Actor Jonathan Majors, who has starred in major films like “Creed III” and “The Harder They Fall,” has been found guilty of assault and harassment by a New York jury. The two-week trial centered around an alleged attack on Majors’ former girlfriend in a car, leaving her with injuries.
Prosecutors Paint a Picture of Violent Assault
Prosecutors argued that Majors attacked his girlfriend in 2020 while driving, causing her to suffer bruises and a chipped tooth. They presented evidence, including medical records and witness testimony, to support their claims.

Majors maintained his innocence throughout the trial, calling his girlfriend’s accusations “completely false.” His defense team argued that the injuries were sustained in an accidental fall and that the relationship had ended amicably.
Conviction Has Major Repercussions for Majors’ Career
The conviction has already had a significant impact on Majors’ career. Marvel Studios, which had cast Majors in a leading role in its upcoming film “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” has dropped him from the project. It is unclear what other professional consequences Majors may face.
Domestic Violence a Serious Issue
The case has also brought renewed attention to the issue of domestic violence. One in four women in the United States will experience domestic violence at some point in their lives.
