Jonathan Majors has been redeemed in the eyes of entertainment platform Hollywood Unlocked.
The Creed III star will be presented with the Perseverance Award at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards on June 21 in Los Angeles. While the ceremony is scheduled to be hosted by actress-comedian Tiffany Haddish, the Perseverance Award are designated to be "given to an individual who has shown that no matter what adversity they face, they will continue to aspire to inspire."
The decision is shocking to many, as Majors was convicted on two counts of reckless assault and harassment of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, last December. Last March, the former couple got into a domestic dispute in Brooklyn shortly before their breakup, and throughout the three-week trial, Majors was discovered to have berated and assaulted Jabbari throughout the course of their relationship. In April, Majors was sentenced to complete a 52-week domestic violence program, after being removed from multiple film projects and the Marvel Studios roster.
Majors hasn't been seen in a role since the second season of Loki (which was filmed before the domestic dispute), but the actor continues to be supported by his current partner, actress Meagan Good.
Along with Majors, the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards will honor Cardi B with the Inspiration Award, Fat Joe with the Culture Award, and designer Christian Louboutin with the Innovator Award, while additional recognition will be given to rapper Da Brat and her wife, Jesseca Harris-Dupart, attorney Ben Crump and U.S. representative Jasmine Crockett.
