The “Creed III” actor reflected on his childhood traumas in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, which was conducted nearly two years after he was found guilty of assaulting his ex.
“I dealt with sexual abuse from both men and women from the time I was 9,” Majors, now 35, shared. “From people who are supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father. I was f–ked up.”
Majors, whose father left when he was 8, said he recently told his mother about the abuse he endured. His mum, a pastor, reacted by apologising for not being able to protect him.
“I’m like, ‘It’s not even an issue, Mum. I just want you to know. 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,’” he said.
Majors said that working through his own trauma has helped him unpack his past behaviour.
“There are no excuses, but by getting help, you begin to understand things about yourself,” he said.
Majors told the outlet that he has since learned to take accountability for “writing [his] own story.”
“Am I going to fall into that narrative of falling apart, of self-destruction? Have a struggle, blame the world. Have a struggle, hate yourself. Have a struggle, deny everything,” he said. “None of those narratives is beneficial.”
Instead, Majors says he plans to “have a struggle, learn, metabolise, grow.”
Majors has slowly returned to the spotlight after he was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in December 2023.
Jabbari claimed that he had a pattern of showing rage and accused the actor of attacking her while they were both riding in a chauffeured car — an incident that landed her in the hospital with minor injuries.
Majors pleaded not guilty to the accusations, claiming he has never hit a woman.
He was convicted of assault and harassment in a split verdict, though he was acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment.
The jury believed Majors had caused injuries to Jabbari during the altercation but that it was done unintentionally. He avoided jail time and was sentenced to probation and a year-long domestic violence intervention program.
Right after the verdict, the “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” star was dropped by Marvel Studios.
“There were days when it was like, ‘Is this real?’” Majors told the outlet while reflecting on the trial. “It’s a heartbreak like I’ve never experienced and it just compounded and compounded.”
Jabbari filed a second lawsuit against Majors accusing him of assault, battery, defamation and infliction of emotional distress.
In November 2024, she dropped the case after reaching a settlement — days after Majors got engaged to Meagan Good.
