Jonathan Majors was convicted Monday of assaulting his former girlfriend after a two-week trial that the actor hoped would salvage his damaged reputation and restore his status as an emerging Hollywood star.

A Manhattan jury found Majors, 34, guilty of assault and harassment. He was also acquitted of a different assault charge and of aggravated harassment. Majors, who was asked to stand and face the jurors as the verdict was read, showed no immediate reaction, looking slightly downward.

His sentencing was set for Feb. 6.

So much for his career.

No, they are just going to make one of the aliens from the Simpsons as the big bad guy in the movie.

I wonder if his pucker will serve him well in prison.

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8337) 5 months ago

I doubt he serves any serious prison time for this.

[–] johnmiller (3406) 5 months ago

Oh, that's right. He's black. Slavery made him do it.

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8337) 5 months ago

If I am remembering correctly, I think the charge is only a misdemeanor. I bet he gets a fine and probation.

[–] johnmiller (3406) 5 months ago

Still lost his job and possibly his career. Naturally, a lot of people will defend someone who gets off beating up women.

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8337) 5 months ago

Well yeah, obviously his career has been seriously damaged, and right when it was really getting off the ground, too.

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8337) 5 months ago

Yes, unfortunately for him, this is going to do serious damage to his career. The time of a story like this just being covered up and going away is over. It's a shame because he was seriously breaking out with films like Creed III and Devotion. (And apparently some Marvel shit but I have given up on Marvel.)

I wonder what the guys who always support men accused of attacking women will say, now that they can no longer yell "You can't call him a criminal, he hasn't been convicted".

What's their next strategy for defending an abuser?

A man should be able to put his woman in her place if she steps out of line, this is why we have a generation of soft men who rather talk about feelings and their feminine side than get drunk, get some poontang and occasions have a fight.

As for this guy I could care less, never seen any of the films he’s been in.

[–] robocat893 (13735) 5 months ago

You probably wonder why you're a virgin and lonely.

[–] Rocky15 (497) 5 months ago

Can’t say it’s really crossed my mind to be fair

Otter why care about idiots like guys who always support men accused of attacking women?
Look at this moron Rocky above here, he's not even worth the energy to type "shut up, loser".

[–] Aries (775) 5 months ago

Everyone is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty by law. Saying that is not the same as supporting the person who has been accused.

So you just want to get rid of due process and automatically assume everyone (men only, going by your statement) is guilty and should be sentenced without any need for proof or conviction? You think women never lie about being assaulted or raped if it suits their agenda for whatever reason?
