Former Kang Actor Jonathan Majors Admits To Strangling Grace Jabbari In Newly-Unearthed Audio

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki actor Jonathan Majors has admitted to "aggressing" ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in newly-unearthed audio obtained by Rolling Stone...

By MarkCassidy - Mar 17, 2025 01:03 PM EST

Last year, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of two misdemeanour counts of harassment and assault, as well as not guilty on two additional charges of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree against then girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

Though some industry insiders believed that the judge might decide to give Majors a "taste of jail," he managed to escape with one year of domestic violence counseling, which he has now served. Jabbari also dismissed the federal lawsuit against him last November.

Last week, THR published a piece which was viewed as an attempt to rehabilitate Majors' image as he makes plans for a Hollywood comeback, but many remain unconvinced. Now, Rolling Stone has shared some newly-unearthed audio which could prove to be a huge setback for the actor.

The conversation was reportedly captured in the aftermath of a days-long fight between Majors and Jabbari in September 2022. The actor had been living with his ex in London while shooting the second season of Loki. The tape captures Jabbari confronting Majors about the alleged attack.

“I’m ashamed I’ve ever— ” Majors begins, before cutting himself off. “I’ve never [been] aggressive with a woman before. I’ve never aggressed a woman — I aggressed you.”

“You strangled me and pushed me against the car,” Jabbari interjects. “Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah.” Majors responds. “That’s never happened to me.”

“Because I said something sarcastically, in your eyes?” Jabbari responds. “Well clearly, it’s more than that,” Majors says. “Something inside of you,” Jabbari replies. “Yeah, towards you,” Majors agrees, before the recording cuts off.

Marvel decided to pivot away from Kang after Majors was sentenced, and announced that Robert Downey Jr. would play Doctor Doom in the Avengers movie that was originally known as The Kang Dynasty. Even so, one would assume that there must still be some loose threads to tie up when it comes to the villain.

According to a recent rumor, Kevin Feige might be considering bringing Majors back into the fold. At the very least, there does seem to be plans to revisit the Kang character, though he would likely be played by a different actor.

Honestly, we'd say the studio working with Majors again is a long shot - especially now that original plans have changed so much as we head towards Doomsday. Anything is possible, of course, but there would still be a significant degree of controversy associated with rebuilding a relationship with the actor, and we don't see Marvel - or more specifically, Disney - taking that chance.

Do you think Marvel should bring Jonathan Majors back as Kang? Drop us a comment down below.

Never said people on this site didn't bend over backwards to defend him.

@regularmovieguy - no wasn't saying anything about you. I just read that comment section the other day and saw all his defenders. I don't believe anyone should be judged by their worst moments but I also believe you don't strangle someone a third of your size. Ive had a mad drunk girl attack me before and it's possible to restrain someone without hurting them. I read all those comments and decided it was best to not even get in the mix. Honestly I kind of regret being snarky in that comment above

@NonPlayerC - I mean we all saw the video. Its not like he choked or strangled her into the car. Audio descriptions can over or under emphasize actual things that happen. The Rashomon effect, where everyone describes events differently. None of us were there so we don't know. Not defending him but its a complicated situation as both people were nuts.

When people think of strangle they think of (below), not sure if he actually did that. Its like me inviting family and friends over for a jacuzzi party and i begin telling everyone I made your wife wet....when everyone gets wet when in a jacuzzi...its true but overstated.

@NonPlayerC – Yeah, but the only thing anyone has had to go off of is hearsay and the video, and the video didn't show him doing much.

Not sure it's about defending him as much as it is people taking sides on something they weren't there to witness.

It's different when someone admits to something themselves.

@NonPlayerC - the same people who are defending him are the same people who is anti-Amber Hurd, but not shocked by that in the slightest.

So why is this coming out now?? After everything was dropped? Seems shady

@theprophet - I mean. Does it matter ? History will tell the story. Why not tell an accurate story instead of hiding facts?

@theprophet -
Because he’s trying to mount a comeback. Jabarri’s lawyers probably gave the audio to rolling stone.

theprophet - 3/17/2025, 4:21 PM
@Vigor - yea it does matter, why wasn't it shown from the beginning, it comes out after charges were dropped and he is trying to make a comeback
Vigor
Vigor - 3/17/2025, 4:25 PM
@theprophet - might not legally have been able to be released while legal talks were happening

They were both in the wrong, but he clearly has owned up to his end of things, had his day in court and went through counseling. I'm a big proponent that people actually can change and make themselves better when given the chance.

I just don't see the point in unearthing this audio now, other than it's ben over a year and he's trying to rehabilitate his career and someone really doesn't want him to.

@SATW42 - "I just don't see the point in unearthing this audio now, other than it's ben over a year and he's trying to rehabilitate his career and someone really doesn't want him to."

Looking at it from thr perspective of the victim, or of victims...
I would hate to see people start praising him after the dust settled and talking shit on me, knowing this audio [and the truth] is out there. He may be absolve legally. But in the scales of justice in the universe, it simply wouldn't feel fair if people didn't know the extent of his character
SATW42
SATW42 - 3/17/2025, 1:54 PM
@Vigor - but ask yourself this, for anyone who knows about this story, you already know how it played out. This is old news.

This kind of thinking is why our justice system is so broken. You rob a store, you go to jail, you do your time, you're marked an asshole for life. Can't get work, soyou can't pay bills, so what do you do? You go back to robbing stores to make ends meet, or try to get caught so you can go back to prison and get your three meals a day and live a life, that isn't glamourous or good by any means, but it's the life you know.

At some point we have to allow people the opportunity to change. Otherwise, whats the point of the system to begin with?
SATW42
SATW42 - 3/17/2025, 1:56 PM
@Vigor - and it may or may not be on purpose, but your comment kinda makes it sound like you think Grace leaked the audio...
Vigor
Vigor - 3/17/2025, 2:21 PM
@SATW42 - yeah I don't know who leaked the audio. I'm assuming it's come out because graces team wanted it to come out

But I am speaking from the perspective of Grace, the victim. I am all for rehabilitation. Someone very close to me went to jail for 13 years and has turned their life around thanks to rehabilitation efforts. But I'm also for accountability and personal justice. Imagining myself as Grace the human being herself, I absolutely would want the world to know the truth. It affects my day to day (again I'm speaking as Grace) and helps me to heal and move on
