Jonathan Majors, once an up-and-coming actor who scored a major role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, received his sentencing this week for his role in an attack on his former girlfriend last year.
According to the Associated Press, Majors, who was facing at least one year in prison, escaped with probation and mandatory counseling programs.
On Monday, Majors was sentenced by Judge Michael Gaffey to a conditional discharge, which included “a 52-week, in-person batterer’s intervention program in Los Angeles.” He will also be required to continue undergoing mental health treatment.
In addition to the required treatment programs, Majors will also be required to pay a $250 fine, and will be on probation. Any violations will result in penalties and likely jail time.

The sentencing also included a “no-contact order” regarding his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari.
Upon leaving his sentencing hearing, Majors, with his current girlfriend Meagan Good, refused to address reporters or answer questions. His attorney, Priya Chaudhry, noted that he chose not to make any statements given a pending civil suit that was filed against him by Jabbari.
“He’s lost his whole career,” Chaudhry said in court, referencing being fired by Marvel Studios in the wake of being found guilty. “This has been the most challenging year of his life.”
Jabbari’s perspective was quite different, as she expressed frustration and anger that he won’t take accountability for his actions, even going as far as suggesting he’s a danger to those around him.
“He’s not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility, “Jabbari said in court. “He will do this again and he will hurt other women. He believes he is above the law.”
“I was so emotionally dependent on him,” she added. “I became a different person around him — small, scared and vulnerable.”
AP noted:
The conviction stemmed from an altercation last March in which Jabbari accused him of attacking her in the backseat of a chauffeured car, saying he hit her head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it fractured.
However, Majors and his attorney argued during the trial that Jabbari was the “aggressor” in the situation, blaming the situation on a fit of jealousy after she reportedly read a text message from another woman on his cell phone.
Only time will tell if Majors is able to abide by the terms of his extremely lucky sentencing circumstances.
