Jonathan Majors sentencing postponed to April after assault, harassment conviction
LA TimesActor Jonathan Majors was convicted in December of assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend. Actor Jonathan Majors’ high-profile assault and harassment case faced yet another delay— this time in his sentencing. The verdict came down after a fiery two-week trial — which faced several delays — that weighed Majors’ alleged “cruel and manipulative pattern of psychological and physical abuse,” as described by prosecutors in opening statements. Majors, on a fast track to Hollywood stardom after his breakout appearance in A24’s “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” was arrested in New York on March 25 over a confrontation involving 30-year-old Jabbari during a car ride in Manhattan the previous night. Majors’ assault case brought his quick Hollywood ascent to a screeching halt as studios shelved upcoming film projects with the actor, management firms reportedly dropped the actor and he was cut from ad campaigns.
