Jonathan Majors To Receive Perseverance Recognition At Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards
Jonathan Majors has maintained a low-key profile since his public 2023 missteps, but that may about to change. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the disgraced actor will get another chance in the spotlight on Friday (June 21) when he is honored with the Perseverance Award at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards in Los Angeles.
Previous Impact Award recipients include Kelis, Law Roach, Chl?e Bailey, Babyface, Catherine Brewton, Whoopi Goldberg, Floyd Mayweather, Karen Bass, and Lizzo.
Hollywood Unlocked’s award show will also celebrate Cardi B with the Inspiration Award and Fat Joe with the Culture Award for his contributions to the culture at large. As for hosting duties, Tiffany Haddish has been tapped to orchestrate the night of commemoration, which will feature additional accolades given to civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and Da Brat. Fantasia, Karen Clark, and more will hit the stage for special performances throughout the night.
The Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards are set to be prerecorded and then aired exclusively on The Zeus Network.
Majors’ scheduled public award appearance arrives on the heels of the actor being convicted of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in December 2023. However, the Creed III thespian was acquitted of two other separate counts of intentional assault and aggravated harassment.
During the time of the trial, TMZ released footage showing Majors being chased on foot by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. The footage was shown in court, showing the couple’s fight as it transpired in the back of a vehicle. Jonathan could be seen lifting and placing Jabbari back in the car. Prosecutors claimed the interaction near the vehicles turned violent between the two, with the entertainer assaulting the Jabbari. This attack allegedly left Grace with a bloody laceration behind her ear and a bruised finger. As a result, Majors was sentenced to attend an in-person domestic violence intervention program in April 2024, which is set to last for 52 weeks.
