Jonathan Majors Convicted in Assault Case. Jonathan Majors, who starred in “Creed III” and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment in an incident involving his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari on Monday. A nine-person jury acquitted Majors on two of four charges.
Manhattan prosecutors have charged Majors and Jabbari for a March 25 incident. The judge granted a new order of protection and set the sentencing date for February 6 after the verdict.
In her comments, Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry expressed mixed feelings regarding the ruling.
Jonathan Majors Convicted in Assault Case. Chaudhry said, “The jury didn’t accept Grace Jabbari’s SUV account because Mr. Majors didn’t willfully hurt her. We appreciate that. Despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury deemed Mr. Majors reckless while she attacked him, which disappoints us.”
Chaudhry continued, “Mr. Majors thanks God, his family, friends, and fans for their love and support during these difficult eight months. Mr. Majors believes in the process and hopes to be cleared.”
Majors’ Hollywood career has been affected by the legal issues. The actor, who played Kang the Conqueror in 2026’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.”, has been dropped by Marvel Studios. This decision casts doubt on Majors’ Marvel superhero future.
Jabbari testified for two weeks that she was “scared” of Majors and thought he would hurt himself if she left him. In their opening statement, prosecutors accused Majors of assaulting and breaking Jabbari’s finger. Jabbari exited an SUV, and Majors allegedly picked her up and put her back in, throwing her “like a football.”
Although Majors denied hitting Jabbari, his lawyers said he was the victim, getting scratches. The defense also questioned Majors’ arrest, arguing that his color, Black, was a factor compared to Jabbari’s, white.
The legal drama has slowed Majors’ climb to popularity. Searchlight Pictures pulled Majors-starring bodybuilding drama “Magazine Dreams” from the autumn schedule in late October. Still, his Marvel future remained questionable before Monday’s ruling.
Jonathan Majors, star of “Creed III” and “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” rose quickly in Hollywood until the assault charges in March. The guilty conviction appears to have far-reaching effects on his legal and professional future.
The jury’s verdict hurt Majors’ Marvel Studios relationship. In 2026’s “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty,” the actor will play the villainous Kang the Conqueror. Marvel’s decision to cut ties with him suggests a major career change.
In a two-week trial, Jabbari testified about her terror of Majors throughout their relationship. While prosecutors claimed assault, Majors’ defense claimed he was the victim, incurring scratches. Majors’ legal team suggested racial bias in his arrest compared to Jabbari.
Priya Chaudhry, Majors’ attorney, stressed the jury’s rejection of Jabbari’s deliberate harm account. The guilty conviction on minor assault and harassment means Majors faces legal consequences, and his Hollywood career has suffered.
Marvel Studios’ separation from Majors suggests a shift in the industry’s attitude to high-profile actor legal concerns. Majors’ rapid repercussions after the verdict show that the business is increasingly holding individuals accountable.
Jonathan Majors’ legal ramifications are unknown as his February 6 sentencing approaches. The actor, who had a bright career in Hollywood, now faces legal and professional consequences, raising worries about the wider implications for entertainment stars facing legal issues.
