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.

Meagan Good is standing by her man. The Eve’s Bayou actor was with her boyfriend Jonathan Majors as he left court in New York City on April 8 after he was sentenced to probation on domestic violence charges.
In December 2023, a jury convicted Majors, 34, of assaulting and harassing his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. He was facing up to 12 months in jail, but on Monday, a judge instead ordered him to complete a year-long, in-person domestic violence intervention program. He was also ordered to have no contact with Jabbari.

Over three months after being convicted of reckless assault and harassment, Jonathan Majors was sentenced this morning by a New York judge to participate a domestic violence treatment program. The one-year “in person batterers” intervention program will be in LA, where Majors is based.
Present in Judge Michael Gaffey’s Manhattan courtroom Monday, Majors could have faced up to a year of jail time for his conviction on December 18 on two misdemeanor counts of reckless assault and harassment against Grace Jabbari. After a three-week trial late last year and several days of deliberations, the one-time Marvel actor was convicted by the jury of three men and three women.
In sentencing Monday, Judge Gaffey also issued a permanent order of protection against any contact whatsoever with Jabbari and continued therapy for Majors. The actor cannot apply for or own a gun, the judge also said. Any violation of the sentencing terms...

Less than a month before Jonathan Majors is set to be sentenced in his domestic violence trial, the much-accused former Marvel actor on Tuesday was sued for defamation by his ex-girlfriend.
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.

Creed III star Jonathan Majors, who was previously convicted in December for assaulting and harassing a former girlfriend, has been accused of physical and emotional abuse by two additional women.
Majors maintains that he is innocent and continues to strive to reignite his career that plummeted after his conviction. He was dropped from the role of Kang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe shortly after his conviction. In a televised interview last month, he adamantly stated that he had “never struck a woman.”
Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper have made pretrial statements to the prosecution, as well as provided interviews with The New York Times, that detail harrowing experiences of emotional and physical abuse at the hands of Majors. Duncan, an actress who was engaged to Majors from 2015 to 2019, revealed that he would choke and throw her around, which led to bruises.

Two women came forward with new abuse allegations against Jonathan Majors on Thursday, accusing the disgraced actor of physical and emotional abuse in a report from The New York Times.

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.

Jonathan Majors has been found guilty of reckless assault and harassment in his domestic violence trial.
A New York City jury of three men and three women just delivered the verdict on the Loki actor after less than three days deliberation. Once touted as an Oscar contender for his role in Searchlight’s now-shelved Magazine Dreams, Majors faces up to a year behind bars. The actor was up against four misdemeanor charges.
Sentencing has been set for February 6.
Arrested and promptly released on March 25 after the alleged assault on his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, Majors always has insisted on his innocence. Months ago, he entered a “not guilty” plea to the charges.

Testifying for the third day in a row in Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial, the actor’s ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari reached a breaking point Thursday.
Under cross-examination from defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry and with Majors seated close by, Jabbari left Judge Michael Gaffey’s courtroom this afternoon in tears upon being shown police body-camera footage of the NYPD responding to the Magazine Dreams star’s 911 call in late March.
Dropped by his management and PR company soon after he was arrested for the incident, Majors could get up to a year behind bars if found guilty on the misdemeanor charges against his ex of two years.

Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend took the witness stand on Thursday for the third consecutive day, where she faced questions from the “Creed III” actor’s defense attorney about the injuries she sustained on the night in March she was allegedly assaulted.
Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry asked Grace Jabbari, 30, about why she had gone out to a nightclub immediately after the alleged assault, suggesting that her injuries must not have been particularly serious.
“I was feeling pain but I was choosing to ignore it. I was filled with adrenaline,” Jabbari told the Manhattan jury. “The next morning is when [the pain] sunk in. When I woke up, I felt like I had been hit by a bus.”
In her testimony, Jabbari described meeting three strangers on the street after the alleged altercation with Majors. They invited her to Loosie’s Nightclub on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. She went because she “didn’t want to be alone.

“It’s felt like the abuse that I was in has just not ended,” said Grace Jabbari today in court of the personal aftermath of Jonathan Majors’ arrest on domestic abuse charges against her back in March.
The British National continued her testimony in Majors’ trial of what occurred on March 25 in New York City with her then boyfriend and how fraught the relationship with the Creed III star had been beforehand.
Under questioning from Manhattan District Attorney’s office and later from the defense, Jabbari may have had to pause on occasion because she became so upset over questions about another ex’s suicide and more. Yet, at the same time, the self-described “professional dancer” who dated Majors for almost two years was steely adamant about who put hands on who and why eight months ago.

Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend testified Wednesday that she did not want to involve the police after he allegedly assaulted her in March, and that she regretted getting him in trouble.
On her second day on the witness stand, Grace Jabbari, 30, tearfully spoke about the aftermath of the incident that resulted in Majors’ arrest. She told jurors that Majors had previously warned her about trusting the police because of “what they would do to him as a Black man.”
“I didn’t want to put him in that situation,” she said.
It was Majors, not Jabbari, who called the police the next morning. His defense attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said in her opening statement that Majors did so out of concern for Jabbari’s mental state. Majors had spent the prior night in a hotel and returned to their Chelsea residence to find Jabbari asleep on the floor.

Jonathan Majors’ ex-partner, Grace Jabbari, continued her testimony Wednesday with her account of injuries she said were caused by Majors during an altercation in March and answers as to why she was not immediately forthcoming to police.
Majors faces four charges of misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment and harassment after police responded to a 911 call on March 25 and Jabbari claimed the injuries came from Majors. The Marvel actor has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
It remains unclear whether Majors will testify in the trial, which is expected to last two weeks. He spent most of Jabbari’s testimony seated with his defense attorneys, looking downwards, with his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, and family members sitting behind him.
In her testimony Tuesday, Jabbari said the March 25 incident began after midnight, when Majors and Jabbari were in a private car home and she observed a text message on Majors’ phone. The alleged...

Grace Jabbari took the witness stand Tuesday, telling her version of the events that led to the arrest and subsequent charges against her ex-partner Jonathan Majors.
Majors faces four charges of misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment and harassment after police responded to a 911 call and Jabbari reported being assaulted by Majors, with police noting that she had sustained minor injuries. The Marvel actor has pleaded not guilty to all charges and his defense attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has claimed Majors called 911 out of concern for Jabbari’s well-being.
Prosecutors have alleged that the March 25 incident began after midnight, when Majors and Jabbari were in a private car home and she observed a text message on Majors’ phone stating, “Wish I was kissing you right now.”
Jabbari confirmed this version of events, saying she was shocked by the possibility of infidelity given the seriousness of their two-year relationship, which she said was heading toward marriage.

(Editors’ Note: An earlier version of this story said that the Manhattan prosecutors in Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial said that accuser Grace Jabbari was a potential suicide risk. It was the defense that said that this morning. We regret the error and have corrected it) Jonathan Majors used cruelty and manipulation to control Grace Jabbari, and when his girlfriend of two years discovered that the acclaimed actor was cheating on her with another woman, the psychological abuse turned physical, the prosecution told a New York City jury today in opening arguments of the actor’s domestic violence trial.
Assistant Manhattan district attorney Michael Perez told jurors Monday that Majors told 911 on March 25 that Jabbari had possibly attempted suicide, which later was part of her evaluation at a local hospital that night. Doctors at Bellevue determined that she was not a suicide risk, which is one of the reasons Gabbari was released that night.

Opening statements in Jonathan Majors’ criminal domestic violence trial began Monday morning, with prosecutors claiming that Majors used physical violence to manipulate, control, and physically hurt his former girlfriend, whom he allegedly attacked in March in New York.
However, lawyers for Majors — who has maintained his innocence since his arrest — claim that Majors’ ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari made “false accusations” in an act of “revenge” against the actor after she discovered that he received a compromising text from another woman.

New York Judge Michael Gaffey rejected a motion to dismiss the misdemeanor assault and harassment charges facing Marvel actor Jonathan Majors on Wednesday, clearing the way for a Nov. 29 trial.
The defense additionally filed a motion under seal requesting that certain evidentiary matters continue to be under seal, or outside of public view. The defense argued that this evidence contains “sensitive information” that could jeopardize Majors’ right to a fair trial. The state did not take a position on the motion, and Gaffey told press in the courtroom that they could submit papers in opposition by Nov. 6.
Majors appeared in court virtually, as the judge mentioned he is currently out of state.

Just a day before Jonathan Majors returns to court for a pretrial hearing in his domestic violence case, prosecutors have filed a massive, 115-page document that lays out specifics of the allegations and rebuts several narratives related to the matter. Among other items, it counters reporting that Grace Jabbari, Majors’ girlfriend at the time of the alleged assault, was herself to be charged in the incident.
It also discusses a previously unreported incident that allegedly occurred in London in September of 2022. Prosecutors are trying to procure a police report for that alleged incident, that involved Jabbari receiving medical care, which would have occurred while the actor was in London shooting the second season of Disney+’s series “Loki.” Majors was arrested on March 25 in Manhattan and stands accused of assault and aggravated harassment following an alleged domestic dispute with Jabbari.

Prosecutors in the Jonathan Majors case have revealed a previously unreported incident involving London police, which they believe is relevant to their domestic violence allegations.
Majors was arrested on March 25 in Manhattan and is accused of assault and aggravated harassment following an alleged domestic dispute with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
In a new, 115-page filing obtained by Variety, prosecutors say they are attempting to get a copy of a London Metropolitan Police report from September 2022. While it is unclear what that report contains, the filing references medical care obtained by Jabbari at that time. Jabbari is a citizen of the U.K., and Majors was in London during that period, filming season two of the Disney+ Marvel series “Loki.”

Jonathan Majors is due back in court Sept. 15 on misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault, as the prosecution says it is ready for trial.
Majors appeared virtually in New York criminal court on Wednesday. He had previously appeared in person, with his girlfriend, actress Meagan Good.
While the prosecution says it is ready for trial and has filed a certificate of compliance, attorneys for Majors say they found deficiencies with the certificate, leading to the new conference date, which will take place in a different courtroom. Judge Rachel S. Pauly on Wednesday said Majors can also appear virtually for that conference.
The Creed III actor faces misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault after being arrested in New York on March 25. Police responded to a 911 call and a 30-year-old woman reported being assaulted by Majors, with police noting that she had sustained minor injuries. Majors was released from police custody later that day.

After numerous delays, today was supposed to be the actual start of the actor’s trial on misdemeanor charges stemming from the incident in and around Majors’ Chelsea apartment March 25. Although he was the one who called 911 in the spring, the actor is looking at up to a year behind bars if found guilty on claims being prosecuted by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg’s office.

Anthony Mackie has weighed in on the recent domestic assault charges against fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Jonathan Majors, stressing that guilt has not yet been proven.
“We’re a country that was built on ‘everyone is innocent until proven guilty,’” the “Twisted Metal” star told Inverse in an interview on Wednesday. “That’s one of the staples of this country. Nothing has been proven about this dude. Nothing. So everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That’s all I can say. It’s crazy where we are as a society. But as a country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.”
On March 25, Majors, who played Kang the Conqueror in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and is poised to be Marvel’s main villain over the next several films, was arrested in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea on assault, strangulation and harassment charges in connection to a domestic dispute involving a 30-year-old woman.

Marvel Cinematic Universe star Anthony Mackie is weighing in on the assault allegation against fellow MCU actor Jonathan Majors.
Majors was arrested in New York on March 25 on charges of assault and harassment, following a domestic dispute with a woman later identified as Grace Jabbari. Police responded to a 9-1-1 call in Chelsea and took Majors into custody without incident, while Jabbari, who sustained minor injuries, was taken to a local hospital. In April, she was granted a temporary order of protection.

Anthony Mackie is one of the first Marvel actors to publicly weigh in on the assault allegation facing Jonathan Majors, who joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe earlier this year as Kang the Conquerer in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” Majors’ Kang is the new Thanos-sized villain of the MCU, meaning it’s likely he’s supposed to come face to face with Mackie’s new Captain America at some point in the future.
“We’re a country that was built on ‘everyone is innocent until proven guilty,’” Mackie told Inverse when asked by Majors’ alleged assault. “That’s one of the staples of this country. Nothing has been proven about this dude. Nothing. So everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That’s all I can say. It’s crazy where we are as a society. But as a country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.”

On the heels of an August trial date being set for Jonathan Majors’ domestic assault case, the “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” actor’s attorney says “additional compelling evidence” has been delivered to the Manhattan district attorney and once again requested that the charges against him be dropped.
“Within a few weeks of these false allegations, we provided the district attorney with evidence of Mr. Majors’ innocence. Last week, we delivered additional compelling evidence to the district attorney, clearly proving Grace Jabbari’s assault on Jonathan Majors and not the other way around,” attorney Priya Chaudhry said in a statement provided to TheWrap.
“This evidence includes videos of Ms. Jabbari’s frenzied attack on Mr. Majors and his running away from her,” the statement continued. “We also provided photographs illustrating the injuries she inflicted on Mr. Majors and photos of his clothing torn as a direct consequence of Ms. Jabbari’s violent actions.

An Aug. 3 trial date has been set in the court case against Jonathan Majors on misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment.
Majors appeared in person in New York criminal court Tuesday for a status conference in connection with the charges. The Creed III actor entered the courtroom with actress Meagan Good. Majors was wearing sunglasses and a brown linen suit. He later removed the sunglasses and approached the bench with a brown cup in hand and what appeared to be a Bible.
Majors was arrested on March 25 in New York when police responded to a 911 call in Chelsea. Police said a 30-year-old woman reported being assaulted by the actor and had sustained minor injuries to her head and neck. Priya Chaudhry, Majors’ criminal defense lawyer, has denied any wrongdoing on the part of her client and says he called 911 out of concern about the woman’s “mental health.”
