Jonathan Majors, who played Kang the Conquerer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has been sentenced to a 52-week “Domestic Violence Intervention Program” according to reports.
Majors has been ordered to participate in the 52-week in-person domestic violence intervention program following his conviction for reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in December.
The charges, classified as a misdemeanor and a violation, carried a potential sentence of up to one year in prison. Prosecutors sought domestic violence programming as part of the sentence, with a six-month jail alternative should Majors fail to complete the program. Additionally, a full order of protection for Grace Jabbari, the victim, was granted.
The 52-week program is slated to take place in Los Angeles, and the court has mandated that Majors continue mental health counseling and therapy, providing regular updates to the court on his treatment progress.
The court’s decision to mandate both a structured intervention program and ongoing mental health counseling underscores the vital role of professional support in rehabilitation. Programs like these are not just about fulfilling legal requirements—they offer individuals the opportunity to confront underlying emotional and behavioral patterns that may have contributed to their actions.
With regular therapy sessions and structured check-ins, Majors will be guided through a process that promotes accountability and self-awareness, key elements in any meaningful effort toward personal change.
Mental health professionals play an essential role in such cases, helping individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms while addressing the root causes of their struggles. For professionals looking to make an impact in this area, transitioning to private practice can provide the flexibility and autonomy to tailor treatment plans to each client’s needs.
The ability to set a personalized approach, whether through one-on-one therapy, group sessions, or specialized programs, allows therapists to create a more effective path to rehabilitation. Those interested in establishing their own practice can benefit from structured guidance, such as the insights provided by TelepsychHealth’s transition course, which outlines the essential steps for mental health professionals moving into private practice.
By taking this path, therapists can expand their reach, providing the kind of dedicated care that supports long-term healing and personal growth.
“We are optimistic that Mr. Majors will work in the film industry again soon,” said Majors’ attorneys.
The charges stem from a March 25, 2023, incident when Majors and his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, were in a car together. During the altercation, Jabbari testified that she discovered a text message on Majors’ phone expressing romantic sentiments. When she attempted to take the phone, Majors forcibly removed it from her grasp, resulting in physical harm to Jabbari. The jury convicted Majors on two charges but found him not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree following a two-week trial.
Disney dropped Majors as Kang in the MCU after the guilty verdict made headlines. Prior to that, Majors was dropped by his PR firm The Lede Company and his managers at Entertainment 360. He also lost his ad campaign for the U.S. Army.
With Majors gone, it’s unclear which direction Disney will go in for the MCU in regards to Kang. Clearly, kang was being set up to be the next Thanos-level threat with Avengers: The Kang Dynasty having been announced before his arrest.
Some are now speculating that Kang could easily be recast as variants of the character exist in multiple dimensions, as shown in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantummania.

Another scenario is that Marvel Studios could swap out Kang for another cosmic threat, like Galactus or Doctor Doom.
