Jonathan Majors Sentenced to 1 Year of Counseling in Domestic Assault Case

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.

His 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 assaultagainst 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. The motions were dismissed last Wednesday.

Majors arrived in court with his current girlfriend, actor Meagan Good. He shook hands and hugged his family and supporters on his side of the courtroom then took his seat between his lawyers, Priya Chaudhry and Seth Zuckerman. Jabbari entered the room shortly after and delivered a victim impact statement.

“He is not sorry and has not accepted responsibility. He will do this again. He will hurt another women. 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.”

Majors was arrested in March 2023 after he assaulted Jabbari in the backseat of a private vehicle. Majors denied that he assaulted Jabbari. He did not testify during the trial, but his defense team has repeatedly alleged that Jabbari, not Majors, was the aggressor in the vehicle that night.

Last month, Jabbari sued Majors for assault and defamation, with the latter allegation stemming from his “Good Morning America” interview. During the ABC sit-down, Majors claimed he “never laid his hands on a woman.” Jabbari also accused Majors of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and malicious prosecution.

In her lawsuit, Jabbari alleged Majors assaulted her other times prior to the March 2023 altercation, including incidents in London and Los Angeles. The suit also reveals text messages from when they were a couple, in which Majors dissuaded Jabbari from seeking medical help and threatened to kill himself.Parts of these texts were used in the December trial, though they were only allowed as background information and not evidence in the case.

Shortly after the guilty verdict, Majors was fired from Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which he played the new villain Kang the Conqueror and his Hollywood career appears to be in limbo. He was previouslydropped by his management company, Entertainment 360, and publicity firm, the Lede Company.
