can breathe a sigh of relief after learning he won’t be facing jail time.
Unsurprisingly,
former MCU star Jonathan Majors will not go to jail. A New York judge ordered the 34-year-old

Majors was facing up to a year behind bars after his assault conviction by a Manhattan jury in December.

He said Majors must complete a 52-week, in-person batterer’s intervention program in Los Angeles, where the actor lives.

Jabbari wasn’t silent; while holding back tears, she accused the
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania star of not being sorry and not acknowledging his guilt in the matter.
“He’s not sorry. He has not accepted responsibility,” Jabbari said. “He will do this again, and he will hurt other women, adding that “He believes he is above the law.”
Jabbari said Majors had made her believe the two were in a loving relationship, but, in reality, he isolated her from the rest of the world and cut her off from family and friends.
“I was so emotionally dependent on him,” she said. “I became a different person around him — small, scared and vulnerable.”
