In a stunning twist to an already complicated story, new audio has surfaced of actor Jonathan Majors admitting to strangling his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The audio was obtained by Rolling Stone and has ignited a firestorm of discussions about Majors’ past behavior and the future of his career.
What Does the Audio Say?
The conversation recorded in September 2022 reveals Majors responding affirmatively when Jabbari accuses him of strangling her and pushing her against a car. He admits to ‘aggressing’ her, which he later clarifies during the audio. This moment follows an altercation that took place in London while Majors was working on the series ‘Loki.’
- The recording captures Majors saying, “Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah.”
- Jabbari had previously claimed that Majors had physically assaulted her, prompting her to file a civil lawsuit against him. This lawsuit was eventually settled.
- Notably, this new evidence surfaces after Majors was convicted of lesser charges related to a different incident with Jabbari in December 2023.
- During the trial, many prior allegations against Majors were not allowed to be presented, which has raised concerns about the integrity of his legal proceedings.
The Background on Majors’ Legal Troubles
Jonathan Majors has seen himself at the center of legal battles for quite some time. In December 2023, he was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment. This conviction involved an incident where Jabbari sustained injuries. Following this, he was sentenced to probation and mandated to attend a 52-week domestic violence intervention program. As a result of his legal problems, Marvel Studios, known for its blockbuster franchises, decided to part ways with Majors, pulling him from his role as Kang the Conqueror.
Mixed Support from Co-Stars
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Majors has received support from some high-profile co-stars. Actors like Whoopi Goldberg, Michael B. Jordan, and Matthew McConaughey are among those who have expressed backing for him. While they hope for his return to the big screen, some of his ex-girlfriends harbor doubts about his changes. For instance, another ex-girlfriend, Maura Hooper, openly questioned the validity of his claimed redemption.
What’s Next for Majors?
Looking toward the future, Majors remains hopeful about his acting career. His upcoming film, ‘Magazine Dreams,’ is set to be released soon, and he hopes the audience will respond positively to his performance. More importantly, he has spoken about wanting to learn from his past mistakes and contribute positively to society.
