Jonathan Majors has reached the last leg of his assault case involving his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. On Monday (April 8), a judge sentenced the ‘Creed III” actor to probation and counseling.
As previously reported, a Manhattan jury convicted Majors of misdemeanor assault and harassment in December. He was initially facing up to a year in prison. However, Judge Michael Gaffey gave him probation and a year-long counseling program along with mental health therapy. Jonathan will also have to complete an in-person batterer’s intervention program, per Associated Press.
After the sentencing, Majors reportedly did not comment as he left the courtroom.

During a victim impact statement Monday, Jabbari said the incident left her with extreme emotional and physical pain.
And while this criminal case chapter is closed for Jonathan, Jabbari has plans to get him back in the courtroom. Last month, Jabbari filed a civil suit in Manhattan federal court. In the suit, she accused the actor of assault, battery, defamation, and inflicting emotional distress, per AP.
She claims Majors subjected her to escalating incidents of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship, which lasted from 2021 to 2023.
Majors’ lawyers have declined to respond to the claims, saying only that they are preparing to file counterclaims against Jabbari.
Here’s What Happened In The Assault Case
The conviction stemmed from an altercation last March in whichMajors’’ then-girlfriend Grace 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.
Majors claimed the 31-year-old British dancer was the aggressor, flying into a jealous rage after reading a text message from another woman on his phone. He maintained he was only trying to regain his phone and get away from Jabbari safely.

His legal efforts to get his conviction tossed out reportedly failed in court last week. At the time, his lawyers addressed what’s next for the actor.”
“As he eagerly anticipates closing this chapter, he looks forward to redirecting his time and energy fully toward his family and his art,” Majors’ lawyers said in a statement.
It’s unclear what the sentencing will bring for Jonathan career-wise. Following the guilty verdict last year, Marvel Studios immediately dropped the actor. At the time, he was cast as Kang the Conqueror, a role envisioned as the main villain in the entertainment empire’s movies and television shows for years to come.
One thing the actor can seem to count on at this time is his girlfriend, Meagan Good, stickin’ beside him. The actress has publicly stood by him through the trial and after. She has not publicly spoken on his sentencing though!
