Jonathan Majors interview: First sit-down since guilty verdict

Actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment charges. He faces up to one year in prison.

On December 18th, a 34-year-old individual was found guilty of one count of third-degree assault and one count of harassment, but was acquitted of another count of assault and one count of aggravated harassment. The individual is scheduled for sentencing on February 6th and could face up to one year in prison.

Despite these allegations, the individual's attorneys have consistently denied the accusations.

In a recent interview with Linsey Davis of ABC News Live, the individual discussed the case, which will premiere on GMA on January 8th.

Following the guilty verdict, the individual was dropped by Disney, the parent company of Marvel, for which he previously played the role of Kang the Conqueror in the TV series Loki and the 2023 film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. His portrayal set him up as the next major Avengers villain following in the footsteps of Josh Brolin's Thanos. The fifth Avengers film was even titled Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

The accuser, a 31-year-old dancer from England, accused the individual, her ex-boyfriend, of inflicting physical harm on her, including slapping her, fracturing her finger, twisting her arm, and causing her to bleed from her ear. The alleged abuse took place on March 25th.

After the incident, the individual called 911 and was arrested that evening. He claimed that he found the accuser in his apartment and suspected that she had attempted suicide or overdosed.

In response to the verdict, the Manhattan District Attorney's office issued a statement, emphasizing their commitment to centering survivors and acknowledging the evidence presented throughout the trial. They described the evidence as illustrating a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion that are all too common in intimate partner violence cases.

Despite the verdict, the accuser's attorney issued a statement expressing gratitude for the justice served and commending the accuser for testifying publicly and truthfully, despite the pain of reliving the traumatic events on the witness stand.
