Jonathan Majors rising star dropped by Marvel
On Monday afternoon, a New York court convicted Jonathan Majors, formerly a bright and quickly rising figure in Hollywood, guilty of two of the four offenses in a criminal case involving domestic abuse. His previous girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, was the subject of two charges against him, for which he was found guilty: third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. In New York, he was found guilty on all counts, which are regarded as misdemeanors.
In the mixed judgment, the jury effectively declared that Majors was not intended to cause Jabbari any harm by finding him not guilty of third-degree deliberate assault and second-degree aggravated harassment. Major is “disappointed” and “grateful,” according to a statement from his attorney.
Majors has, however, already suffered significant professional setbacks. On Monday afternoon, NPR verified that Majors had been let go by Marvel and Disney, who had been preparing fans for a significant upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie starring Majors.
Majors and Jabbari had their meeting on March 25 in Manhattan. The 34-year-old Majors was charged by the prosecution with assaulting Jabbari in the back of a car, scooping her up, and shoving her back inside when she attempted to follow him out at a crosswalk in the downtown area.
After Jabbari noticed a text that Majors had received from another lady, the two got into a heated argument in the car. According to the prosecution, Jabbari took the actor’s phone, and Majors retaliated by punching her in the head, yanking her finger, and twisting her arm behind her back. At one point, Majors sprang from the automobile at an intersection. According to camera footage, Jabbari attempted to pursue him, but Majors grabbed her and pushed her back into the car. Then Majors bolted down the street, Jabbari following close after.
Jabbari, who claimed that she didn’t want to be alone after the incident, went out to a club while Majors went to a hotel. Majors supposedly discovered her unconscious when he returned to his apartment a few hours later. He then reportedly contacted 911 to express his suspicion that she had attempted suicide. A 911 call was heard by the jurors.
When NYPD police arrived at the scene of the call, they discovered Jabbari with wounds, bruises, and a fractured finger; as a result, they arrested Majors. After a relatively quick three-hour evaluation, Jabbari’s mental health problems were ruled out.
Majors was originally charged with third-degree assault with the purpose to inflict bodily harm, third-degree assault with reckless bodily harm, second-degree aggravated harassment, and second-degree harassment. Majors reportedly accused Jabbari of attacking him after his detention, but the Manhattan district attorney’s office chose not to press charges against her.
The jury was shown and given information throughout the trial that suggested Majors may have injured Jabbari earlier than the March 2022 event. In a string of texts sent in September 2022, Jabbari and Majors talked about a previous altercation in which Jabbari was injured in the head. Majors wrote, “I’m a monster,” threatening to take his own life. A terrible individual. Not able to feel love.” The jury was also shown a taped version of another exchange between Majors and Jabbari that occurred in the same month, during which Majors advised Jabbari to behave more like Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King. He remarked, “I’m a great man,” on the recording.
Up to his incarceration, Majors was a rising celebrity in Hollywood. He starred in the HBO series Lovecraft Country the following year after landing his first notable part in the indie film The Last Black Man in San Francisco in 2019. Then he starred in a number of bigger movies, including Creed III with Michael B. Jordan, which came out only a few weeks before he was arrested. Majors was first presented by Marvel in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania as Kang the Conqueror, a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He also had an appearance in Season Two of the Disney+ series Loki.
Majors is not permitted to communicate with Jabbari in any way, according to the ruling of New York criminal court judge Michael Gaffey.
