In a pivotal moment following his recent conviction for assault, actor Jonathan Majors is set to break his silence in an exclusive interview with ABC News. This marks the first time Majors will publicly address the allegations of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The 34-year-old former Marvel star will be interviewed by ABC News anchor Linsey Davis on Disney-owned Good Morning America, with additional segments airing on GMA3.
The exclusive interview is scheduled to be an in-depth exploration of the events surrounding the case, shedding light on Majors’ perspective and response to the charges. An extended version of the interview will be featured on Davis’ ABC News Live program Prime later the same day. Further coverage will be provided by IMPACT x Nightline, which plans to broadcast a half-hour special showcasing unaired segments from Majors’ interview. The special will be available exclusively on Hulu, providing viewers with additional insights into the unfolding narrative.
This development comes on the heels of Marvel Entertainment’s decision in December to sever ties with Majors in the wake of his trial. Majors, renowned for his portrayal of Kang the Conqueror in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (2023) and his recent appearance in the Disney+ series “Loki,” faced a significant career setback with the termination of his association with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The actor’s legal troubles stem from a split verdict in which he was found guilty of misdemeanor assault in the third degree, recklessly causing physical injury, and harassment in the second degree. However, Majors was acquitted of misdemeanor assault in the third degree with intent to cause physical injury and misdemeanor aggravated harassment in the second degree. The charges were linked to an alleged altercation between Majors and Jabbari in Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood in March.
Following the verdict on December 18, Majors’ defense lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, issued a statement expressing gratitude for the jury’s skepticism regarding Jabbari’s account. Despite the acquittals, the jury found Majors reckless during the altercation, a point of disappointment for the defense.
As Majors faces sentencing on February 6, with the possibility of serving up to a year in jail, the actor remains determined to clear his name. The upcoming interview provides a platform for Majors to share his side of the story, while the legal fallout continues to unfold in the public eye. The actor expresses gratitude for the unwavering support received from family, friends, and fans throughout this challenging period, maintaining faith in the process and looking forward to the opportunity to reclaim his narrative.
