Hollywood Unlocked Awards 2024: Jonathan Majors To Receive Perseverance Award

Write Comment

Hollywood’s biggest night is fast approaching, with the fourth annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards gearing up to celebrate some of the industry’s most influential figures.

Among the honorees set to take the stage is Jonathan Majorss. The actor will be receiving the prestigious Perseverance Award at the star-studded event on June 21. The award is given to an individual who has shown that no matter what adversity they face, they will continue to aspire to inspire.

For Majors, this recognition comes in the wake of a challenging legal battle that saw him convicted of reckless assault and harassment last year which led to him being sentenced to a 52-week domestic violence intervention program back in April. The charges stemmed from a March 2023 incident with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. As previously reported, Jabbari testified that she saw a strange text message on his phone from another woman while they were in a vehicle. She claimed that he tried to grab his phone back which ultimately led to the alleged assault. However, surveillance videos showed Majors escaping the vehicle and running far away from Jabbari in the New York City streets; with her chasing him from behind. A jury ultimately convicted him on two charges and found Majors not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and not guilty of aggravated harassment in the second degree after a two-week trial. Despite all the setbacks while trying his best to maintain his innocence, Majors continued to push forward while being determined to earn his respect back from his peers and the industry.

Fans can expect a poignant acceptance speech from Majors as he takes the stage to reflect on the trials and tribulations of the past year. Alongside his girlfriend Meagan Good, Majors has been making notable public appearances, and his acceptance of the Perseverance Award marks a significant moment in his journey of growth and redemption.
