Jonathan Majors, once a rising Hollywood star, experienced a significant career downfall beginning with his arrest on March 25, 2023, for domestic violence charges involving his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. He was charged with assault, strangulation, and harassment after an incident where Jabbari sustained minor injuries to her head and neck. Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment for striking Jabbari on the head with an open hand and injuring her finger by squeezing it
. Despite Majors' repeated public claims of innocence, including stating "My hands have never struck a woman," audio recordings released by Rolling Stone revealed him admitting to having "aggressed" Jabbari, corroborating her account of him choking her and pushing her against a vehicle
. The incident reportedly escalated from a dispute in London in 2022, where Majors became enraged with Jabbari, leading to physical aggression
. Following the arrest and conviction, Majors faced professional consequences including being dropped by Marvel Studios from his role as Kang the Conqueror, removal from advertising campaigns, and losing representation by management and PR firms. His film Magazine Dreams was initially pulled from release schedules but later released as part of his attempted comeback
. Jabbari filed a civil lawsuit against Majors, which she later dropped after reaching a settlement in late 2024. Majors was sentenced to a year-long counseling program and avoided jail time
. There have also been public allegations from two previous girlfriends describing patterns of abusive and controlling behavior by Majors over about a decade, although these testimonies were excluded from the trial
. Majors is currently attempting a swift career resurgence, but skepticism remains regarding his claims of transformation and innocence
. In summary, Jonathan Majors' career was derailed by his 2023 arrest and conviction for assault and harassment of Grace Jabbari, with subsequent revelations and lawsuits painting a complex picture of alleged abuse. He is now on a public redemption effort while facing ongoing scrutiny
