If you're reading this, you are undoubtedly aware of the fact that actor Jonathan Majors was previously convicted of assault and harassment against ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in 2023. He narrowly escaped a year of prison in sentencing, and was instead given probation and 52 weeks of a domestic abuse intervention program.

Unsurprisingly, the conviction basically halted Jonathan's career. His bodybuilding drama Magazine Dreams, which was said to be a real-deal shot at the Best Actor Oscar for the 35-year-old actor, was dropped by Fox Searchlight and will be dumped into select theaters next month after nearly two years on the shelf.

Jonathan was also dropped from his role as Kang in the MCU — a character that the entire current phase of the long-running film and TV franchise was essentially anchored around before shifting back to a more familiar face.

You are also probably aware that, prior to Jonathan's arrest, he starred in the blockbuster Creed III, which also starred and was directed by Michael B. Jordan. The movie was a considerable hit, grossing more than $275 million off of a $75 million budget.

In a new interview with GQ, Michael addressed Jonathan's arrest and conviction publicly for the first time, saying that it was a "tough situation" to witness.

“But he’s doing great, just got engaged,” Michael added, before going on to essentially defend Jonathan in his comments. “I’m proud of his resilience and his strength through it all, and [his] handling [of] it. I’m glad he’s good. That’s my boy.”

The journalist also noted that, when Michael was asked if he'd ever work with Jonathan again, he replied, "Yes. Yes."

Well, this is massively disappointing on a number of levels, but what isn't these days.
