Marvel actor Jonathan Majors, known for his roles in “Loki” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” has opened up in his first interview since being found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Speaking with ABC News anchor Linsey Davis on “Good Morning America,” Majors expressed shock and fear upon hearing the verdict, emphasizing his disbelief based on the evidence presented during the trial.
Majors, 34, discussed the timing of the interview, stating that he felt it was the right moment to share his perspective amid significant developments in his personal life and career. Despite the challenges he has faced, the actor emphasized the importance of taking responsibility, being brave, and sharing his side of the story.
The Marvel star thanked those who have supported him, acknowledging the difficulties he has encountered. He revealed that he hasn’t seen his daughter due to the legal case, and with the trial behind him, he finds himself focusing on his relationship with partner Meagan Good.
In response to the interview, an attorney for Jabbari, Brittany Henderson, criticized Majors for not taking accountability for his actions. Henderson accused Majors of denigrating the jury system and suggested that his lack of remorse could influence the sentencing decisions.
Jonathan Majors was found guilty on two charges: misdemeanor assault in the third degree, recklessly causing physical injury, and harassment in the second degree. The charges stemmed from an alleged altercation with Jabbari in Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood in March. Despite the guilty verdict, the actor’s defense emphasized that the jury did not fully believe Jabbari’s account of the events.
Majors is scheduled to return to court for sentencing on February 6, facing the possibility of up to a year in jail. The actor, known for his impactful roles in various projects, maintains faith in the legal process and looks forward to fully clearing his name.
