Actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Now Jonathan Majors has participated in his first interview since his guilty verdict, which has caused him to receive backlash on social media.
Though Majors was found guilty on the aforementioned two counts, he was found not guilty on two additional charges of intentional assault in the third degree as well as aggravated harassment in the second degree. Now he’s given a full response to the guilty verdict.
As you can see below, while speaking with host Lindsey Davis on ABC’s Good Morning America, in addition to the extended version on ABC News Live’s Prime, Majors claims that “it’s been hard.” This was teased in an earlier clip between Majors and Davis which also featured the host asking if he thinks he’d “ever work in Hollywood again.”

Well after Jonathan Majors’s interview he has a guaranteed spot in all Tubi movies for the remainder of his career. The interview was absolutely horrible and he should fire his entire team!

Jonathan Majors is a horrible person.— Amber ✨ (@amberjewel13) January 8, 2024
Majors essentially says it was “like the world stopped” when he received the verdict, and furthermore, he adds:
“It’s like you work so hard for things. And then, you know, it’s done.”
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Jonathan Majors as we have them. It’s clear that the outcome of his trial will have a major impact on his career going forward, if he manages to get back into acting.
Though he wishes to continue his work in the film industry, it’s clear that this will have pushed him several steps back. Especially when he was beginning to play one of his biggest roles yet: Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
