Marvel Star Jonathan Majors Found Guilty in Domestic Assault Case Involving Ex-Girlfriend
Disney’s Marvel actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty by a New York jury on Monday on charges that he attacked his then-girlfriend in the back of a car.
A jury composed of three men and three women convicted the rising Hollywood star following a two-week trial in a state court in Manhattan.
Prosecutors argued that Jonathan Majors assaulted Grace Jabbari in a car in New York in March, leaving her with a broken finger and swollen arm and ear. The actor was facing charges including two assault counts and two harassment counts — all of which were misdemeanors.
Sentencing is scheduled for February 6. Majors could be sent to jail for up to one year.
The actor has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal, and even accused Jabbari of assaulting him. But New York prosecutors led by Soros-funded Alvin Bragg declined to file charges against her, without disclosing their reasons.
In testimony given on the witness stand, Jabbari alleged that Majors attacked her in the chauffered vehicle after she grabbed his phone upon seeing a text from another woman.
After the driver pulled over and the pair disembarked, Majors allegedly picked her up and threw her “like a football” back into the car, according to prosecutors.
Surveillance video released last week showed Jabbari appearing to chase him following the alleged assault.
It remains unclear if Majors intends to appeal the verdict.
The lurid case has capsized the actor’s promising Hollywood career.
The 34-year-old Yale School of Drama alumnus appeared in the latest Marvel superhero Ant-Man sequel as well as the Disney+ series Loki. He also starred opposite Michael B. Jordan in Creed III this year.
His performance in the Sundance movie Magazine Dreams was drawing awards buzz. But Disney’s Searchlight pulled the movie from its release schedule following the assault allegations.

Report: Rapper’s Assets May Be Sold to Cover $10M Judgment in Stripper Injury Case
Assets such as cars and a mansion belonging to rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine may soon be sold at auction to satisfy a judgment against him levied by a stripper, according to reports.
The nearly $10 million judgment comes after the woman accused him of smashing a bottle of champagne into her skull a few years ago, TMZ reported Sunday.
The outlet obtained documents that reportedly say that “a receiver has been appointed to take control of the rapper’s assets — items like his Rolls-Royce and his Florida mansion — and sell off whatever is necessary to pay the $9.825 million judgment.”
An image shows the rapper:
The stripper, identified as Alexis Salaberrios received the judgment in July. However, the amount has not been paid. Therefore, a judge appointed a receiver.
“TMZ broke the story, Tekashi was sued by Alexis in 2021 after allegedly hitting her in the head inside Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami. Her attorney told us he tried hitting someone else for calling him a rat, but he missed and clocked Alexis instead,” the outlet said. Salaberrios later claimed she was taken to the Emergency Room and doctors used staples to close the wound in her head. Teshaki 6ix9ine was recently arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida, after he reportedly did not appear regarding charges from a traffic violation. Video footage shows the moment law enforcement confronted him:
The rapper’s girlfriend was arrested Thursday for allegedly attacking him and damaging his vehicle in Palm Beach, NBC Miami reported Friday:
Jeorjina Guillermo-Diaz, who also raps under the stage name Yailin La Más Viral, was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office late Thursday on charges including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, battery, property damage-criminal mischief, and obstructing justice, an arrest report said.
Clips of the incident show the moment when the rapper, wearing a brightly colored sweatshirt, was apparently attacked by the young woman.
Deputies went to the residence for a “domestic” call. The victim told them he and the woman had been arguing because she believed he was looking at other women.
Video footage shows parts of the incident:
The NBC Miami report also noted that “Tekashi 6ix9ine, 27, has had a busy year in South Florida.”
“In March, he was hospitalized after he was brutally beaten by a group of men at an LA Fitness in Lake Worth. Video of the attack went viral on social media,” the article said.
Video Shows Rapper Blueface Forcing Fan on Stage Before Shoving Her to the Floor
Rapper Blueface is being excoriated online after a video emerged of him calling a fan onstage only to shout to his entourage “Get her!” before she is shoved to the floor.
The Daily Mail reports the incident occurred at a club event that the Los Angeles rapper was hosting alongside his on-and-off girlfriend Jaidyn Alexis.
According to various people on social media who attended the show, Alexis accused the woman of throwing ice at her.
The ice throwing allegation cannot be seen in any of the videos circulating on social media.
The clips do show Alexis being physically restrained by security guards as the woman appears to deny she threw anything.
Fans quickly responded to the act by calling out the performer for turning on a supporter and humiliating her.
“I hope [the woman] press charges and where her friends at. We all would have jumped her and Blue. Lol,” one person wrote in the comments under the video.
“Wow, miss blue cheese felt disrespected so he man handled a girl who paid to see him, I’m disgusted that he is still walking free, just lock him up already,” another chimed in.
“I’m pretty sure I can read the girl’s lips when Jai is signaling her over there like come here. It looks like the girl says: ‘No it wasn’t me baby.'”
Blueface, 26, is currently on probation, stemming from a November 2022 altercation at a strip club in Las Vegas in which he was initially charged with attempted murder.
The charge was later reduced to battery and discharging a firearm, as Breitbart News reported.

When Shoplifters Kill
Was it necessary for 27-year-old security guard Eric Harrison to die?
The book that has yet to be written, ‘Philadelphia Commedia,’ will not have Virgil but Walt Whitman as the reader’s guide as we travel through the city of William Penn.
Unlike Dante Alighieri’s ‘Divine Comedy,’ the Paradiso part of ‘Philadelphia Commedia’ will be put on hold until the city changes its political direction from Blue to Red, which nobody expects to happen anytime soon.
The story begins in Macy’s Department store on December 7, 2023 just as a stabbing is taking place.
We see a man named Tyron Tunnell, a distraught looking figure who has a history of retail theft and drug-related cases in the Philadelphia area.
Tunnell has entered Macy’s with the intention of shoplifting—no big surprise as Center City Macy’s, since the beginning of 2023, has experienced over 250 reports of retail theft, something that Acting Police Commissioner John M. Stanford Jr. says is, “An ongoing problem, not just for large chain stores but in terms of businesses throughout the city.”
In Philadelphia during Christmastime, going to Macy’s is a venerable tradition. Here we have a department store larger than a cathedral that features daily organ recitals, a light show with 100,000 LED lights and a massive Christmas tree you’re not likely to see anywhere else except perhaps in Rockefeller Center.
Tunnell, who has an active warrant out for his arrest in Delaware County, shoplifts a few hats and then proceeds to leave the store when he is stopped by a security guard, 27-year-old Eric Harrison, who makes him return the hats while permitting him to go free, a gesture that’s become all too familiar in big blue cities all across America:
Let the shoplifters go!
Yet Tunnell, not satisfied with his freedom, returns to the store intent on punishing the security guard because he thinks the guard showed him attitude when he made him put the hats back.
He lunges at Harrison and stabs him in the neck, then stabs another security guard who comes to Harrison’s aid. A murder under 100,000 LED lights and as Christmas music plays in the store.
Harrison is taken to the hospital where he dies; the other guard, though severely injured, manages to survive.
The crime occurred not far from where hundreds gather for the regular light shows.
Macy’s closes shop for two days; there’s also the issue of spilled blood to consider.
The killing makes the national 6:30pm news.
The Macy’s attack had the city in an uproar: DA Larry Krasner was quick to tell the press that his office will charge at higher level if someone is a prolific shoplifter offender with a pattern.
So here we have Krasner sounding like former Mayor Frank L. Rizzo. This fact indicates that even Left progressives have had enough of the lawlessness that has taken over the city.
“If it is one dollar or 50 cents, we prosecute that,” Krasner said. “We prosecute consistent with the statute, we prosecute summary offenses, at times misdemeanor offenses, at times felony offenses. Anyone who tells you we’re not prosecuting thefts of less than 55 dollars is misinformed.”
Krasner might as well be saying, “Philadelphia is not San Francisco!”
Krasner goes the extra mile when he says that his office is requesting additional funding from City Council for a task force to focus on repeat retail thieves and those who help them.
SEPTA’s 30,000 security cameras enabled police to follow Tunnell in real-time as he fled the store and discarded the switch-blade knife he used to kill Harrison. He was apprehended at the Somerset station on the Market-Frankford line.
The sad fact is that SEPTA its own world of crime.
Consider these facts:
A November 16, 2023, 6 ABC news headline read, “Man dragged down stairs, assaulted at Center City Septa Station.” The 51-year old victim was standing on the platform at 15th Street (City Hall Station) when he was attacked.
Then the coup de grace: The murder of SEPTA bus driver, Bernard Gribbin, in October 2023 when a female passenger shot him six times in the torso and throat. The 21-year-old assailant pulled a gun on Gribbin as she left the bus, killing him for no apparent reason.
Crime in Philadelphia has moved from the streets onto subway platforms.
In May 2023, Krasner said that while the city homicide rate was down from last year, he felt it necessary to issue warnings about violence on mass transit.
He was referring to groups of teen males in ski masks walking from train car to train car looking for victims.
The El ride from 13th and Market where Macy’s is located to the Somerset station takes about 20 minutes or so.
Here are some of the things a regular passenger might see while traveling this distance:
Sleeping homeless; people smoking weed and cigarettes; food and drink smashed on seats and on the floor; unruly passengers acting out (some in ski masks, despite a recent City Council ban); people holding the doors open at station stops, an action that prevents the train from moving while the train engineer makes repeated pleas to, “Please clear the doors.”
All this is happening while SEPTA’s CEO, Leslie Richards, recently got a $75,000 raise after signing a new four year contract (she makes $425,000 a year) to continue on as SEPTA’s head.
Yet what is Richards doing about improving conditions on the EL, or to convince Philadelphians that the El is safe to ride?
Especially if El passengers have to stand for the duration of their trip because the homeless have taken up all the seats, sometimes two or three seats at a time with their strollers, carts, and oversized moonscape knapsacks?
What she can do, and did, is to promote a $40 million SEPTA rebranding project that will change logos and the colors used in signage and advertising. She can also support the 2024 plan to rename bus and trolley routes to give them more “catchy” buzz names like ‘B1’ and ‘G,’ while the Broad Street subway will be renamed ‘the B,’ and the Market Frankford El, ‘the L.’
She can also cheer the plan to change font changes on SEPTA signs (never mind the stinking homeless person lying in stale urine a few feet below that sign).
After all, the design of a sign, like a tattoo, is everything. A cool look can work miracles.
Yet woke-inspired font changes, new colors and minimalist language that call to mind rock groups like the B52’s, won’t change the fact that tourists in Philadelphia never take the Market-Frankford El or the Broad Street subway.
Only a fool would put new wallpaper on a crumbling house or rehab a kitchen if the roof was falling in, or purchase dental implants or veneers if you had a serious case of gum disease.
The truth is that deteriorating conditions on “the L” have made it unreliable and often dangerous.
Stations are filthy and continue to be places where drug addicts can be seen injecting themselves. The trains themselves are run down and grimy. Marijuana smoking in stations and on trains continues to be a problem. Station announcements about delays and cancellations occur on a daily basis. Train announcements cannot even be coordinated: they often announce incorrect station stops.
It also doesn’t help that passengers are subjected to outdated recordings that masks are required, long after this policy was dropped.
What this shows is an unwillingness to get to the heart of the problem, including fixing the chronic fare dodging one sees at transit station.
Comparable, as some might say, to the Krasner-inspired policy of allowing shoplifters like Tyrone Tunnell to go free.
Tragically, if Tunnell been arrested and processed immediately for stealing those hates, Eric Harrison might still be alive.

ahawkinsA database maintained by the Sun-Times shows 567 people were killed in Chicago January 1, 2023, through December 17, 2023.
In Chicago, like all of Illinois, there is a red flag law, a 72-hour waiting period on gun purchases, a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card requirement for legal gun ownership, and a ban on “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines.
Moreover, Cook County, where Chicago is located, has an additional ban on “assault weapons.”
