Marvel’s Jonathan Majors Guilty of Harassment and Assault
Jonathan Majors has been found guilty by a Manhattan jury on Monday of two misdemeanor charges related to the assault of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The charges include harassment and assault. However, the jury acquitted the Marvel actor on two other counts.
Majors, who was present in the courtroom with his attorneys and current girlfriend Meagan Good, remained stoic when the verdict was announced. Judge Michael Gaffey scheduled Majors’ sentencing for Feb. 6, where he could potentially face up to a year in jail or be sentenced to probation.
Following the conviction, Marvel Studios decided to cut its association with Jonathan Majors, the actor renowned for portraying the central villain Kang the Conqueror in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite being slated to feature in future installments of the comic book franchise, such as “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty” in 2025, the 34-year-old actor’s involvement has been terminated by the studio.

His defense attorney Priya Chaudhry said that Majors still “has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name.”
She added, “It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that,” Chaudhry said. “We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him.”
The trial, spanning two weeks, came to an end in a lower Manhattan courtroom after the jury sought clarification on the definition of harassment in the second degree. This offense involves the “intent to harass, annoy, or alarm” another person, accompanied by actions such as striking, shoving, kicking, or any form of physical contact, as well as attempts or threats to do so.
Prior to reaching a verdict, the jury requested a review of surveillance footage and testimony from a woman who accompanied Jabbari to a nightclub after the assault. Majors refuted accusations of assaulting Jabbari, with his defense team asserting that Jabbari was the instigator in the vehicle that evening. They further contended that Jabbari concocted the allegations as a means of retaliation against Majors following their breakup. During the closing argument, Chaudhry characterized Jabbari as a “liar” and an individual who distorts reality.
Following the verdict Majors was let go by his manager, Entertainment 360, and his public relations firm, the Lede Company. He continues to be represented by the talent agency WME.
