majors became aggressive upon her seeing a romantic text on his phone, leading to physical confrontation. Three charges pertained to this car incident, while a fourth charge, a minor violation, involved Majors allegedly forcing Jabbari back into the car, which was captured on surveillance footage. The defense argued this was to prevent her from entering traffic.
The state of New York prosecuted Majors in this criminal trial, where the jury had to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This trial comes amidst a pivotal year for Majors, featuring roles in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Creed III, and Loki season two. Following his arrest, he was dropped by his publicity firm, the Lede Company, and his managers at Management 360. Additionally, Searchlight Pictures, owned by Disney, postponed the release of Magazine Dreams.
