Jonathan Majors Admits to Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend Grace Jabbari in Leaked Audio: A Career in Crisis

The career of actor Jonathan Majors is facing turbulent times as a recently leaked audio recording reveals his admission of physically assaulting his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The audio, obtained by Rolling Stone, is currently circulating and generating strong reactions in Hollywood and beyond.

Details of the Leaked Audio

The recording captures a conversation between Majors and Jabbari, reportedly from September 2022, discussing an altercation that occurred while they were living together in London. In the audio, Majors expresses remorse, stating, «I am more ashamed than ever. I have never been aggressive with a woman before. I have never assaulted a woman… I assaulted you.» Jabbari responds by saying, «You strangled me and pushed me against the car,» to which Majors concedes, «Yes, all those things fall under ‘assault,’ yes.»

Legal Battles and Convictions

This admission comes after Majors was found guilty in December 2023 on charges of assault and harassment related to a separate incident in New York in March of the same year. According to El Imparcial (2025), Majors avoided jail time but was sentenced to probation and ordered to complete a 52-week domestic violence intervention program.

Civil Lawsuit and Allegations of Abuse

Adding to Majors' legal woes, Jabbari filed a civil lawsuit against him in March 2024, accusing him of defamation, assault, and physical harm. Court documents detailed disturbing allegations, including an incident in September 2022 where Majors allegedly threw Jabbari onto the hood of a car, restrained her with a headlock, and covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. According to Jabbari, Majors then dragged her to their London home, where he allegedly struck her head against a marble floor and strangled her until she felt unable to breathe.

Professional Fallout

The consequences of these accusations and admissions have been severe for Majors' career. Marvel Studios terminated his contract, effectively removing him from future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects, where he was portraying the villain Kang the Conqueror. As reported by El Imparcial (2025), the loss of this role is a significant blow, given the character's central importance to the MCU's future storylines.

Beyond Marvel, Majors has faced numerous professional repercussions. Several advertising contracts were canceled, resulting in the loss of lucrative deals with high-profile brands that relied on his public image. Talent agencies and public relations firms distanced themselves from him, further diminishing his presence in the entertainment industry.

Settlement and Personal Revelations

In November 2024, Majors and Jabbari reached a settlement to resolve the civil lawsuit; however, the terms of the agreement have not been disclosed. Recently, Majors spoke publicly about having been a victim of sexual abuse during his childhood, experiences he claims have influenced his behavior in adult relationships. This revelation adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing narrative surrounding the actor.

Looking Ahead

Currently, Jonathan Majors is engaged to actress Meagan Good and is actively seeking to rebuild his career in Hollywood. Whether he can successfully navigate the damage to his reputation and regain the trust of the industry and the public remains to be seen. As Ximena Cordova (2025) from El Imparcial reports, the road ahead is undoubtedly challenging.
