Two more women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, have bravely come forward to share their experiences of abuse at the hands of Marvel star Jonathan Majors. This comes just two months after Majors was convicted for recklessly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. The bravery of these two women sheds light on the dark side of the entertainment industry and the abuse that often goes unnoticed and unreported.
In an interview with The New York Times, Duncan shared her story of multiple incidents of physical violence at the hands of Majors. One particularly frightening episode occurred in July 2016, where Majors allegedly choked her, threw her across the room, and threatened to make sure she could never have children. Majors has vehemently denied these accusations, but the fear and trauma that Duncan experienced remain very real.
Maura Hooper, who dated Majors from 2013 to 2015 after meeting at Yale's prestigious drama school, described a relationship filled with control and restriction. She claims that she was not allowed to speak to anyone about their relationship, and Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has acknowledged that Majors was young and insecure during that time, expressing embarrassment for his past behavior.
These allegations were first brought to light in a Rolling Stone investigation in June 2023, where multiple sources confirmed the details of the abuse. At the time, Duncan and Hooper chose not to comment, fearing retribution. One source stated, "It was widely known that he was a talented actor, but also that he would terrorize the people he dated."
Majors had previously been convicted in December for reckless assault and a harassment violation stemming from a March 2023 incident where he allegedly attacked Jabbari. The altercation occurred after Jabbari saw Majors receive a romantic text from another woman. While he was acquitted of the more serious charges, he now faces sentencing, originally scheduled for Feb. 6. However, his attorney's last-minute motions have postponed the sentencing until April 8. Despite facing up to a year in jail, it is unlikely that Majors will serve any time behind bars.
In light of these fresh allegations, Majors has broken his silence in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Linsey Davis. The post, written by Black Enterprise, highlights the seriousness of these allegations and the impact they have on the entertainment industry. It is time for the industry to address and take action against abuse.
