Jonathan Majors Faces Fresh Allegations Of Abuse From Two More Women

Two women have come forward to accuse Jonathan Majors of abuse, just two months after the actor was convicted of recklessly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.


Two more women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, have come forward to accuse Marvel star Jonathan Majors of abuse, just two months after the actor was convicted of recklessly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

Duncan, speaking to The New York Times, alleged multiple incidents of physical violence by Majors. In a particularly harrowing episode in July 2016, Duncan claims that Majors choked her, threw her across the room, and issued a chilling threat: “Going to make sure you can’t have children.” Majors vehemently denies these accusations.

Hooper, who dated Majors from 2013 to 2015 after they met at Yale’s prestigious drama school, painted a picture of deep control and restriction, alleging that she “was not allowed to speak to anyone about their relationship.”

In response, Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, acknowledged that Majors was “young and insecure” during that time and expressed embarrassment for his past jealous behavior.

The women’s accounts were initially revealed in a Rolling Stone investigation in June 2023, where more than a dozen sources independently corroborated details of the alleged abuse. At that time, Duncan and Hooper chose not to comment, citing fear of retribution. One of Rolling Stone‘s sources stated, “It was pervasively known that he was [a good actor], and that he also would terrorize the people that he had dated.”

Majors was convicted in December 2023 for reckless assault in the third degree and a harassment violation arising from a March 2023 incident in which he allegedly attacked Grace Jabbari. The altercation occurred after Jabbari saw Majors receive a romantic text from another woman. While acquitted of the more serious charges of intentional assault and aggravated harassment, Majors now faces sentencing, originally scheduled for Feb. 6. However, last-minute motions filed by his attorney have postponed the sentencing until April 8. Despite facing up to a year in jail, it appears unlikely that Majors will serve any time behind bars.
