“Shocked” Jonathan Majors Addresses Assault Case in First TV Interview Since Trial – E! Online

Despite Majors maintaining he was not the aggressor, prosecutors argued otherwise, with ABC News quoting New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg as saying, “The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse.”

For her part, Jabbari has spoken about her mindset during her relationship with Majors.

“I had low self-esteem, I lost a lot of weight,” the British dancer said during her testimony, per NBC News. “I felt really dependent on him because he was the only one who knew what went on. I still did try to see my friends and family but I felt like I was lying to them. I felt isolated.”

In a split verdict announced Dec. 18, Majors was ultimately found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment but was acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment. He told ABC he plans to appeal the verdict.

But while he awaits sentencing in February, the 34-year-old—who is currently dating actress Meagan Good—said he’s grateful for those in his life. 

“I’m really blessed,” he noted. “I’m surrounded by people who love me, who care about me. But this has been very, very, very hard, and very difficult, and confusing in many ways. But I’m standing.”
