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.

Jonathan Majors has been sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling after being convicted last year of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
The actor must complete a 52-week domestic violence programming in Los Angeles, where he currently resides. He must also continue the mental health therapy he has been enrolled in and provide updates on his progress.
The sentencing was delivered Monday by Judge Michael Gaffey in a lower Manhattan courtroom, almost four months after Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari. After a two-week trial, he was set to be sentenced in January, but it was delayed to April due to motions filed by his legal team that were later dismissed.

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...

A New York judge decided today that Jonathan Majors will still be sentenced next week on his assault and harassment conviction.
Judge Michael Gaffey has denied the defense motion to set aside the verdicts and strip the guilty results against the Creed III actor that a jury delivered on December 18 last year. With this last Hail Mary effort now dead, Majors will be sentenced on April 8, as previously scheduled.
The one-time Marvel star potentially faces up to a year behind bars.
Neither Majors’ top lawyer Priya Chaudhry nor the Manhattan District Attorney’s office responded to request for comment on the new ruling. If and when they do, this post will be updated.

Jonathan Majors has been sued by his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari for alleged assault, battery and defamation from incidents dating between 2021 and 2023. Last December, Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari from a March 2023 altercation in New York City.
Jabbari filed her suit, which was obtained by Variety, in New York federal court on Tuesday and accused Majors of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation. The defamation allegation comes from the “Good Morning America” interview Majors gave after his conviction in which the actor said he “never laid [his] hands on a woman.” In the December trial, Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry repeatedly characterized Jabbari as lying about the injuries she sustained in the March 2023 incident.

Fallout from a New York jury’s conviction of Jonathan Majors for misdemeanor reckless assault and harassment has erupted in a lawsuit against the actor from ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, who claims that she alerted Majors’ management team of abuse in 2021.
Jabbari, in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in New York federal court, brings claims for battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and defamation, which arises from Majors denying that he abused the professional dancer and movement coach leading up to and after his conviction. She accuses Majors of subjecting her to a “pattern of pervasive domestic abuse that began in 2021 and extended through 2023,” detailing several instances of alleged physical violence.
In a statement, Priya Chaudhry, a lawyer for the actor, said, “This is no surprise. Mr. Majors is preparing counterclaims against Ms. Jabbari.”

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.

Jonathan Majors’ sentencing date has been delayed until April 8 after his defense team filed a motion to set aside the verdict.
The Creed III actor was convicted in December of reckless assault in the third degree, a misdemeanor, and harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The charges carry a potential sentence of up to one year in prison. The sentencing was initially set to take place Tuesday. Majors appeared virtually for the hearing, in which prosecutors said they needed time to respond to the motion, which was filed Monday.
The charges stem from an incident on March 25 between Majors and his ex-partner Grace Jabbari. Jabbari testified that while the two were riding in a car, 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...

Jonathan Majors’ domestic assault case has been prolonged again.
The actor was expected to receive his sentence on Tuesday, a month after he was convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. However, the sentencing was delayed to April 8 due to motions filed by his legal team to set aside the verdict. Judge Michael Gaffey said the new date will give prosecutors time to respond to the motion, which was filed on Monday.
Majors didn’t attend Tuesday afternoon’s hearing in person and instead appeared virtually because he lives out of state. Based on his charges, he could face up to a year in jail.
In late 2023, a Manhattan jury found the Marvel actor guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault but acquitted him on two other counts stemming from an incident that occurred last March.

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.

On Tuesday, two NYPD police officers who were present for Jonathan Majors’ arrest for alleged assault testified in court in his ongoing trial.
Officer Erik Lucero and Sergeant Bryan Hanson responded to Majors’ 911 call on March 26 after the actor found his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, unconscious on the floor of a walk-in closet in the apartment they had shared. His 911 call was played in court and it was revealed that Majors made the call fearing that Jabbari had overdosed or committed suicide, according to Hanson.
Majors could be heard saying “she’s unconscious,” “she’s my ex partner” and that he didn’t know what she had taken when asked if Jabbari suffered from anything prior. He said he couldn’t get into the area that Jabbari was located in their apartment and needed the help of a handyman. The 911 operator told Majors to “keep an eye on her breathing.”

Entering the second week of Jonathan Majors domestic violence trial, the Loki actor’s phone and texts have become central to both the prosecution and defense cases.
Put bluntly, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and the defense team have very different perspectives on the alleged assault by Majors in late March on his then longtime girlfriend. However, as was evident today and has been clear even before the trial began on December 4, both sides admit whatever happened that night erupted out of Grace Jabbari seeing texts on the actor’s phone from another woman that read “I wish I were kissing you.”
Things escalated quickly after that.
Today, with Majors in court at the defense table, the driver of the car the duo were in when Jabbari saw those texts recounted her version of what went down.

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.
The actor has insisted on his innocence, and his attorneys have repeatedly said Jabbari was the aggressor in the relationship and on the night of March 24 – even going so far as to file a cross-complaint against her in June. With the Manhattan Da’s...

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.

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.
“He knows what he’s done,” Jabbari told Judge Michael Gaffey and the...

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.

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.

Grace Jabbari on Tuesday told a Manhattan courtroom at Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial how she was frightened of the Loki actor even before the incident that saw him arrested in March.
With a Bible-clutching Majors sitting just a few feet away, the self-described professional dancer took the stand just after 10 a.m. Et on the second day of testimony in the case to detail how the two met in the UK in 2021 during the filming of Marvel/Disney’s Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
“We spent every day together, maybe minus a few, within the next few months,” British national Jabbari said under questioning from Assistant District Attorney Kelli Galaway. “He told me he loved me very early on.”
Reiterating a lot of what Ada Michael Perez declared when he cited Majors’ “cruel and manipulative pattern of abuse” in his opening statement Monday, Jabbari informed Judge Michael Gaffey...

Actor Jonathan Majors has been accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari to hide his infidelity and “establish control.” The ‘Creed’ actor, began his trial over the alleged attack on December 4 at Manhattan Criminal Court, New York, and walked into the hearing carrying a Bible and a notebook – while holding hands with his girlfriend Meagan Good and another older woman.
He received a huge boost at the beginning of proceedings when the judge dismissed four of the seven counts after an agreement between the prosecution and the defence, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Majors has denied assault with intent to cause physical injury, assault recklessly causing physical injury, aggravated harassment and harassment.
Prosecutor Michael Perez said they wanted the multiple assault charges “merged” into one charge “based on the nature of the injuries and the acts alleged.”
