Jonathan Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has spoken out following the actor's guilty verdict in his trial regarding the assault of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. A New York jury found him guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment on Monday. Chaudhry says that Majors will continue to trust the legal process and "looks forward to fully clearing his name."
She began in her statement to NBC News: "It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that. We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him."

"Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months. Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name," she concluded. Majors did not testify during the trial. In response to the verdict, Marvel Studios cut all ties with Majors. He previously played Kang the Conqueror in various MCU projects and the company planned to have him star in the 2026 film, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.
