In a shocking development, newly surfaced audio recordings have revealed that actor Jonathan Majors admitted to strangling his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. This significant revelation comes after Majors was already facing serious accusations concerning his behavior and his past legal troubles.
What Happened?
The audio, obtained by Rolling Stone, captures a conversation in which Majors acknowledges his actions towards Jabbari, during a heated fight that took place in September 2022 while he was filming in London. During this altercation, Jabbari alleged that Majors had not only choked her but also physically thrown her against a car and dragged her home. In the recording, Majors referred to the situation as him “aggressing” towards Jabbari, validating her claims of abuse.
A History of Accusations
- In March 2023, Majors was convicted of reckless assault and harassment in a separate incident involving Jabbari.
- Jabbari reportedly suffered serious injuries during the September altercation, including a fractured finger and cuts.
- Majors has consistently denied these allegations and claims to be non-violent towards women, despite evidence that includes audio recordings and testimony.
- In addition to Jabbari, other former partners of Majors have accused him of emotional and physical abuse.
The Legal Consequences
Following his conviction in December 2023 for the earlier assault, Majors was sentenced to complete a 52-week domestic violence intervention program. This legal outcome and the recent audio revelation have cast a dark cloud over his career, leading to significant consequences, including his dismissal from Marvel studios.
Continuing His Career Amid Controversy
In spite of these challenges, Majors has focused on his career. The release of his film *Magazine Dreams*, which was delayed, is scheduled for March 2024. Some industry insiders still believe in his acting talents, and Majors has expressed his desire to continue making films, even as he works on personal growth and accountability for his actions.
Public Reaction and Future
The public’s response to Majors has been mixed, with some supporting him and others expressing skepticism about his claims of redemption and personal change. Notably, another ex-girlfriend, Maura Hooper, has openly doubted Majors’ sincerity in his efforts to improve himself. As this complex story unfolds, it raises significant questions about personal responsibility, redemption, and the impact of allegations on professional life.
