Jonathan Majors is working to save his reputation and career in giving a Jan. 8 interview declaring his innocence ahead of sentencing, in a move that experts see as risky legally and professionally.
The Creed III and Marvel actor was convicted by a jury in December on reckless assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor, and harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The charges stem from an incident inside a car on March 25 in which Majors’ ex-partner Grace Jabbari testified that she saw a text on his phone suggesting he was cheating on her and grabbed it from him. She said the actor then injured her, including prying her finger from the phone and striking her head as he tried to take the phone away from her and later threw her back into the car.

Jonathan Majors is out of the Marvel Studios kingdom.
The news comes today in the wake of the Emmy-nominated actor being found guilty of reckless assault and harassment in his domestic violence trial by a six-person NYC jury.

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.
After eight days of testimony in Judge Michael Gaffey’s Manhattan courtroom, the jury was left to weigh starkly different accounts of what happened between Majors and Jabbari during a car ride home that instead ended at a downtown...

Jonathan Majors will not testify in the ongoing trial for his alleged assault against his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The defense rested Wednesday afternoon and no further witnesses will be called.
Priya Chaudhry and Seth Zuckerman, Majors’ attorneys, only called three witnesses to the stand on Wednesday and rested their case in the late afternoon. Closing arguments are set to begin Thursday morning. After that, the jury will begin deliberating. Depending on how much time the jury needs, the verdict could be reached as soon as Friday or early next week.
Jabbari has alleged that Majors assaulted her in the backseat of a car on March 25. She testified last week that she saw a text message on Majors’ phone from another woman that read, “Wish I was kissing you right now.” She said that she took the phone out of his hands to see who sent the message and he forcefully retrieved it.
