In
his first televised remarks since a New York jury found him
guilty in December, Majors told ABC News he should have never
been in the car with his then-girlfriend. Prosecutors alleged
Majors assaulted her in a hired car in March, leaving her with a
broken finger and other injuries.
"If I'm man enough or brave enough to say 'I want to see
somebody else or I'm done now,' I'm not in that car, we're not
here," he said when asked if he was responsible for her
injuries.
"I'm responsible for that... none of her injuries," he added in
the pre-taped interview that aired on "Good Morning America".
A statement for the woman, Grace Jabbari, said Majors' comments
continued to show he still takes "no accountability for his
actions," and "demonstrates a clear lack of remorse for his
actions," ABC reported.
Majors, who faces sentencing Feb. 6 after being found guilty of
one count of assault and one count of harassment, was a rising
Hollywood star set to play the leading role in Marvel's upcoming
"Avengers: The Kang Dynasty" after portraying villain Kang the
Conqueror in 2023's "Ant-Man."
Majors said he hoped to work in Hollywood again. Asked if he
thought he deserved a second chance, he said: "I think I do, I
hope other people think that."
Majors and Jabbari met on the "Ant Man" set, according to ABC.
Their relationship was unhealthy and he should "have walked
away" from it, he said.
"I'm sorry," Majors told ABC. "I was reckless with her heart....
not with her body."
