Now his career is in ruins after he was found guilty of assault and harassment against his former girlfriend Grace Jabbari
Movie star Jonathan Majors has lost a string of lucrative and high profile deals since he was first accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in March 2023.
At the time, Majors, 34, was considered one of the fastest rising stars in Hollywood on the back of his turns in Creed III, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki.
He was also thought to be have been in serious consideration for the role of Otis Redding in the biopic Otis and Zelma.
In addition to his acting roles, he also secured major endorsement deals with the US Army and MLB’s Texas Rangers.
On Monday, Majors was found guilty in a Manhattan court of assault and aggravated harassment. Almost immediately, Disney and Marvel announced that they would no longer be working with the California native.
Majors has maintained his innocence on the charges. At court, he was acquitted of one count of assault.
Around the time of his original arrest, a US Army recruitment campaign launched starring Majors.
The ads were pulled on March 26 ‘until the investigation into these allegations is complete.’
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Majors was hired for the ads because of his appeal to Generation Z.
Less than a month later, Variety reported that Majors was dropped by his talent agency, Entertainment 360. He also lost his public relations team at the Lede Company around this time.
Majors also missed out on a prestigious ticket to the Met Gala as a guest of Italian fashion brand, Valentino. The two parties apparently ‘mutually agreed’ that he would not attend the A-list event.
Major League Baseball’s Texas Rangers also cut Majors from an advertising deal around this time. Majors spent formative years in the Dallas area and was a fan of the team.
The actor was also dropped from the upcoming The Man in my Basement, an adaptation of the Walter Mosley novel. His role is being recast. It was also widely reported that he’s no longer in the running for Otis and Zelma, the Otis Redding biopic.
