Shortly after the release of Creed III and while he was still considered a possible salvation for the MCU, Jonathan Majors ‘ career was derailed due to a domestic violence accusation. At first it seemed that the interpreter could fix everything outside of the courts, but things escalated and today the trial that could take him to jail finally begins. The opening arguments have already been leaked and, as expected, the actor’s legal team claims that his ex-partner is planning a personal revenge.

Jonathan Majors’ future was bright

Thanks to Lovecraft Country Majors’ name began to become popular among the public and production companies, and when Marvel announced that he would play the new villain of the Multiverse Saga, it seemed clear that the actor’s future was assured. Apparently, the performer had all the virtues to shine in Hollywood, including a very complicated past that he seemed to have overcome to dedicate himself to the arts. His talent was praised by various directors and producers, and all doors were open for him.

His appearance in the first season of Loki showed that Kang’s character could be terrifying and it would be very interesting to see Majors bring him to life in various ways throughout the saga, and even in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it was his work that best connected with the critics who despised the sequel. 2023 was the decisive year in his career, but everything fell apart after a chaotic night that ended with him being arrested for assaulting his girlfriend.

It took a while for the media to give genuine details about what happened, since first it was reported that the actor had fought with a woman and until later it was confirmed that it had been his partner, and that the arrest took place at his home. Majors’ legal team got to work immediately and clarified that in certain cases where partner abuse is suspected, arrest is protocol, but it had nothing to do with their client’s innocence. At that time it was also said that the performer’s partner and alleged victim had stated that she had been responsible for starting the incident.

But this did not help Majors at all, as the public reacted to the victim’s messages saying that they reflected constant abuse on the part of the actor and that she was still trapped in that toxic relationship and it was normal for her to try to blame herself. Shortly after, several artists and directors came out claiming that all of Hollywood knew that he was a very violent abuser, but everything was kept secret because that is what industry law dictates and because he was a very promising name.

The trial against Jonathan Majors finally began
After several delays, The Hollywood Reporter announced that the trial against Majors has already begun with a jury selected and the first opening arguments. According to the media, Michael Perez , assistant district attorney, the trial will prove that the actor has several histories of violence and will show the jury how his employer worked with the victim, because in addition to the physical and mental abuse, he also tried to control and manipulate her by threatening her with suicide if she didn’t do what he said.

As a first approach, the lawyer revealed a different incident from the one that led to Majors’ arrest that began when Grace Jabbari , his ex-partner, returned from a night out with her friends and found herself annoyed by the actor, who began throwing things and telling her that She had to live up to women like Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King , wife of Martin Luther King , if she wanted to be with him, since he was a good man.

For its part, the actor’s defense, led by lawyer Priya Chaudhry , assures that the whole matter is revenge against Majors for ending the relationship:

[Majors] is a father, a poet, a devout and practicing Christian, and an actor. Although the world may see him as a movie star, Mr. Majors is a normal person, flaws and all.
In revenge, [she] made these false accusations to ruin Jonathan Majors and take away everything he has worked his entire life for.

The trial is just beginning and could last up to two weeks, so more information about the events and evidence is sure to come. The media will be watching everything, because if found guilty, Jonathan Majors could spend up to a year behind bars.
