Actor Jonathan Majors, who was convicted of domestic violence has avoided jail. He was sentenced to a year of domestic violence counselling on Monday. Majors, who has appeared in the Marvel film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, also has to continue therapy and stay away from his former girlfriend Grace Jabbari.
Justice Michael Gaffey of the state Supreme Court in Manhattan imposed the sentence. In her statement, Jabbari said that she had been left in emotional and physical pain.
Majors denied assaulting Jabbari and said she had assaulted him. In March, she sued Majors for defamation, assault, battery, and inflicting emotional distress.
Majors and Jabbari were reportedly in a car when she saw that he received a text from another woman. When Jabbari took his phone to see the text, he twisted her arm and hit her on her head. She also said Majors had a "violent temper" and "exploded" in anger on other occasions, according to a Reuters report.
Majors rose to fame after starring in the film, 2019 film The Last Black Man in San Francisco. He also starred in Creed III. Following his domestic violence conviction, Marvel parted ways with Major.
