Jonathan Majors Says He Was on Suicide Watch, Credits Meagan Good’s Support

He links his crisis to long-standing trauma rather than recent public fallout.

Overview

  • Speaking on Kirk Franklin’s Den of Kings podcast, Majors said he told his wife, Meagan Good, “I just don’t want it,” after struggling with suicidal thoughts.
  • He said Good made sure he was never alone during his lowest moments, which he described as crucial to his safety.
  • Majors attributed his state to isolation, ostracism, humiliation and abandonment that he believes trace back years.
  • He recalled past self-destructive behavior, citing heavy drinking, smoking despite not being a smoker, living on rooftops, a drug overdose and writing a goodbye letter.
  • Guests Kevin Fredericks, NLE Choppa, Ray J and Dr. Jay Barnett praised his candor, and the discussion was framed as a call for more open dialogue about Black men’s mental health.
