Marvel star Jonathan Majors has been sentenced to a year-long domestic violence intervention program for assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
Majors will spend six months in jail if he fails to complete the program, as per request from prosecutors. His harassment charge was dismissed.
Jabbari, who was involved in a domestic violence incident with Majors in March 2023, was present during the hearing and got visibly emotional as she tore into her ex-boyfriend.
‘He is not sorry, he has not accepted responsibility and he will do this again,’ she said. ‘He will hurt other women. This is a man who believes he is above the law.’
The sentencing came after Majors, 34, arrived in a New York court on Monday morning with his current girlfriend Meagan Good by his side.
The couple both donned dark outfits with long coats and wore sunglasses as they entered the courthouse holding hands.

The charges stem from a conflict that began in the backseat of a chauffeured car in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood with Jabbari.
According to prosecutors, during the altercation, Jabbari grabbed his phone after seeing a text she believed was from another woman, reading, ‘Wish I was kissing you right now.’
As Majors attempted to get his phone back, he pulled Jabbari’s finger, wrenched her arm behind her back and struck her face.
The driver stopped the vehicle and Jabbari, a British dancer and choreographer, attempted to exit. However, Majors threw her back in.
Majors spent part of the night in a hotel but later returned home, prosecutors said.
There he found Jabbari, who said she fell asleep – but Majors insisted he thought she had fallen unconscious after attempting to commit suicide.
The ‘Creed III’ actor called 911, but when a dispatcher asked him to explain what had happened to Jabbari, he said, ‘I don’t know.’
Police arrested Majors on domestic abuse allegations, but he was released with a limited temporary restraining order.
The following day, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office filed three counts of third-degree assault, one count of second-degree harassment and one count of aggravated harassment against him.
In December, a jury found him guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment, a misdemeanor and a violation that carries a sentence of up to one year in prison.

Jabbari was granted a full restraining order on April 27, 2023, barring Majors from contacting her.
In June, Majors went to police with his own allegations against the choreographer, claiming she had been the aggressor.
In October 2023, Jabbari was arrested in New York on misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief charges, but the Manhattan DA’s office did not prosecute her because the case lacks prosecutorial merit.’
In March, Jabbari filed a civil complaint against Majors that said that she was seeking damages for the injuries she suffered from the incident and has alleged that Majors committed ‘intentional infliction of emotional distress’ against her.
Images of her injuries showed Jabbari’s swollen fingers and marks on her neck, along with a cut behind her ear.
In the complaint, Jabbari also alleged that her ex-boyfriend ‘made knowingly false statements’ about her during a January interview with ABC News- his first since he was convicted.
‘Put bluntly, Majors’s defense to Grace’s descriptions of the numerous acts of violence Majors perpetrated against her was to brazenly defame her and label her a liar on all claims,’ the complaint said.
‘Defendant intended his false and defamatory statements to be broadcast around the world.’
Her complaint also alleged malicious prosecution by Majors after he said that he was the one that was assaulted during the altercation.

Brittany Henderson, Jabbari’s attorney told ABC News: ‘It takes true bravery to hold someone with this level of power and acclaim accountable. Bravery that Grace Jabbari has demonstrated at every stage of the legal process.’
‘We strongly believe that through this action, truth and transparency will bring Grace the just that she deserves.’
