Marvel star Jonathan Majors will not face jail time after being found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
On Monday (April 8), Judge Michael Gaffey sentenced Majors to one year of domestic violence counseling in the assault case, per the Hollywood Reporter.
Majors appeared in court Monday with his current girlfriend, actor Meagan Good, while Jabbari delivered a victim impact statement.
“He is not sorry and has not accepted responsibility. He will do this again. He will hurt another woman. This is a man who believes he’s above the law,” Jabbari said. “I had a career and life and body, all of which he’s damaged.”
A jury found Majors guilty of third-degree reckless assault and second-degree harassment following a trial in December 2023. He was found not guilty of intentional assault and second-degree aggravated harassment. Majors faced up to one year in prison on the two counts.
Majors' charges stemmed from a March 2023 altercation with Jabbari.
Jabbari testified that she was riding in a car with Majors on March 25, 2023, when she saw a text on his phone that read: "Oh how I wish to be kissing you." Jabbari said she took the phone from Majors before he grabbed her arm and hand, twisted her forearm, and hit her head in an attempt to get it back. She also testified that he later threw her back into the car.
Majors maintained his innocence, saying he'd never hit a woman or participated in domestic abuse. Jabbari is still suing the actor, alleging that she endured abuse from Majors since they started dating in 2021.
On Monday, Majors didn't make a statement in court, with his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, citing that Jabbari would “attempt to use it against him in her civil case.” Chaudry said that while this was “the most challenging year of Jonathan Majors’ life,” he will abide by his sentence.
