Jonathan Majors was sentenced Monday to a 52-week domestic-abuse prevention program after being convicted in December of recklessly assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
The former Marvel actor was solemn during proceedings, declining to make a statement. Judge Michael Gaffey noted that “jail is not necessary” for the misdemeanor domestic violence offense, but said Majors is expected to complete the intensive course in person. He is also barred from owning or applying for a license to obtain a firearm.
Jabbari was granted a full order of protection against Majors.

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.

This Interview With The Vampire article contains spoilers.
Fans of Anne Rice’s book series, and viewers who only know the characters from AMC’s Interview with the Vampire, will be equally shocked by the season 1 finale, “The Thing Lay Still.” If you haven’t seen it, stop reading now. The vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) is given a vampire time-out by those he gave the Dark Gift to, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), and Claudia (Bailey Bass). As further punishment, his newly sanguine-fueled mistress, the singer Antoinette (Maura Grace Athari), performs her final torch song.
The first season delved deep into the traumas and abuses of a dysfunctional family, made more dynamic by the unique kinship of never-aging beautiful predators. People in similar circumstances have at least some forms of community support, inadequate as it may all too often be. Vampires have no such safety nets,...
