Majors was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment, but acquitted of two other counts after a split verdict.
He could face up to a year in prison for these charges.
The incident occurred in March 2023 in New York City when Jabbari saw a message on Majors’ phone from another woman, triggering the altercation in a for-hire SUV.
Majors denied twisting Jabbari’s arm and causing her injuries in an interview, claiming she physically attacked him.

Jabbari has filed a lawsuit against Majors, seeking damages for physical injuries and emotional distress.
Majors’ attorney is preparing counterclaims against Jabbari in response to the lawsuit.
After being dropped by Marvel, Majors will not be reprising his role as Kang in future productions.
