Jonathan Majors 'Looks Forward to Fully Clearing His Name' After He's Found Guilty of Assault, Says His Lawyer

Majors was found guilty of misdemeanor assault in the third degree recklessly causing physical injury and harassment in the second degree

Jonathan Majors intends to "fully" clear his name after the actor was found guilty in his misdemeanor assault trial.

Priya Chaudhry, one of Majors’s defense lawyers, issued a statement on Monday after he was found guilty of two charges in a split verdict.

"It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her," the statement read. "We are grateful for that. We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him. Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months. Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name."

Majors, 34, was found guilty of two charges: misdemeanor assault in the third degree, recklessly causing physical injury as well as harassment in the second degree, which is a violation. The actor was found not guilty of misdemeanor assault in the third degree with intent to cause physical injury and misdemeanor aggravated harassment in the second degree.

The charges were in connection with an alleged fight between him and his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, that spilled onto the streets of Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood in March.

The March charges put a halt to the actor’s rising stardom, which in the early part of 2023 saw Majors starring alongside Michael B. Jordan in Creed III and as the villainous Kang the Conqueror in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Disney’s highly anticipated Magazine Dreams, starring Majors as an amateur bodybuilder, had even generated Oscar buzz, before the studio pulled the film from its release roster.

The more than two-week-long trial in Manhattan’s criminal court included 12 witnesses by Manhattan prosecutors and three more by the defense.

Over four days of testimony at the start of trial, Jabbari told the jury that her boyfriend of more than a year and a half had often slipped into “rage and aggression” during their relationship, and that in March they had gotten into a physical altercation, leading to his arrest.

The actor’s legal troubles may not be over. Other former partners of Majors have also reportedly alleged abuse, going back nearly a decade.
