The highly publicized trial of Jonathan Majors, marked by a guilty verdict for assault and harassment, became one of the biggest news stories of 2023. Following the legal outcome, Marvel Studios promptly severed ties with the actor, who had previously portrayed a character in their cinematic universe. In the aftermath, Majors maintained a low profile, refraining from public statements and limiting appearances to occasional paparazzi snapshots. Now, he is poised to end his silence on the case.
TMZ reports that Jonathan Majors participated in an interview with ABC, conducted by the network’s news anchor, Linsey Davis. Scheduled to air on Monday, the interview will also be available for streaming on the same day. This marks the actor’s first public appearance since the verdict was delivered. The choice of ABC for the interview has raised some eyebrows online, especially considering Disney’s ownership of ABC and Marvel, the latter of which recently severed ties with Majors.
Jonathan Majors awaits sentencing for the guilty verdict, with a hearing scheduled for February 6th. The charges could lead to a sentence of up to one year, although speculation suggests Majors may not serve actual jail time. Even before the trial concluded, Majors faced consequences, as Disney removed a show featuring him, titled “Magazine Dreams,” from their future plans back in October.
Throughout the trial, Majors appeared to grow closer to his new girlfriend, Meagan Good. She frequently accompanied him to court, and reports indicated that their bond deepened in the weeks leading up to the verdict. As Jonathan Majors chooses ABC for his first interview post-conviction, the public is left wondering about the insights he will share regarding the trial.
