Jonathan Majors wipes a tear from his eye and says 'it's been hard' as he gives first interview since being convicted of assaulting his ex and removed from the Marvel franchise

Jonathan Majors has broken his silence for the first time since being convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, saying the aftermath of his high-profile trial 'has been difficult'.

The actor, 34, wiped away a tear while discussing the career-ruining process, in a teaser clip for an interview with ABC's Good Morning America, airing Monday.

“Why did you decide you wanted to talk now?” anchor Linsey Davis asked the disgraced rising star in the clip. “Do you think you'll ever work in Hollywood again?”

Majors' future in Hollywood is in limbo following his conviction last month in New York for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, 30. The guilty verdict led to Marvel dropping him, while another highly anticipated film was abandoned. insecure.

During the same trial, he was also acquitted of two more charges of third-degree assault with intent to cause bodily harm and second-degree aggravated harassment.

The actor, 34, wiped away a tear as he was questioned about the high-profile trial, where he was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and acquitted on two other counts.

The actor's impressive interview with Davis will air on Good Morning America on Monday, January 8, with additional segments expected to air on GMA3. An extended version of the interview will stream on Davis' ABC News Live program Prime that same day.

Notably, ABC News is owned by Disney, the same production house that owns Marvel Studios which unceremoniously dropped Majors from his recurring role in the Marvel Universe: Kang the Conqueror.

Viewers only get a brief glimpse of Majors' reaction in the teaser clip, with the 34-year-old appearing tormented as he speaks out for the first time.

His conviction stemmed from a March 2023 incident with Jabarri in midtown Manhattan, when the two broke out in an angry argument after she saw a flirtatious text message from another woman on his phone.

Jabarri testified that she was in “excruciating” pain after the movie star hit her in the head during the fight and broke her finger in the back of an SUV.

Surveillance footage also showed the two continuing the scuffle into the streets of Manhattan, where Jabarri chased Majors before continuing to push and shove.

Surveillance footage from the night of the attack in March 2023 shows Majors repeatedly pushing Jabbari back into the SUV.

With Majors set to speak out for the first time since being found guilty in December, it comes after Jabbari previously broke her silence on the ordeal.

She said she was helped by a domestic abuse charity during the controversy.

Jabbari's attorney Brittany Henderson said jurors had delivered “justice” by convicting Majors last month, and that her client hoped the case would “inspire other survivors to speak out.”

Majors was convicted only of a misdemeanor and faces up to a year behind bars, although the consequences of his guilty verdict have already extended beyond the court.

Majors' long-awaited film Magazine Dreams has not only been publicly dropped by Marvel, but may also have been sent to the cutting room floor.

The actor was even tipped by some film critics for an Oscar nomination for his role in the film, which centered on a troubled bodybuilder.

The film was shelved by Disney in the wake of the allegations against it, and the streamer now has a decision to make whether to stay true to the film or scrap it entirely.

During his trial, jurors were presented with a raft of damning evidence, including an audio recording of Majors berating Jabbari during a speech for not living up to the standards of Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King's wife.

In her testimony, Jabbari said she felt “excruciating” pain when Majors twisted her fingers to retrieve his phone after she took it from him.

Prosecutors alleged he carried out a “cruel and manipulative pattern of abuse” against Jabarri, including texts urging her not to seek help because it could lead to an “investigation.”

Images shown to the court also included one showing a large dent in the wall that Jabbari claimed was caused by Majors throwing a candle at her during a fight in Los Angeles.

Jurors heard conflicting arguments about whether Majors was the aggressor or the victim during the argument and chaotic fight in the SUV in March 2023.

After four days of deliberation, Majors was found guilty of assault and recklessly causing bodily harm, but was acquitted on a charge of intent to cause bodily harm.

Majors' lawyer Priya Chaudhry claimed the mix of guilty and not guilty verdicts meant jurors did not fully “believe” Jabbari's story, and he still hopes to clear his name.
