Popular actor Jonathan Majors has been found guilty in the case of assaulting his former girlfriend, Grace. The verdict was announced on Monday, December 18, 2023, by a six-person jury after four hours of deliberation.

The hearing went on for three days until the jury finally announced that Jonathan Majors was found guilty on the assault charge, but not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment.

As per Grace, the whole fiasco with Jonathan Majors took place in March, when during an altercation, the actor allegedly attacked his former girlfriend, and left her with a fractured finger, bruises, and even a cut behind her ear.

As per Grace, the incident took place in the car, as she saw a text from another woman on Jonathan Majors’ phone.

Jonathan Majors found himself in deep waters after the jury announced that he was indeed guilty of assault and harassment as he had attacked his girlfriend back in March 2022. Apart from announcing the verdict, they also issued a new protection order, which will now require him to have absolutely no contact with Grace, his former girlfriend.

As the news was posted by a Twitter user, @DailyLoud, social media users were left shocked as many commented about how in the alleged video, Majors was the one who could be seen running from Grace.

While the messages, opinions, and comments continue to pour in on social media, neither the actor nor his team has responded to the reaction of the masses. Grace, Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend, has also remained tight-lipped about the fiasco and the verdict.
