Jonathan
Majors
made
his
first
appearance
since
his
2023
domestic
violence
trial
that
ended
in
the
celebrated
actor
being
found
guilty
by
the
jury
of
two
misdemeanors.
Sitting
with
ABC
News
Live,
Jonathan
Majors
spoke
about
the
verdict,
his
feelings
in
the
aftermath,
and
once
more
evoked
the
name
of
the
late
Coretta
Scott
King
has
fans
on
X
piling
on
the
jokes.
Jonathan
Majors,
34,
explained
during
the
chat
with
ABC
News
Life
that
he
was
shocked
by
the
verdict
and
believed
that
his
defense
team
compiled
enough
evidence
to
sway
things
in
his
favor.
The
interview,
which
went
live
Monday
(January
8)
was
promoted
heavily
throughout
the
weekend
with
edited
clips
that
certainly
drummed
up
interest
in
the
full
discussion.
Majors
did
say
that
his
relationship
with
Grace
Jabbari
was
not
ideal
and
that
the
pair
had
their
clashes
but
claims
he’s
never
physically
abused
her.
During
the
trial,
it
came
out
the
Majors
expected
Jabbari
to
embody
the
class
and
grace
of
Coretta
Scott
King,
the
wife
of
slain
civil
rights
leader,
Rev.
Martin
Luther
King
Jr.
Some
of
the
details
of
the
trial,
which
revealed
that
Majors
expected
Jabbari,
who
is
white,
to
embody
Scott
King’s
image,
garnered
plenty
of
reactions
on
X,
formerly
Twitter,
and
now
comments
are
exploding
on
the
social
media
network
once
more.
In
the
ABC
interview,
Majors
said
of
his
current
girlfriend,
actress
Meagan
Good,
that
she
is
his
“Coretta”
and
that
she
held
him
down.
As
one
can
imagine,
the
reactions
to
Majors
expressing
that
thought
and
how
earnest
he
appeared
during
the
interview
have
sparked
the
jokes
to
fly
on
X.
