Jonathan Majors, aged 34, has been sentenced to probation following his domestic vισℓεηcε case. The actor, convicted of αssαultíng his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, will undergo one year of domestic vισℓεηcε counseling.

Despite the potential for a jail term of up to one year, Majors was spared incarceration. The allegations significantly impacted his career trajectory.

🚨 What just happened?

During Monday’s sentencing at Manhattan Criminal Court, Jonathan Majors, who has consistently asserted his innocence, faced sentencing for two counts: reckless assault in the third degree, classified as a misdemeanor, and harassment in the second degree, categorized as a violation. Majors arrived wearing a blue and white coat and sunglasses, accompanied by his current girlfriend, actress Meagan Good.

Grace Jabbari, emotionally affected, delivered a victim impact statement to the court, expressing, “He is not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility. He will do this again. He will hurt other women. This is a man who believes he is above the law,” as reported by the Independent.

Majors declined to make a statement at sentencing.

Assistant District Attorney Kelli Galloway asked Judge Michael Gaffey to sentence Majors to 52 weeks of an in-person domestic violence program or 26 weeks of jail time. She said that instead of “showing contrition” after his arrest, he was behind a “high-powered PR campaign” against the victim. Gaffey said he didn’t believe jail was necessary, instead sentencing Majors to one year in a battery program.

While Majors’s attorney asked that the actor be able to do the program remotely so he could work, the judge said it would be in-person. Majors also must continue therapy. The judge also awarded Jabbari a protection order that Majors has to pay $250 for.

⚖️ How did we get here?

Majors, hailed as a rising star in Hollywood with notable roles in projects like Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “Creed III,” and TV’s “Lovecraft Country,” faced a significant setback when he was arrested in March 2023 following a dispute with his girlfriend of two years in Manhattan.

During the trial, Jabbari, a dancer from the U.K., testified that Majors had struck her on the side of the head, twisted her arm behind her back, and squeezed her finger until it fractured during a fight in the back of a livery car. Prosecutors portrayed the incident as part of a pattern of abuse, referencing a previous incident in London where Majors allegedly discouraged Jabbari from seeking medical attention for a head injury to avoid an investigation.

Majors did not take the stand during the trial, but his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, portrayed him as the victim and Jabbari as the aggressor. During closing arguments, Chaudhry urged the jury to “end this nightmare for Jonathan Majors,” who received support from his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, throughout the trial.

Although Majors was acquitted of a different assault charge and aggravated harassment during the December trial, Judge Gaffey rejected a last-minute attempt to dismiss the criminal charges against Majors on April 1.

🎬Has he faced career fallout?

There’s been significant fallout for Majors. Almost immediately after his arrest, his agent and publicist dropped him. He was cut from multiple projects and lost brand deals. A Rolling Stone exposé followed, alleging a pattern of “extreme abuse” dating back nearly a decade with claims that Majors was physically and/or emotionally abusive with two other past romantic partners. (Majors denied those allegations as well.)

Majors was featured in Season 2 of Loki in 2023. After the guilty verdict, Disney fired him, cutting him from the role of Kang the Conqueror in upcoming films (Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars).

Majors broke his silence about the abuse allegations in an interview with ABC News in January. “I was reckless with her heart, not with her body,” Majors said in it, adding, “My hands have never struck a woman, ever.”

Jabbari sued him for defamation over the interview.

In a statement prior to sentencing, Majors’s attorney said the actor “continues to draw strength from his friends, fans, family and dogs.” He looks forward to “closing this chapter” and “redirecting his time and energy fully toward his family and his art.”

Majors did not comment as he left court.
