Jonathan Majors Convicted of Assaulting Former Girlfriend
Actor Jonathan Majors has been convicted of assaulting his former girlfriend during a confrontation in New York City earlier this year.
Verdict and Consequences
Jonathan Majors was found guilty of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation stemming from his March confrontation with his former girlfriend. The verdict led to Marvel Studios and the Walt Disney Co. dropping Majors from all upcoming projects. He faces the possibility of up to a year in jail for the assault conviction.
Majors' Legal Defense
Majors' lawyers argued that his former girlfriend was the aggressor in the confrontation and that Majors was only trying to get his phone back and escape safely. They alleged that her accusations were part of a plot to harm Majors' career. However, the trial brought forth new evidence, including text messages and audio recordings, that portrayed Majors as controlling and prone to explosive rage.
Impact on Majors' Career
Before his arrest, Majors had been on the rise in Hollywood and was set to become a central figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, his conviction led to him being removed from all upcoming projects with Marvel and Disney. This includes the highly anticipated 'Avengers: The Kang Dynasty' film. Majors' career has taken a significant blow, and his future in the industry is uncertain.
