Jonathan Majors is set the lift the lid on his side of the story.

As widely reported, the actor was found guilty on two of the four misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment he faced in his domestic abuse case with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

Having maintained a measured silence publicly since being arrested last March, Majors – who has steadfastly maintained his innocence – will be sitting down with ABC News to unpack his version of events as well as the impact it’s had on his life and career.

Majors was dropped by his management and PR firms upon his initial arrest and Marvel axed him from the role of Kang the Conqueror in the MCU almost immediately following the handing down of the guilty verdict.

Set to air on Monday, January 8, the star will be quizzed on everything by anchor Linsey Davis. A segment will broadcast on Good Morning America, with the full interview running on ABC News at 7.00 pm. EST.

In a newly unwrapped sneak peek preview, a tearful Majors breaks down and admits “it’s been hard.”
