LOKI Star Jonathan Majors' Sentencing Has Been Delayed; Actor Faces Up To A Year Behind Bars

Loki star Jonathan Majors was supposed to be sentenced today but that's now been delayed. However, the actor still faces up to a year behind bars when the judge's ruling comes down later this month...

Loki and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors was found guilty on domestic violence charges last year but his sentencing is no longer going ahead today as planned. 

The actor, who was convicted of reckless assault and harassment during a December trial, had been gearing up to learn whether he'll spend time behind bars for the alleged incident. However, his defence lawyer Priya Chaudhry has filed various motions with the court, pushing the hearing back to later today. 

Deadline now expects sentencing to take place later this month; Majors is facing anything from probation to a year in prison as a first-time offender in a misdemeanour case. 

The Kang the Conqueror actor was fired by Marvel Studios shortly after being found guilty. The trial saw his lawyers paint his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari as a "liar" who was out for revenge when their relationship broke down. The six-person jury disagreed after being presented with evidence pointing to a history of abuse within their relationship. 

That included an argument through text which saw Jabbari talk about wanting to visit a doctor for painkillers, promising to tell them the injury was because she'd bumped her head. There was also an argument she'd recorded in secret that saw Majors berate his then-girlfriend for coming home drunk after a night out with friends. He'd call himself a "great man" who needed a "great woman" like Coretta Scott King or Michelle Obama. 

On the night of the incident (leading to Majors being arrested by New York City police), Jabbari testified that he'd fractured her finger and struck her across the head. 

For those of you who aren't aware, they met on the set of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania when she was working as a movement coach. 

The Loki star has maintained his innocence and came under fire last month for taking part in an ABC News interview which saw him plead his case despite being found guilty in court. Wiping a tear from his eye during the conversation, Majors was asked how he thinks Jabbari was injured. 

"I wish to god I knew. That would give clarity. That would give me some type of peace about it," he said, adding he had been "reckless with her heart" and claiming to have never struck a woman "ever."

Asked about a possible Hollywood return, Majors shared his belief he deserves a second chance. "Yeah, I do. I pray I do. But it's God's plan and God's timing." Before this incident, his star had been on the rise and all signs pointed to him becoming one of the world's most in-demand actors.

Stay tuned for updates on this story as we have them.

He ain't going to jail. His first offense, officially, He was convicted on the 2 'lesser' charges out of the four, and he's a black celebrity. He needs to lay low during the beginning of his probation, let this ordeal leave the fans' minds, and wait for the next celebrity idiot to steal the show of negativity. Heck, we have two guys running for president that will steal all of the bad headlines. One is a former president who has been accused of rape, demoralizing women, and federal crimes related to his term and election. He's gotta learn to stay off 'X' late at night.
The other one is so old and braindead that he just recently claimed to have seen or have lunch with last week some celebrity....who died over 20 years ago.

Majors just needs to be low-key and wait for others to make a mess.

@lazlodaytona - not to get political, but the age argument doesn't really work against Biden when Trump is only 4 years younger than him. They're both old, I'm tempted to vote for anyone running who isn't an octegenarian.

@SATW42 - being old doesn't bother me if you're competent and not out of touch. So I've never used age as a reason not to vote for Trump or Biden. People wanted Bernie and that dude is old af too. But he's clearly very much "in touch" with the youth and direction things are going, so he's popular

So I guess I'm saying age is very little of a factor for me personally. Being an outright criminal who is also a bold faced liar with little to no morals are major red flags to me and why I would never support Trump

@SATW42 - It's not the age I'm bagging on; which, my bad for putting it in the wrong way. I think anyone on either political side would agree that Biden's competence is not 100%. And both probably would agree with the statement I made on Trump as well.

I'm not political at all or am trying to make a statement. I was just trying to think of famous people who directly affect the American public.
I actually despise politics a great deal.

@SATW42 - As someone who dislikes both of them and 100% will not vote for either of them, 2 things:

- Even though Biden is only a few years older, he is quite obviously unfit for the job. Shaking hands with people that aren’t there, mumbling all the time, and so many more. This isn’t an endorsement of Trump and he’s obviously not mentally all there either, but man is it so incredibly obvious with Biden.

- Depending on what state you live in, you have multiple options to vote for. I know some stupid people say you have to pick the D or the R or you are throwing your vote away, but that is simply untrue. Robert Kennedy Jr is the most viable Independent since Ross Perot and he actually has a chance at winning. If you don’t like him, there are a variety of 3rd parties to support. Either way, your vote is yours and it’s owed to nobody. Never has a state leaned one way or the other in a presidential race due to one vote. So in reality your vote counts so little that it makes the most sense to vote for who you think is best rather than which of the two major party candidates you dislike less.

@SATW42 - Trump doesnt show his age the way Biden does though. Trump acts how I would expect him to act still in his prime which is a blessing on him.

I'll be pleased when this is all out of the way and the dust has settled so we don't have the normal level of, erm, discourse on all of this here and avoiding weighing into any of it.

Kate Mara's Sue Storm from Fant4stic and MCU's Ironheart should either be Kang replacements or variants. There is precedent for both.

"for the alleged incident."

It's no longer alleged. He was convicted. You can just say "the incident."

Wtf, this guy shouldn't do jail time.

Just make him pay a good money to that woman, put him in probation and force him to seek help. Also, public service.
