Well, this is completely disgusting. In December, Jonathan Majors was found guilty of harassment and reckless assault in the third degree, all related to his assault in New York on his then-girlfriend Grace. Majors hurt her so badly, she lost consciousness and she was hospitalized. Still, Majors was found not guilty of intentional assault and aggravated assault. Most people were like “well, at least there will be some punishment and at least he’ll probably go to jail.” Nope. The judge has just sentenced Majors to one year of domestic violence counseling.

Jonathan Majors has been sentenced to one year of domestic violence counseling after being convicted last year of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The actor must complete a 52-week domestic violence programming in Los Angeles, where he currently resides. He must also continue the mental health therapy he has been enrolled in and provide updates on his progress.

The sentencing was delivered Monday by Judge Michael Gaffey in a lower Manhattan courtroom, almost four months after Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault against Jabbari. After a two-week trial, he was set to be sentenced in January, but it was delayed to April due to motions filed by his legal team that were later dismissed.

Majors arrived in court with his current girlfriend, actor Meagan Good. He shook hands and hugged his family and supporters on his side of the courtroom then took his seat between his lawyers, Priya Chaudhry and Seth Zuckerman. Jabbari entered the room shortly after and delivered a victim impact statement, saying that Majors “is not sorry and has not accepted responsibility” for the assault.

“He will do this again. He will hurt another woman. This is a man who believes he’s above the law,” Jabbari said. “I had a career and life and body, all of which he’s damaged.”

She also called his Chaudhry and Zuckerman’s tactics of placing the blame on her during the trial “abhorrent” and “horrific.”

“I will not rest until he’s not a danger. He refuses to acknowledge guilt and take responsibility. He remains a danger to all those around him. I’ve seen his anger and he doesn’t have control over it.”

Judge Gaffey explained that Majors’ absence of criminal history and prior arrests contributed to his decision not to give the actor jail time. He could have faced up to a year in prison. Majors showed little reaction in the crowded courtroom and declined to give a statement.

Grace Jabbari is 100% correct – he will do this again. He will hurt another woman. She was not the first and she will not be the last. The way all of this has gone down has been tragically textbook, to her blatant fear of what he would do to her, to his lies and delusions and all of this dumbf–k crisis management with Meahan Good. This is painful – I cannot believe he received zero jail time. And one thing about domestic violence couseling is that many studies show that abusers just learn how to become more “effective” abusers – how to hide their violence, how to gaslight their victims, how to play the victim, how to run the full DARVO playbook.
