Jonathan Majors Denies Abusing His Ex-Girlfriend in First Interview Since Guilty Verdict in His Assault Trial: ‘Did Not Happen’

Jonathan Majors reflected on his tumultuous relationship with Grace Jabbari in his first interview since the actor was found guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend.

Majors was arrested in March 2023 over a reported domestic dispute with Jabbari — during which he fractured her finger and left a cut on her ear. The incident occurred when Jabbari confronted Majors while in an SUV after she saw suggestive texts from another woman on his phone. The argument became physical, and hours later, Majors called the police when he found Jabbari unconscious at their home.

As the actor stood trial, the jury was shown numerous pieces of evidence that pointed to Majors’ mistreatment of Jabbari. This included surveillance footage from the SUV incident, and audio of another incident where Majors lambasted Jabbari by saying she should be supporting him like Coretta Scott King or Michelle Obama supported their husbands.

ABC’s Linsey Davis sat down with Majors for an interview which aired Monday, and after asking him why he was speaking out now, she asked what he thought about being found guilty.

“I was absolutely shocked and afraid,” Majors said. “I’m standing there and the verdict comes down, and I say ‘How is that possible? Based off the evidence, based off the prosecution’s evidence — let alone our evidence — how is that possible?”

Davis recounted Jabbari’s allegations about what Majors did to her inside the car, but Majors insisted “that did not happen.”

“How did those injuries come about?” Davis asked.

“I wish to God I knew,” Majors answered. “That would give clarity. That would give me some type of peace about it.”

Asked if he holds himself at all responsible for Jabbari’s injuries, Majors said, “I shouldn’t have been in the car. I shouldn’t have stepped out of the relationship. I shouldn’t have been in the relationship.”

“If I’m not in the car, none of this is happening. If I leave the relationship, none of this is happening. If I’m man enough or brave enough to say, ‘I want to see someone else’ or ‘I’m done now,’ I’m not in that car. We’re not here. I’m responsible for those things.”

“But none of her injuries,” Davis pressed.

“Can’t say that,” Majors responded. “None of her injuries.”
