Los Angeles, CA – Jonathan Majors, the former Marvel star who was convicted of reckless assault and harassment in a domestic violence case, has spoken out about the allegations in a recent interview with Good Morning America. Majors maintains that he did not physically abuse his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, and insists that he was shocked and afraid when he was convicted.
During the interview, Majors denied any knowledge of how Jabbari sustained her injuries, which included a fractured finger and a gash behind her ear. He stated that he was only “reckless with her heart…not with her body” and reiterated that he did not cause her injuries. Majors also addressed previous allegations of abuse made by two other former partners, denying any instances of physical or emotional abuse in past relationships.
The interview comes ahead of Majors’ upcoming sentencing hearing, where he could face up to a year in jail. Majors expressed disbelief at the verdict and suggested that racial bias may have played a role in his conviction. He also criticized the timing of the interview for lacking remorse and accused Jabbari of not facing prosecution for the injuries she allegedly caused him.
Throughout the trial, prosecutors presented evidence of other women’s testimonies alleging abusive relationships with Majors, although this evidence was not ultimately admitted in court. Majors’ star was on the rise prior to his arrest, with successful films and potential Oscar buzz, but he has since been dropped by his management and publicist teams and parted ways with Marvel.
In the interview, Majors acknowledged that he should have ended his relationship with Jabbari earlier and described it as “dangerous”. He expressed hope for a second chance and a return to Hollywood, crediting his girlfriend Meagan Good for standing by him. The actor emphasized that he has never been physically abusive in any relationship.
As the sentencing hearing approaches, Majors’ fate remains uncertain. Regardless of the outcome, the case raises important conversations about domestic violence and the challenges of navigating the justice system.
