Jonathan Majors has revealed he was Sєxually abused as a child in a harrowing new interview.

The Creed III actor, 35, who is attempting a career comeback after his conviction for ᴀssaulting ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in December 2023, detailed his abuse by ‘men and women’ from the age of nine after his father abandoned the family a year earlier.

He told THR: ‘My pop is a very beautiful man, very gentle, but had some qualities that were not complementary to family life. He was the best dad until he wasn’t. And when he wasn’t, he was gone.

‘I dealt with Sєxual abuse from both men and women from the time I was 9. From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f****d up. 

The former Marvel star said his mandated 52 week domestic violence program along with therapy and counseling with his pastor after his trial, forced him to confront his childhood traumas.

Majors indicated his mother was unaware of the abuse, saying she ‘apologized for not being able to protect him.’

‘I’m like, “It’s not even an issue, mom. I just want you to know.”, he said ‘And now we can all get busy and continue to connect and grow and learn from it, because it’s something that was in our family.’

‘There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself.’

Elsewhere in the interview Majors opened up about the moment he was fired from Marvel – with a member of the legal team dropping the bombshell after his conviction.  

‘He goes, ‘I’m just gonna tell you now. That way you’re not surprised, and you can start processing it. They fired you. Marvel fired you.”’ – which Majors said was a ‘heartbreak like I’ve never experienced.’

Majors, who has an 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, said with help from residual checks and friends, he has continued to pay the same amount of child support as when his career was flourishing. 

He was forced to give up his penthouse apartment in New York and blew through his life savings within six months of his arrest.

McConaughey wrote: ‘I’ve known and know him as someone who is continuously striving to improve as a human, a man and an actor. I believe in him.’

Majors has been in a relationship with fiancee Meagan Good, 43, in May 2023  

The former Marvel actor was found guilty of misdemeanor ᴀssault and harᴀssment in December 2023 but shockingly avoided jail-time. 

Instead, Majors was sentenced to attend a 52-week domestic violence intervention program.

Majors began dating Meagan Good in May 2023 — just two months after he faced legal issues following his arrest for ᴀssaulting Jabbari, 31. They revealed their engagement in November 2024. 

In November, Majors and his ex Jabbari settled a civil lawsuit she filed against him, as both agreed to dismiss the litigation.

Prior to the 2023 ᴀssault, Majors’ career had been on an upswing.

He had secured a role as the тιтle villain in Marvel’s Kang Dynasty, but the studio dropped him after his conviction and cancelled plans for the film — a decision that left the actor ‘heartbroken.’

Despite his controversies, Majors has made his way back into the spotlight in recent months.

He has attended several major red carpet events and his latest film Magazine Dreams was recently ᴀssigned a theatrical release date.

The bodybuilding drama, which stars Majors, is slated for March 21, 2025 after being previously dropped in response to Majors’ ᴀssault conviction.

The film’s distributor Briarcliff Entertainment confirmed the upcoming release to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline in December.

Briarcliff Entertainment in October picked up distribution rights to the film, its chief executive Tom Ortenberg said, confirming in an email it was planning a ‘robust’ theatrical release in the first quarter of 2025. 

Magazine Dreams, which was written and directed by Elijah Bynum, sees Majors plays Killian Maddox, a lonely, aspiring bodybuilder prone to eruptions of rage, carrying wounds from a life filled with pain. 

He co-stars in the film include Harrison Page, Harriet Sansom Harris, Taylour Paige, Haley Bennett and Michael O’Hearn.

Magazine Dreams had been a critical hit at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2023. It was originally set to be released by Searchlight Pictures in late 2023.
