Major Jonathan revealed the trauma of childhood abuse by Hollywood Reporter in a candid new interview, detailing his emotional journey in self-discovery and healing.
The 35-year-old actor, known for his outstanding role in Creed II, tried to rebuild his Hollywood career as a result of damage done in 2023 for attacking and harassing his former romantic partner.
The scandal seriously affected the trajectory he once vacated in TV and movies, stopping many compelling projects.
The Major spoke openly to the Hollywood Reporter, describing the enduring emotional scars left by sexual abuse during childhood, acknowledging that the experience had a profound impact on his emotional health.
“Since I was nine years old, I dealt with sexual abuse by men and women…the people who should take care of you without a father. I was very busy at the time,” the major explained.
The major’s father gave up on the family when he was only eight years old, and he shared how absent father protection complicated the trauma.
He recently discussed his childhood experience with his mother, revealing that she expressed remorse for not being hurt.
Major Jonathan reassured her and said, “I thought, ‘It’s not even a problem, mom. I just want you to know. Now we can all be busy and keep connecting, growing and learning from it because it’s something in our family.”
The former Marvel Cinematic Universe star once portrayed Conqueror Kang, who stressed that facing his past trauma has helped his understanding of recent disturbing behavior.
Instead of making excuses, professionalism insists on being committed to self-examination and personal responsibility.
In reflecting on one’s own struggles, the Grand Slam emphasizes facing reality rather than falling into a destructive pattern.
“There is no excuse, but by getting help, you start to understand your own things…will I fall into a collapsed, self-destructive narrative? Struggle, blame the world. Struggle, hate yourself. Struggle, deny everything. None of these narratives are beneficial,” he said.
