Jonathan Majors Avoids Jail Time, Sentenced To Probation

Jonathan Majors Sentenced To Probation & Avoids Prison Time For Assaulting Ex Girlfriend

It’s a good news for former Marvel actor, Jonathan Majors, who has now been sentenced to probation, avoiding prison time for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in a high-profile case that derailed the 34-year-old star’s career.

Back in December, Jonathan Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault by a Manhattan jury, facing up to a year behind bar.

The actor was immediately dropped by Marvel after the guilty verdict. Majors was cast as Kang the Conqueror, a role envisioned as the main villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that would likely have cemented his name as one of the biggest actors in Hollywood.

The Creed III actor was convicted over an altercation in March 2023 in which Majors’ then girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, accused him of attacking her in the backseat of a chauffeured car, saying he hit her head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it fractured.

According to Jabbari, Majors refuses to acknowledge his guilt and remains a danger to those around him. “He’s not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility, ”the 31-year-old British dancer said while fighting back tears in court. “He will do this again and he will hurt other women. He believes he is above the law.”

The actor however claimed Grace Jabbari was the aggressor, flying into a jealous rage after reading a text message from another woman on his phone. Majors claimed he was only trying to regain his phone and escape Jabbari safely.

He was convicted of one assault charge and a harassment violation, though the jury acquitted him on a different assault charge and of aggravated harassment. As of now, we can’t tell whether the character of Kang will be recast and remain in future Marvel films or if the studio will scrap projects based around the character.
