Jonathan Majors perdió su trabajo en Disney, porque Marvel lo está desvinculando de todos los proyectos del MCU, cortando los lazos a raíz de su veredicto de culpabilidad, TMZ ha confirmado.
Fuentes directas nos dicen que el estudio de películas de cómics —uno de los mayores sellos de la Casa del Ratón— no va a seguir adelante con el actor asediado y punto. Lo que significa que está perdiendo su papel clave como el gran villano de Marvel, Kang el Conquistador.
Eso es un gran golpe, viendo cómo ya ha retratado al personaje en una gran película de Marvel —"Ant-Man y la Avispa: Quantumania"— así como en dos temporadas de la serie de Disney+ "Loki". La segunda temporada de "Loki" incluía a Kang y sus variantes —otras versiones del gran villano, también interpretadas por Majors—, al igual que la película antes mencionada.
Según todos los indicios, Jonathan iba a interpretar a Kang durante al menos dos películas más de Marvel y se decía que el estudio lo estaba tratando a él y a Kang como la próxima especie de Thanos en su franquicia.
Ahora, sin embargo, todo se fue por la ventana y las dos nuevas películas de "Vengadores" que están actualmente en desarrollo y pre-producción —ambos de los cuales se adjuntaba como Kang— irán en una dirección totalmente nueva sin él. Había rumores de que Marvel ya estaba explorando sus opciones incluso antes del juicio y parece que están listos para pivotar.
No se sabe si Kang será reelegido o si simplemente cambiarán de villano, pero en cualquier caso, Majors acaba de ser despedido por su mayor empleador y está perdiendo millones de dólares.
Por supuesto, la decisión fue rápida, solo un par de horas después de haber sido declarado culpable de dos de los cuatro cargos en su juicio penal, donde enfrentaba cargos de agresión y acoso después de haber sido acusado de maltratar a su ex-novia en marzo.
Fue condenado por agresión imprudente y acoso y absuelto de agresión intencionada y acoso con agravantes. En términos sencillos, el jurado parece que le dingged por lo que puede haber sucedido fuera del coche y no necesariamente lo que pasó dentro.
El abogado de Majors parecía indicar que podría presentar una apelación, prometiendo limpiar su nombre. De cualquier manera, es evidente que Marvel y Disney no van a esperar.
Jonathan Majors Found Guilty In NYC Criminal Trial

update
1:30 PM PT -- Jonathan Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, tells us, "It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari's story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that."
Chaudhry continues, "We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him. Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months. Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name."
12:42 PM PT -- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tells TMZ, “At the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, we are committed to centering survivors in all of our work. The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day."
Bragg continues, "Today, a jury determined that pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend. We thank the jury for its service and the survivor for bravely telling her story despite having to relive her trauma on the stand."
Jonathan Majors was just found guilty in his criminal trial -- after a jury decided the actor's fate following 3 days of deliberations.
The verdict came down Monday in NYC, and the actor was found guilty on one count of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment. Remember, he'd initially been slapped with 8 separate charges -- all pertaining to alleged assault and harassment -- but before things kicked off ... the D.A.'s office agreed to drop four of them in an effort to consolidate their complaint.
He was acquitted of two other charges ... one count of intentional assault and one count of aggravated harassment. Now, he faces a maximum sentence of up to a year behind bars.
The trial, which lasted about two weeks, had some standout moments right from the jump in opening statements -- when prosecutors alleged Majors had a history of violence in his relationships, and that the March incident in question was simply the latest example.
Prosecutors claim Majors and his accuser, Grace Jabbari, had gotten into an argument that night after she discovered some texts from another woman ... but asserted Majors was the one who escalated things by allegedly twisting her arm behind her back, and her finger as well. They also claimed he threw her back into the car they were in after she attempted to exit. In other words, they alleged he roughed her up ... and the 6-person jury agreed.
One critical piece of evidence presented in court involved surveillance video of the night in question ... showing a scuffle between Majors and Jabbari, plus a foot chase shortly thereafter ... with Majors bolting away from Jabbari, who runs after him for a few blocks.
Jabbari herself also took the stand as the key witness, and she backed the prosecution's case ... namely, that Majors had gotten physical with her that night, and it followed a pattern of controlling/manipulative behavior that, at times, teetered on violence.
She described other alleged instances of Majors losing his temper ... and delivered emotional testimony. On cross, though, Majors' defense team attempted to pick apart her story ... including asking her whether she was actually injured that night, despite security footage that showed her partying after the fact and looking seemingly unharmed/unbothered.
Major's 911 call the day he was arrested was also released ... he called after finding Jabbari passed out in his penthouse apartment and feared she may have attempted suicide.
Throughout the trial, Majors appeared alongside his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, who stood by him during the saga -- whose presence some thought would buy him goodwill.
The bigger question now, of course, is what happens to his career ... it was on the ropes even before the trial -- and now, it feels like he might start to be dropped en masse. It's a big blow ... Majors had already started playing Marvel's next big bad, and he was a rising star in Hollywood with Oscar aspirations too.
He'll be sentenced February 6.

Jonathan Majors declarado culpable de agresión y acoso en un juicio penal

actualización
12:42 PM PT -- El Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan Alvin Bragg le dice a TMZ, "En la Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan, estamos comprometidos a centrarnos en los sobrevivientes en todo nuestro trabajo. La evidencia presentada a lo largo de este juicio ilustra un ciclo de abuso psicológico y emocional y la escalada de los patrones de coerción demasiado común a través de los muchos casos de violencia de pareja íntima que vemos todos los días".
Bragg continúa: "Hoy, un jurado ha determinado que ese patrón de abuso y coacción culminó con la agresión y el acoso del Sr. Majors a su novia. Damos las gracias al jurado por su servicio y a la superviviente por contar valientemente su historia a pesar de tener que revivir su trauma en el estrado".
Jonathan Majors acaba de ser declarado culpable en su juicio penal después de que un jurado decidiera el destino del actor tras tres días de deliberaciones.
El veredicto se conoció el lunes en Nueva York y el actor fue declarado culpable de un cargo de agresión en tercer grado y culpable de acoso. Recordemos que en un principio se le habían imputado 8 cargos distintos, todos relacionados con supuestas agresiones y acoso, pero antes de que se iniciara el juicio, la fiscalía aceptó retirar cuatro de ellos para unificar la denuncia. Fue absuelto de otros dos cargos de asalto y acoso agravado
Ahora se enfrenta a una pena máxima de hasta un año entre rejas.
El juicio, que duró cerca de dos semanas, tuvo algunos momentos destacados desde el salto en las declaraciones de apertura, cuando los fiscales alegaron Majors tenía un historial de violencia en sus relaciones y que el incidente de marzo en cuestión era simplemente el último ejemplo.
Los fiscales afirman que Majors y su demandante, Grace Jabbari, habían entrado en una discusión esa noche después de que ella descubrió algunos textos de otra mujer, pero afirmó que Majors fue quien escaló las cosas por presuntamente torcer su brazo detrás de la espalda y lastimar su dedo. También afirmaron que la arrojó de vuelta al carro en el que estaban después de que ella intentara salir. En otras palabras, alegaron que la maltrató y el jurado tuvo a seis personas de acuerdo con esto.
Una pieza fundamental de la evidencia presentada en el tribunal fue un video de vigilancia de la noche en cuestión que muestra una pelea entre Majors y Jabbari, además de una persecución a pie poco después, con Majors corriendo lejos de Jabbari durante unas pocas cuadras.
Jabbari también subió al estrado como testigo clave y apoyó el caso frente a la fiscalía. Diciendo que Majors se había puesto violento con ella esa noche, y continuó con un comportamiento manipulador y controlador que a veces se transformaba en violencia.
Ella describió otros supuestos casos en los que Majors perdió los estribos y entregó un testimonio emocional. El equipo de defensa de Majors intentó desmontar su historia, incluso le preguntaron si ella estaba realmente herida esa noche. Esto a raíz de las imágenes de seguridad que la mostraba de fiesta después del hecho, donde se veía aparentemente ilesa y para nada perturbada.
La llamada de Majors al 911 el día que fue arrestado también se dio a conocer, él llamó después de encontrar a Jabbari desmayada en su ático y temía que ella podría haber intentado suicidarse.
A lo largo del juicio, Majors apareció junto a su actual novia, Meagan Good, quien estuvo a su lado todo el tiempo. Algunos pensaban que su presencia le compraría buena voluntad, pero no fue suficiente
La pregunta más importante ahora, por supuesto, es lo que sucederá con su carrera, la cual estaba contra las cuerdas incluso antes del juicio. Este es un gran golpe considerando que Majors ya había comenzado a interpretar el próximo gran villano de Marvel y él era una estrella en ascenso en Hollywood con aspiraciones de Óscar.
Será sentenciado el 6 de febrero.

NBA G Leaguer Chance Comanche Suspected Of Murdering Woman ... Dumping Her In Desert
Chance Comanche, an NBA player who's spent the majority of his basketball career in the G League, has been arrested ... after officials say he helped murder a woman -- and then dumped her remains in a desert.
Comanche was thrown behind bars in the case on Friday -- following a lengthy investigation into the disappearance of Marayna Rodgers by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
According to the LVMPD, two individuals told officers on Dec. 7 that Rodgers had gone missing -- and a short time later, cops say they discovered the woman had scheduled a meeting with Comanche and his 19-year-old girlfriend, Sakari Harnden, on Dec. 5 -- but had not been seen or heard from since.
The LVMPD says early on in the investigation, its detectives "suspected foul play" in the case and sought to arrest both Comanche and Harden for kidnapping.
On Dec. 13, Harnden was booked in Las Vegas ... while Comanche -- who was playing this season for the G League's Stockton Kings -- was taken in by FBI agents in Sacramento two days later.
However, the LVMPD says following the arrests, officers were able to gather more information in the case and discovered Rodgers' remains in a desert area in Henderson, Nevada.
LVMPD detectives say they believe both Comanche and Harnden were responsible for her death -- and now, they say the two will be facing murder charges.
Comanche, a 27-year-old, 6-foot-10 center, first joined the G League in 2017 after going undrafted out of the University of Arizona ... and after spending time with multiple teams -- including the Stockton Kings -- he eventually made his debut in the NBA for the Portland Trailblazers last season.
This year, he rejoined the Stockton squad ... though he was cut following his arrest on Friday.
Comanche is now slated for a court appearance later this week, and it's expected he'll be extradited to Nevada shortly after.

Fans have noticed Vonshae popping out with a mystery man these past few weeks, and the reality star tells TMZ Hip Hop his name is Franck Njonkou Seudio -- a 26-year-old multi-millionaire businessman from Africa, and they've been dating for one month.
Vonshae tells us she had been depressed during the Gunplay fiasco -- the rapper was arrested for DV back in August -- but says she's now in a great state of mind.
She and Franck first met when he DM'ed her a few weeks after Gunplay got arrested, and their first date consisted of going for pizza and a casual walk in Florida.
Things have been clicking so far -- Vonshae tells us Franck owns multiple businesses that sprawl across media, e-commerce, Airbnb properties and cars. Plus, she says Mr. Lover-Lover is also fluent in French and has already expressed his wishes to marry her and adopt her 9-month-old daughter!!!

Gunplay recently had his bond revoked for attempting to pressure Vonshae not to testify against him ... and was sentenced to 28-36 months for violating the court-appointed restraining order as a result.

Meek Mill Tearjerker Speech At PA Probation Bill Signing

Meek Mill's emotions came pouring out while speaking at the signing of a probation reform bill in Philadelphia ... and his tears were clearly related to memories of his own years of legal woes.
PA Governor Josh Shapiro signed the bill inside Philly's National Constitution Center, and Meek recalled the anxiety he had risking his freedom crossing state lines to New Jersey just to take his son to school when he was on probation years ago.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He then broke down at the podium while thanking Gov. Shapiro and the rest of the committee for signing the bill, which lessens the chances of people on probation being sent back to jail for minor offenses.
Meek says guys like him who come from poor upbringings have to fight twice as hard just for acceptance, and being tossed around the system while labeled a felon makes things much worse.
The "Dreams & Nightmares" rapper was infamously placed on probation for a 2008 gun case, and later ended up having serious beef with a judge who sent him to prison for a 2017 probation violation. So, it's pretty obvious why the cause is so dear to his heart.
It'll be interesting to see if the new laws influence Meek's lyrics going forward -- he was called out last month by Dee-1 for being the face of orgs like Reform while still glorifying street activity in his raps.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's girlfriend got arrested on a felony charge after video appeared to show her smacking him with a 2x4 multiple times, and damaging his Bentley.
Dominican rapper Yailin La Más Viral was busted Thursday following a domestic dispute at Tekashi's Florida home.

Cops say Tekashi told them Yailin grabbed a 2x4 during the fight and started hitting him ... and he accuses her of kicking his Bentley's sideview mirror and using a ground stake to break the windshield.
The police report says Tekashi also claimed Yailin pulled his hair ... and he showed officers cell phone footage of the fight.
Tekashi ended up posting some of the video on social media ... and it appears to show Yailin wailing on him with a 2x4, hitting him at least 4 times before being taken away in handcuffs.
Cops say Yailin told them Tekashi was withholding her money and passport from her, causing her to become upset. Police say she told them she tried to leave Tekashi's pad but he stopped her, and that's when she decided to damage his car "to cause him financial hardship."
In the end, police say the video footage gave them probable cause to arrest Yailin for aggravated battery, witness tampering and felony criminal mischief. She was taken into custody and transported to central jail.
It's not the first time Tekashi and Yailin have been seen fighting on camera ... but it appears this is the first time a dispute has escalated to violence and an arrest.

Pacman Jones Pleads Guilty To Misdemeanor In Airport Outburst Case ... Apologizes To Cops
Pacman Jones pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct in a Kentucky courtroom on Thursday in his airport meltdown case -- and after he submitted the plea, the ex-NFL star apologized to the cops he screamed at during the outburst.
Jones appeared before a judge in Boone County to issue the plea after reaching a deal with prosecutors.
As part of the plea agreement, officials dropped the other two charges he had been facing in the case -- alcohol intoxication and making a terroristic threat.
The judge sentenced Jones to 30 days in jail but suspended imposition of the sentence ... meaning if Jones keeps nose clean for the next two years, the former football player won't have to serve any time behind bars.
After the hearing, Jones provided a statement on the case on his X page -- writing, in part, "I am not proud of my conversations with the police that day."
Your Honor,
— ADAm Pacman Jones (@REALPACMAN24) December 14, 2023 @REALPACMAN24
Thank you for allowing me to speak on my own behalf today. I take my role as a retired athlete and citizen of our community seriously; I absolutely believe in giving back and treating others well. I LOVE living in this city. That’s why I am disappointed that I…
"I am truly aware that police have a very difficult job and deserve to be treated with respect and appreciation ... The police were professional with me and deserved my respect in return. I genuinely apologize."
Remember, Jones was first arrested in the case while at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on Sept. 11, after he got into a spat with airline employees over the electrical outlets in his seat on the plane.
Jones claimed he complained about his outlets not working -- and in response, airline officials decided to boot him from the flight.
Once Jones got off the jet, he blew a fuse ... with body cam footage showing him yelling at officers.
In his statement Thursday, Jones said he simply "let my frustrations from the plane bubble over into my conversation with the officers."
"I regret the fact that my comments were rude, offensive, and not warranted," he added.

BELOW DECK CHARTER GUESTS ARRESTED Allegedly Filled Prescriptions Using Cast Members' Names
A couple who appeared on the reality show "Below Deck" are now in some serious legal trouble ... after prosecutors claim they engaged in a prescription drug scheme involving using the names of cast members from the show.
Dr. Francis Martinis and his wife, Jessica -- who appeared as chartered guests on an episode of "Below Deck Mediterranean" and "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" -- were indicted in a Long Island court on Thursday, accused of using the names of the Bravo show's cast members to fill out prescriptions for opioids throughout Suffolk County.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney, Francis and Jessica Martinis have been charged with 4 felony counts of criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance by a practitioner -- and 4 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Authorities say they were notified of the alleged scheme back in January ... after Jess allegedly attempted to fill a hand-written prescription for oxycodone at a Long Island pharmacy -- though her name was not the one on the prescription.
Prosecutors say instead of filling the prescription, the pharmacist called the police ... which then kickstarted an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
And now authorities say they discovered the Martinis electronically transmitted multiple prescriptions to pharmacies across Long Island ... under the name of different former BD cast members despite none living in the vicinity.
It's claimed that Jessica would pick up the prescriptions and pay for them with cash.
The DA blasted the couple ... saying in a statement that their alleged actions violated the oath they took at the start of their careers and the law.
The judge set bail conditions, and the couple is due back in court in January.

TODD CHRISLEY PRISON BLASTS ANIMAL-INFESTED FOOD CLAIMS ... 'Our Meals Are Appetizing!!'

Exclusive

Todd Chrisley is one hungry jailbird ... claiming he's being fed animal-infested meals while behind bars -- though his prison begs to differ.
In a statement to TMZ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is adamant they operate safe and humane facilities despite Todd's claims that rats/squirrels are on the loose in their food storage facility & a dead cat dropped from the ceiling onto their food -- adding the quality of food consumed by their incarcerated population is a priority.
The FBOP also refutes Todd's claims the food is laden with black mold and out of date by at least a year ... saying that expired food is discarded and not utilized.
In fact, they work under FBOP regulations, and tell us ... their food service mission aims to provide healthy, nutritionally sound, and appetizing meals that meet the needs of every individual.
FBOP institutions -- including FPC Pensacola, where Todd is incarcerated -- are accredited by the American Correctional Association, which covers indoor living and other essential regulations such as environmental conditions like temperature and air quality.
Clearly, they're not thrilled Todd is speaking out about prison conditions while behind bars ... and the FBOP says it urges inmates to instead seek a formal review through the prison's Administrative Remedy Program for any concerns.
To add insult to injury, Todd's daughter Savannah recently accused prison officials of retaliating against Todd for speaking out about lock-up conditions.
On that issue, Chrisley's lawyer Jay Surgent, says Todd's bravery in speaking out about the state of the prison should be congratulated, not criticized. The Bureau of Prisons said it thoroughly investigates all claims of employee misconduct.
Remember, Todd's wife Julie Chrisley is serving her time at FMC Lexington, where we haven't heard a peep from her about the grub.
Guess the KPC, Kentucky prison cooking, is just fine with her!

Jonathan Majors Despotrica sobre Coretta Scott King y Obama en un audio Grita 'Soy un gran hombre'
El infame sermón de Jonathan Majors sobre Coretta Scott King y Michelle Obama, que fue descrito en la corte, se puede escuchar por primera vez en audio y es ... interesante.
En este se escucha cómo Majors reprende a su exnovia y denunciante Grace Jabbari para que sea más como King y Obama en su propia relación. El audio fue liberado dentro de las pruebas que se dieron a conocer el miércoles, y como hemos dicho, es memorable.
Ya sabíamos el contexto general de lo que le había reclamado Majors a Jabbari durante este viejo incidente -que fue admitido como prueba por parte de los fiscales- pero escucharlo es algo completamente distinto porque se puede digerir en su totalidad, tono incluido.
Vamos a dejar que lo escuches tú mismo, pero por lo que podemos ver Majors parece estar enfadado con Jabbari por haber salido de fiesta con sus amigos, algo que piensa podría hacerlo quedar mal teniendo en cuenta su imagen pública y su estatus de famoso A-List.
Él le dice que tiene que tener en cuenta que son una "unidad", y que piense cómo Coretta y Michelle están al lado de sus hombres y se comportan respetuosamente.
Otra línea notable de Majors es cuando dice que es un "gran hombre", algo que repite.
Durante el sermón, se puede escuchar a Jabbari moqueando. También se disculpa a lo largo del discurso. Por supuesto, al parecer también estaba grabando en secreto a Majors.
La revelación de este argumento ciertamente no le hizo ningún favor a Majors la semana pasada, pero ahora que está disponible públicamente para todos es difícil saber si lo va a ayudar o a perjudicar, en general.
El juicio de Majors continúa esta semana, y ahora la defensa está presentando su caso.
