Actor Jonathan Majors Sentenced to Domestic Violence Intervention Program Following Assault Conviction

Actor Jonathan Majors was sentenced to a year-long domestic violence intervention program after being found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment this past December. These charges, classified as a misdemeanor and a violation, could have led to up to a year in prison. Instead, prosecutors proposed, and the court agreed to, a sentence that includes Majors’ participation in a domestic violence program, with a six-month jail term pending should he not complete the program. Additionally, a full order of protection has been granted to Grace Jabbari, Majors’ then-girlfriend.

The program Majors is to attend will be conducted in person in Los Angeles. The harassment charge was conditionally dismissed. The charges stemmed from an incident on March 25, 2023, involving Majors and Jabbari. According to her testimony, a dispute arose over a text message Majors received. Jabbari claimed that Majors forcibly took his phone back from her during the altercation, leading to her accusations of physical harm.

Majors faced a two-week trial, at the end of which the jury acquitted him of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree, while convicting him on two other charges.

On the day of the sentencing, Majors, accompanied by his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, and a group of supporters, made a court appearance. Good and the supporters were noted for wearing red beanies, a choice of attire that Majors himself echoed, alongside bringing a Bible to court.

Jabbari was present during the sentencing, supported by family members, and delivered a victim impact statement. She expressed concerns over Majors’ behavior post-trial and voiced fears for the safety of others.

Majors chose not to speak during the sentencing, with his lawyer stating concerns that any statement could be used against him in a civil lawsuit Jabbari has filed. This lawsuit accuses Majors of assault and battery, referencing incidents dating back to 2022, and defamation for comments made by Majors post-trial.

Majors faced significant career repercussions since his December conviction. Marvel Studios released him from his role in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Furthermore, Majors lost representation from The Lede Company and managers at Entertainment 360 shortly after the verdict.
