Jonathan Majors has addressed newly surfaced audio exclusively obtained by Rolling Stone, in which he appeared to admit to having “aggressed” his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, during their 2022 altercation.
When asked about the recording, Majors ultimately refrained from directly commenting, but instead emphasized his ongoing personal growth.
“I was so grateful that I had done my work, you know? And I’m continuing to do my work,” he told Complex. “Because, I mean, I can’t speak to it. But obviously — because you’re talking about it. There were vibrations, you know? Reverberations. Same as everything before, you know? But I was just — I was happy I’d done my work, you know? I was happy I had done my work.”
The unearthed audio, recorded while the couple lived together in London during the filming of the Disney+ series Loki’s second season, captured Majors expressing remorse. “I’m ashamed I’ve ever —,” he begins before cutting himself off.
“I’ve never [been] aggressive with a woman before. I’ve never aggressed a woman — I aggressed you.” Jabbari then interjects, “You strangled me and pushed me against the car.” Majors replies, “Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah. That’s never happened to me.”

Majors, known for his role in the Michael B. Jordan film Creed III, was convicted in December 2023 on two counts of misdemeanor assault against Grace Jabbari, who alleged that Majors attacked her in the back of an SUV. He was ordered by a judge to complete a 52-week domestic violence intervention program after being found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment of Jabbari.
The verdict led to his swift dismissal from Marvel, where he portrayed Kang the Conqueror and his variants in Loki and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. His sentencing, however, did not include jail time.
The audio leak coincidentally surfaced following news that he and Meagan Good tied the knot in a private ceremony earlier this month. The couple announced their engagement at the EBONY Power 100 Gala in November. Despite his newest headlines, Majors is promoting his latest film, Magazine Dreams, which is now in theaters.
