Jonathan Majors' Assault Trial Begins in New York City

The actor, known for his roles in 'Creed III' and Marvel projects, faces up to a year in jail if convicted of charges from a March dispute with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.

Jonathan Majors, known for his roles in 'Creed III' and Marvel projects, has begun his assault trial in New York City. The actor faces up to one year in jail if convicted of misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and harassment charges from a March dispute with his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
Majors has pleaded not guilty and his defense attorneys have claimed that he is the victim in the incident. Jabbari was also briefly arrested based on Majors' allegations, but the district attorney’s office declined to pursue the charges.
The trial has been delayed several times and is expected to continue through most or all of the week before opening arguments begin. The judge will also consider whether to unseal documents related to a police report taken in London six months prior to the incident involving Majors and Jabbari.
Since his arrest, Majors has been dropped from various projects and his public relations firm. However, he has retained his role in the Marvel franchise, reprising his role as Kang for Season 2 of Disney Plus’s 'Loki'.
Majors has been seen attending court with his new girlfriend, actress Meagan Good. Some legal experts have advised against this, suggesting it could negatively impact the judge's perception of Majors.
