Jonathan Majors has given his first interview since being found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. In the interview he addressed the sentence by saying he was “shocked and scared” and at one point he seemed to wipe away a tear. The actor also said that he believes that one day he will work in Hollywood again.
When asked in his interview with Good morning America if he hoped to resume his career in Hollywood, he said, “Yes. Yes, I do. I pray that I do. It’s God’s plan and God’s time.” When asked if he believes he deserves a second chance in Hollywood, he said, “I think so. I hope other people think that.”
He said of the experience of hearing the verdict: “I’m there and the verdict is given. I say, “How is that possible based on the evidence, the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence?” How is it possible?”
Majors went on to say that he “never hit a woman,” but said that his relationship with Jabbari was unhealthy after they met on the set of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. He said: “I was careless with her heart, not with his body.”
She also addressed the altercation with Jabbari in New York City, saying, “She went to get the phone. I held the phone. I pulled the phone back. She came at me, she squeezed my face, she slapped me. That’s all I remember.
Majors says he doesn’t know how Jabbari got her injuries, which included a fractured finger and a cut behind her ear, and said: “I wish I knew. This would provide clarity. That would give me some peace about it.” She added: “I’m an athlete. I’m a sportsman. I know my body. I know how he moves. I know my strength, or lack thereof, you know? None of this was used on her.
Seeing some of the reactions to this interview he gave, I’m not sure the interview helped his cause. Jabbari’s lawyer told ABC News that Majors “continues to take no responsibility for his actions.”
The actor is currently awaiting a Feb. 6 sentencing on misdemeanor charges.
EXCLUSIVE: “This has been very, very, very difficult and very difficult and confusing in many ways.”
