Jonathan Majors Reflects on Career Fallout and Personal Trauma Post-Conviction

The actor opens up about his childhood abuse, Marvel firing, and attempts to rebuild his life and career after a domestic violence conviction.

Jonathan Majors was convicted in December 2023 of misdemeanor assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, leading to a year-long domestic violence intervention program and probation.
Majors disclosed in therapy that he experienced sexual abuse from both men and women starting at age 9, which he says shaped aspects of his behavior and relationships.
After his conviction, Marvel Studios fired Majors, replacing his role as Kang the Conqueror with Robert Downey Jr. portraying Doctor Doom in the revamped Avengers storyline.
Majors is promoting his film 'Magazine Dreams,' set for release on March 21, 2025, and exploring new acting opportunities, including a potential non-Marvel superhero project and an independent thriller.
Hollywood figures like Michael B. Jordan, Matthew McConaughey, and Whoopi Goldberg have voiced support for Majors, while others remain skeptical about his redemption and career comeback.
