Jonathan Majors made countless headlines last year, and the majority of those were due to the legal issues he got into. What could have been an excellent year for his career quickly turned into the worst nightmare for the actor as his rise to stardom came to a screeching halt in the first quarter of 2023 itself when he got arrested on March 25, 2023, on assault, strangulation and harassment charges from his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

Although Jonathan Majors was released from custody on the same day and his spokesperson denied the allegations in hopes of getting his name cleared, things have only gotten worse for the actor. In December 2023, the verdict on the weeks-long violence trial was passed, and he was proved to be guilty. His sentence does not come until February 6. In the meantime, he is preparing for interviews, and netizens are not happy.
