Jonathan Majors is staying positive in the midst of his recent downfall.
The actor, who was hit with a guilty verdict in his domestic violence case with an ex-girlfriend, claims that he is fine and is focusing on his faith to get him through the tough times.
Jonathan Majors Remains Hopeful About His Life After Shocking Guilty Verdict
The focus on religion seems to have benefited Majors greatly, as he wore a happy and relaxed expression when the US media caught up with him recently. During the short chat, the 34-year-old actor revealed that he has relied on faith and prayer for light during these dark times, stressing, “God is good.”
Despite the assurances, the “Creed III” star chose not to answer questions about future work, indicating that he preferred not to discuss it at the time. His silence on the matter is not surprising, as his guilty verdict has led to him being removed from various Hollywood projects, including all Marvel projects.
Since Marvel projects are usually financial highlights for the actor, fans have considered having the rug pulled from under his feet a significant disappointment for him.

Late last year, Majors was found guilty of two of the four charges related to the alleged abuse of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The charges included reckless assault and harassment, while he was acquitted of aggravated harassment and willful assault.
The father of one continued to affirm his innocence despite the court’s decision, per TMZ. The outlet reported that while he denied any wrongdoing, he expressed regret for the way he handled the situation with his ex-girlfriend.
It remains uncertain whether Majors will deliver the same message before a judge during his sentencing on February 6, where he could face up to a year in prison.
While previously speaking about his involvement in Jabbari’s injuries sustained during their altercation in the back of a Cadillac Escalade on March 25, 2023, he said:
“I shouldn’t be in the car. I shouldn’t have gotten out of the relationship. I shouldn’t be in that relationship. If I hadn’t been in the car, none of this would have happened.”
When asked if he was responsible for the incident but not the injury, Majors simply replied, “Can’t say that. There were no injuries.”
As for how she felt about her assault trial and subsequent verdict, The Blast reports that the 34-year-old actress admitted to feeling “shocked” by the jury’s verdict. In his words:
“I was really shocked and scared. How is that possible? Based on the evidence, based on the prosecution’s evidence, not to mention our evidence.”

Before Majors opened up about her feelings, her ex broke her silence for the first time since she was convicted of assault and harassment.
The Blast noted that Jabbari’s speech came via his Instagram Stories, where he expressed his gratitude to the domestic violence charity, Sanctuary for Families, who supported him throughout the trial.
“For my birthday, if you want… a donation to sffny, a charity that helped me a lot this year, is the best gift you can give. Thank you so much sffny, and everyone… for everything,” he wrote on social media at the time.
Like Jabbari, the charity also released a statement after Majors’ guilty verdict, revealing their pride in representing the British dancer during the trial. They wrote:
“Sanctuary for Families is proud to have represented Ms. Jabbari throughout this process and will continue to support her on her journey to justice and healing.”
Another entity that spoke about Majors’ guilty verdict was the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. In a statement released after the hearing, District Attorney Alvin Bragg reiterated the DA’s commitment to putting survivors first before adding:
“The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrates the cycle of psychological and emotional abuse and escalating patterns of coercion that are all too common in many cases of intimate partner violence that we see every day. Today, a jury ruled that a pattern of abuse and coercion culminated in Mr Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend. We thank the jury for their service and the survivor for having the courage to tell her story despite having to relive her trauma in the stands.”
