A Manhattan jury found Majors, 34, guilty of assault and harassment. He was also acquitted of another charge of aggravated assault and harassment. Majors, who was asked to stand and face jurors as the verdict was read, showed no immediate reaction, looking slightly down.
The charges stem from an argument between the Creed III actor and his girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, that began in the backseat of a chauffeur-driven car and spilled onto the streets of Manhattan one night last March.
Jabbari, a 30-year-old British dancer, accused Majors of an attack inside the vehicle that left her in “excruciating” pain. She said he hit her in the head with his open hand, twisted her arm behind her back and squeezed her middle finger until it fractured.
Majors’ lawyers argued that Jabbari was the aggressor, alleging she became angry out of jealousy after reading a text message on her phone from another woman. They argued that Jabbari had spread a “fantasy” aimed at bringing down the actor, who was only trying to get his phone back and escape unharmed.
The verdict was a blow to Majors, who was on the brink of Hollywood stardom until his March arrest turned his career upside down.
