Jonathan Majors says he's not responsible for his ex-girlfriend's injuries, speaking out for the first time since a jury found him guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment last month in a case that had an immediate effect on his career in Hollywood.
The case stemmed from a March 25, 2023, domestic dispute in New York City between Majors and his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in which they got into an altercation in the backseat of an SUV.
Majors, 34, said he was stunned when the verdict came down, where the jury found him guilty of two of the four counts against him. He was acquitted of two other counts of third-degree intentional assault and second-degree aggravated harassment.
"Shocked. I was absolutely shocked. And afraid," he told ABC News' Linsey Davis in an exclusive interview that aired in part on "Good Morning America" on Monday morning.
"I’m standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, ‘How is that possible based off the evidence, based off the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence? How is that possible?'" he added.
