Actor Jonathan Majors has been dropped from a movie project about former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman.

Majors, who was convicted last month of assault on a former girlfriend and faces his sentencing on Feb. 6, was cut from “48 Hours in Vegas,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Majors was convicted of one count of assault and one count of harassment, and could face up to a year in prison.

The film is about a trip Rodman made to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA finals.

Upon his conviction, Marvel Studios lopped Majors, who starred in “Quantumania,” from any upcoming projects.

Disney pulled the film “Magazine Dreams” in which Majors starred from its slate of upcoming releases.

A report from CNN indicated that Lionsgate studio has kicked the Rodman film back to its producers, allowing them to find another studio to make the movie.

Regardless of where the film ends up, CNN said it was told by sources that Majors will not be in it.

“I cannot imagine a world where this moves forward with Jonathan,” CNN reported one source it did not name as saying.

CNN also reported that although Majors was named as an actor who would star in a Spike Lee film called “Da Understudy,” his involvement on the film project ended after he was arrested last year on assault charges.

In spite of his conviction after a trial in which he did not testify, Majors has insisted he was not guilty.

“I’m standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, ‘How is that possible?’ Based off the evidence — based off the prosecution’s evidence, let alone our evidence — how is that possible?” Majors said, according to Good Morning America.

Majors said he did not know how former girlfriend Grace Jabbari was injured.

“I wish … I knew,” he said. “That would give clarity, that would give me some type of peace about it.”

He said he was certain he caused no injuries.

“I’m an athlete. I’m a sportsman. I know my body. I know how it moves. I know my strength, or lack thereof, you know? None of that was employed on her,” he said.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning
