Jonathan Majors was ordered to participate in a year of domestic violence programming on Monday at his sentencing in Manhattan for a March 2023 altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, that derailed his acting career.
The disgraced actor, who was fired from all upcoming Disney and Marvel projects following his conviction, looked down at the defense table as he learned his sentence.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Michael Gaffey ordered Majors to participate in a 52-week, in-person intervention program in Los Angeles. He faced up to a year in jail.

A jury on Dec. 18 found Majors, 34, guilty of misdemeanor reckless assault and harassment stemming from the March 25 incident in the back of a private car traveling through lower Manhattan.
Gaffey handed down the sentence in a packed courtroom after hearing a victim impact statement by Jabbari.
“Even after a jury found him guilty, he will not stop,” Jabbari said, describing Major’s continued denials in media interviews.
“He is not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility, and he will do this again. He will hurt other women. This is a man who thinks he is above the law.”
Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said the case had destroyed her client’s life and career and that he was already in counseling and therapy. She asked Gaffey in vain to let him remain with his therapist instead of attending the specified program.
