Jonathan Majors Wants A Hollywood Comeback. He Still Hasn't Done 1 Thing.
HuffPost
The actor, who was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend in December 2023, has been trying to rehab his image.
Ever since Jonathan Majors was arrested in March 2023 on charges that he assaulted and harassed his ex-girlfriend, he and his backers have carried on as if he is the victim and tried to desperately push for his comeback.
Last June, six months after he was found guilty of assaulting British choreographer and dancer Grace Jabbari, Majors received the Perseverance Award at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards. As he tearfully accepted his honors, he portrayed himself as yet another casualty of injustice.
“As a Black man in the criminal justice system, I felt anger, I felt sadness, hurt, surprise,” he said at the time.
“This is what happens to Black people all too often,” Majors continued. “Guilt or innocence often have little to do with the outcome. That’s a harsh reality I learned.”
Iyanla Vanzant, who presented him the award, delivered a passionate speech in which she stressed to Majors that God “knows your heart and will continue to show you mercy for the excellence that you bring to the mastery of your craft despite the opinion of human beings.”
