Jonathan Majors legal troubles remain a topic of public conversation weeks after a verdict was reached in his assault trial involving ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. He was found guilty on one count of reckless assault in the third degree as well as on a single count of harassment. For those offenses, he currently faces up to a year in prison. Majors broke his silence, after the decision came down, during an interview this week. It was during the discussion that he likened his girlfriend, Meagan Good, to late civil rights activist Coretta Scott King. This ultimately led to backlash from many across the Internet, including King’s own daughter. Now, Majors has provided clarity for his sentiments.
The embattled 34-year-old star sat down with ABC News to discuss the verdict and provide insight into how he’s been processing his situation. During the conversation, 42-year-old Meagan Good – who Jonathan Majors has been dating for months now – came up. The actor described Good as “an angel” and said that she’s held him down “like a Coretta.” He finished the thought by saying that he’s blessed to have her. The comment went viral soon after, with some users joking about it or expressing legitimate dissatisfaction.
