ABC reports that actor Jonathan Majors has officially
been dropped by Disney after being found guilty of
third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. .
In a split verdict, the actor was also acquitted of
two counts of assault and aggravated harassment.
The decision by Disney, the parent company of
Marvel, means that Majors will not make any
future appearances as the Marvel villain Kang.
The charges against Majors stem
from a March incident with
Grace Jabbari, his girlfriend at the time.
The actor, who faces up to a year in
prison for the two misdemeanor counts,
is scheduled to be sentenced on February 6.
ABC reports that a prison sentence is unlikely
for Majors, as he is a first-time offender.
The judge overseeing the case also renewed
an order of protection, barring Majors from
having any contact with Jabbari.
At the Manhattan D.A.’s Office,
we are committed to centering
survivors in all of our work, Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney, via ABC.
The evidence presented throughout
this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological
and emotional abuse, and escalating
patterns of coercion far too common
across the many intimate partner violence
cases we see each and every day. , Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney, via ABC.
Today, a jury determined that the pattern
of abuse and coercion culminated with
Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing
his girlfriend. We thank the jury
for its service and the survivor for
bravely telling her story despite having
to relive her trauma on the stand, Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney, via ABC
