Jonathan Majors Admits To Strangling Grace Jabbari
A recently unearthed audio obtained by Rolling Stone features Majors and his ex, Jabbari, talking after what appeared to be a fight between them.
The September 2022 audio saw the former Marvel star seemingly admit to choking Jabbari and being aggressive with her.
“I’m ashamed [as] I’ve ever [been] …,” Majors said in the footage. “I’ve never [been] aggressive with a woman before. I’ve never aggressed a woman — I aggressed you.”
His then-girlfriend interjected, “You strangled me and pushed me against the car.”
“Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah,” Majors replied. “That’s never happened to me.”

Jabbari then asked Majors if she had something that made him get violent with her.
“Because I said something sarcastically, in your eyes?” the professional dancer asked.
“Well, clearly, it’s more than that,” Majors said in response, prompting Jabbari to add, “Something inside of you.”
“Yeah, towards you,” the actor noted as the recording ended.

The Actor Was Found Guilty Of Assault And Harassment
In December 2023, Majors was found guilty of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation after a March 2023 fight he had with Jabbari.
However, he was cleared of charges of aggravated harassment and assault with intent to cause physical harm.
The actor evaded jail time in the judgment and was required to participate in 52 weeks of therapy for domestic violence programming.
Due to the legal battle, Majors lost many projects, including his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel franchise.
He has since been on a path to redeem his career and is set to play a lead role in Martin Villeneuve’s upcoming horror film, “Merciless.”
Majors’ film, “Magazine Dreams,” will also be hitting theaters on March 21.

Jonathan Majors Faced Other Accusations After His Conviction
Multiple women have also accused Majors of assault and harassment. According to a New York Times report, several of the actor’s former girlfriends, colleagues, and film set workers have shared accounts of their negative experiences with Majors.
In pretrial statements to the prosecution against Majors for Jabbari’s case and in interviews with the publication, Emma Duncan, a former girlfriend, accused Majors of emotionally and physically abusing her.
Duncan claimed the “Creed III” actor choked her, threw her around, and bruised her on several occasions.
She said that dating him was a straight road to losing “your sense of worth.”
Another ex-girlfriend, Maura Hooper, also told NYT that Majors had emotionally abused her during their relationship. Both women are actresses who dated Majors before he rose to fame.

The Actor Was Labeled A ‘Controlling, Threatening Figure’
In the New York Times report, Majors was described as a “controlling, threatening figure who isolated” his partners from all their friends and career pursuits.
From interviews with actors and film set workers, it was alleged that Majors was known for his volatility on the set of the HBO series “Lovecraft Country.”
During his time on the set, he reportedly had multiple confrontations with female co-workers that led them to file a complaint to the network.
Responding to the claims made in the report, Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chauhdry, said, “Mr. Majors is a method actor, well-respected for his ability to immerse himself in character. Countless female producers, co-stars, and members on set can attest to his professionalism.”
Jonathan Majors Is Engaged To Meagan Good
During his court battles, one person who consistently stood by Majors’ side during his trials was his partner, Meagan Good.
Late last year, it was confirmed that the duo had gotten engaged. Though the exact timing of the proposal remains unclear, Majors and Good made their engagement known during their appearance at the Ebony Power 100 Gala in Los Angeles.
When asked about their relationship, the actress boldly declared they were “in love” and called Majors “the one.”
According to TMZ, she also flashed a stunning diamond ring on her finger, which drew cheers from the paparazzi.
