Jonathan Majors made a career in Hollywood as an actor in Marvel films. But then allegations of domestic violence brought him to court. But the actor avoids a prison sentence.
US actor Jonathan Majors (34, “Creed III – Rocky’s Legacy”) avoids a prison sentence after being convicted of assault in a domestic violence case. According to the court’s order, the Marvel star must undergo a training program for 52 weeks and continue a therapy course.
A judge in New York set the sentence on Monday (local time), as US media reported. If Majors doesn’t comply with these requirements, he could still go to prison.
He faced up to a year in prison
A jury in New York found the actor partially guilty last December on allegations of assault and domestic violence. He faced up to a year in prison, but the sentence could also be suspended.
The actor was temporarily taken into custody by police in March 2023 following an incident with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. The woman said Majors had injured her during a physical argument in a car. The actor had denied the allegations. His legal team portrayed Jabbari as the attacker.
Jabbari took the witness stand in the trial; Majors did not testify. The actor often appeared on trial days accompanied by his current girlfriend, actress Meagan Good (42, “Shazam!”). She was also at his side when the sentence was announced, as the film portal “Hollywood Reporter” reported.
Before the allegations became known, Majors was considered a rising star in Hollywood. He was one of the main actors in the boxing drama “Creed III” (2023). He also starred in the role of supervillain Kang in the Marvel film “Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania.” After the guilty verdict, Marvel Studios excluded the “Kang” actor from further films, reported the industry portals “Hollywood Reporter” and “Variety”.
