The star was the recipient of the award – which is given to ‘an individual who has shown that no matter what adversity they face, they will continue to aspire to inspire.’
During his speech, he gave a special shoutout to Meagan, while also referencing to his domestic violence conviction to the crowd, per The Hollywood Reporter.
‘I reckon folks want to know about the last year. As a Black man in the criminal justice system, I felt anger, I felt sadness, hurt, surprise. When they snatched me up out of my apartment in handcuffs, I didn’t feel like all that.’
He continued, ‘I didn’t feel like Jonathan Majors, Mr. Creed, Mr. Kang; I felt like a little scared, weak boy, despite the support and evidence that was in my favor, I knew s**t was bad.’
‘And it was bad because of who I was and what I am. This is what happens to Black people all too often.’
Major then credited his faith, stating, ‘The God I serve has put me in a position where I’ve had to embody that word more than I wished or wanted to.’

‘We live in a world where men, Black men in particular, are propped up as either superheroes or super villains, but I’ve come to realize, me personally, I ain’t none of that. I’m imperfect. I have shortcomings, I acknowledge them. I love my craft.’
Towards the end, he told Meagan, ‘I love you, I love you beyond all limit, with all my strength, with all my heart I love you,’ while also giving a shout out to his daughter, Ella, nine.
And earlier this year in March, Good opened up about her romance with Majors, and told People, ‘I’m in love, I’m transitioning, I’m healing, I’m growing [and] I’m getting excited about what’s next.’
‘Yeah, just a lot of things at once. But what I can say is, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.’
Jonathan also landed his first major role in the supernatural revenge thriller тιтled, Merciless, following his domestic violence conviction.
The Devotion actor is taking on the leading role of a CIA interrogator in the upcoming independent film, per ᴅᴇᴀᴅline.

Christopher Tuffin is also producing the thriller – and is known for producing other movies such as the box office hit, Sound Of Freedom (2023).
The premise of Merciless follows Jonathan’s character, who ‘after the woman he loves is overtaken by a malevolent force, is forced to go even darker to defeat it.’
According to Martin, the movie – which is based on an original screenplay penned by Frank Hannah – ‘intertwines themes of possession, revenge and personal justice within a haunting narrative,’ according to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline.
He further added, ‘It explores the psychological descent of John, played by Majors, and the supernatural forces challenging his sanity.’
Additional details about Merciless are slated to be unveiled by Tuffin later this year in September during the Toronto International Film Festival.
In regards to the casting of Majors, Tuffin expressed that he, ‘refuses to let the court of public opinion and selective prosecution undermine great art and artists.’
He stated, ‘In graduate school, I had the good fortune to study screenwriting under Blacklist scribe Millard Lampell and learned from him the dangers of letting politics undermine due process and deprive artists of their careers.’
‘I consider it an honor and a privilege to be working with Jonathan who is such a great talent now that this matter has been adjudicated.’

Back in March 2023, Jonathan was arrested for physically ᴀssaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in New York City.
He was found guilty in December 2023 of one count of reckless ᴀssault in the third degree along with a charge of harᴀssment.
In April of this year, Majors was sentenced to 52 weeks of a domestic violence intervention program and probation.
After his arrest, the Yale Drama School graduate was dropped as a client by both is management company Entertainment 360 and the public relations firm The Lede Company.
Marvel Studios also dropped him after Majors portrayed Kang the Conqueror in both film and television.
Jabbari was present during the sentencing hearing and got visibly emotional as she tore into her ex-boyfriend.
‘He is not sorry, he has not accepted responsibility and he will do this again,’ she said. ‘He will hurt other women. This is a man who believes he is above the law.’
Jabbari was granted a full restraining order on April 27, 2023, barring Majors from contacting her.

Majors after the incident went to police with his own allegations against the choreographer, claiming she had been the aggressor, but no charges were filed against her.
Earlier this year in March, his ex Jabbari also sued Jonathan for both injuring and defaming her. Soon after, Majors shared his response to TMZ while at the gym amidst training for ‘work’ related to an acting role.
He expressed that he was ‘not surprised’ by the new lawsuit and added, ‘I knew it was coming from the beginning, really.’
When questioned to give more insight, the Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania star explained that he, ‘cant say much else about it – that’s the law.’
During an interview with ABC in January, Majors revealed that he was ‘shocked’ by his guilty verdict. ‘I have never hit a woman. I have never struck a woman.’
He added that both he and his attorneys believed it is unjust that he was prosecuted ‘as a black man’ while his ex, who is white, was not – despite her chasing him down a street and also being arrested.
‘I was absolutely shocked and afraid. I am standing there… I say “how is that possible? Based off the evidence, based off the prosecution’s evidence, how is that possible?'”
In regards to how Jabbari got the injuries that had been presented to the jury during the trial, the actor said, ‘I wish to God I knew.’
‘That would give me some clarity, some type of peace about it,’ Jonathan continued, adding that there’s ‘no question’ that he didn’t cause the injuries.
