Se reaviva la demanda contra Nirvana por pornografía infantil por la portada de "Nevermind"
Nirvana y la herencia de Kurt Cobain volverán a enfrentar la demanda que los acusa de pornografía infantil
El Tribunal de Apelaciones de EE.UU. para el Noveno Circuito revivió la demanda el jueves, revocando la decisión de un tribunal inferior de olvidar todo el asunto.
Recordemos que Spencer Elden dice que él es el bebé desnudo que aparece en la portada del álbum "Nevermind" de la banda. Por supuesto, ahora ya es mayor y en 2021 presentó una demanda contra Nirvana y el patrimonio de Cobain por la portada.
Spencer acusó a Nirvana de publicar pornografía infantil al utilizar una foto suya desnudo en la portada del álbum allá por 1991, cuando solo tenía cuatro meses.
La demanda fue desestimada en septiembre de 2022, cuando un juez de distrito en California dictaminó que Spencer había esperado demasiado tiempo para demandar a Nirvana.
Ahora, el tribunal de apelaciones dice que la demanda puede seguir adelante porque Nirvana volvió a publicar la portada del álbum en 2021 cuando la banda volvió a lanzar "Nevermind" y sostuvo que cada republicación de la portada puede constituir una nueva lesión a Elden, despejando el camino para que Spencer continúe su demanda contra la banda de grunge de Seattle.
Será interesante ver cómo se resuelve este asunto esta vez... esten atentos.

Blueface and Chrisean Rock continue to put their infant son in danger ... going live on Instagram after a dispute where Chrisean claims BF ambushed her, and punched her in the face.
Both went live Thursday morning from BF's driveway -- according to Chrisean, Blueface asked her to come over -- and she listened, hoping to get some babysitting relief.
She then claims Blueface ambushed and assaulted her, striking her several times in the head. It appears he left bloody evidence all over her car and his knuckles. Chrisean refused to leave Blueface's driveway and told her followers that she was waiting for the cops to come to haul him away to jail.
However, as for Blueface, he claims Chrisean showed up unannounced, and claimed the baby, Chrisean Jr., was being transported without the safety of a car seat.
Chrisean fired back with receipts ... posting their recent text messages to prove he had asked her to come over.
Law enforcement sources tell us at this time, no calls to service have been made to the residence, but it's undeniable, the situation surrounding the child has been toxic for weeks.
Blueface went live in early December claiming he had to rescue Chrisean Jr. in the middle of the night while Chrisean allegedly chased a booty call.

Blueface y Chrisean Rock siguen poniendo a su hijo en peligro, haciendo lives de Instagram después de una disputa donde Chrisean afirma que Blueface le tendió una emboscada y le dio un puñetazo en la cara.
Ambos aparecieron en vivo el jueves por la mañana en la vereda de Blueface. De acuerdo con Chrisean, Blueface le pidió que se acercara con la esperanza de obtener ayuda con el niño.
Ella afirma que Blueface la emboscó y la agredió, golpeándola varias veces en la cabeza. Al parecer dejó pruebas sangrientas por todo su coche y sus nudillos. Chrisean se negó a abandonar la entrada de Blueface y le dijo a sus seguidores que estaba esperando a que la policía viniera a llevárselo a la cárcel.
Sin embargo, en cuanto a Blueface, Chrisean afirma que apareció sin previo aviso y dijo que el bebé, Chrisean Jr, estaba siendo transportado sin la seguridad de un asiento para bebés en el carro.
Chrisean posteó los mensajes, demostrando que él le había pedido que viniera.
Fuentes policiales nos dicen que no ha habido llamadas, pero es innegable que la situación que rodea al niño ha sido tóxica durante semanas.
Blueface salió en vivo a principios de diciembre afirmando que tuvo que rescatar a Chrisean Jr. en medio de la noche mientras Chrisean supuestamente atendía una llamada.
Jake Paul I'm Fighting Again In March ... And Wanna Walton's On The Card, Too!!!
Andre August is still feeling that knockout punch from a week ago, but Jake Paul is already moving on to his next boxing match -- he's entering the ring again in three months ... and "Euphoria" star Wanna Walton will be on the card, too!!
The Problem Child announced the huge event just minutes ago ... saying he will be the co-main event when Amanda Serrano faces off against Nina Meinke at El Coliseo De Puerto Rico on March 2.
Jake's opponent for the Most Valuable Promotions event has not been revealed just yet.
Paul posted on social media about the move ... saying, "Guess who’s back :) … Jake already? Yes, I’m on a mission... But this one is much bigger than me."
"This one is for the greatest Puerto Rican boxer ever, Amanda Serrano. This one is for the people of Puerto Rico, from the Choliseo to the world. This one is for all of boxing to see how powerful women are in this sport and for Wanna Walton to usher in his superstar boxing future in front of 20,000 people."
Of course, Jake -- who's now 8-1 in his pro boxing career -- just beat August in Florida on Dec. 15 ... whooping his ass in the first round with a right uppercut.
17-year-old Wanna -- famous for playing beloved character "Ashtray" on the HBO show -- has been boxing for the majority of his life ... and he recently joined Paul's MVP as he pursues a championship career.
"I wanted to go somewhere where I knew that I was gonna be valued, and a place that I knew that they were going to care about me a lot, and a place with a lot of talent," Wanna told TMZ Sports back in August. "Everyone over at MVP is very talented and they've all done such amazing things in their career."
Jake said he's super pumped for the whole event ... saying, "I can’t wait to fight in San Juan and show the world this beautiful island."
"Yours truly, El Gallo de Dorado."

Absurdo video Policía de Vermont arresta a un conductor Por mostrarle el dedo y llamarlo idiota
Un policía estatal de Vermont arrestó a un automovilista por mostrarle el dedo y llamarlo idiota hace cinco años, pero el inusual encuentro fue capturado en video y recién fue publicado en YouTube.
Todo comenzó el 8 de febrero de 2019, cuando el policía estatal Jay Riggen conducía en su carro patrulla y vio a Gregory Bombard aparentemente mostrarle el dedo medio mientras se cruzaba con él en otro vehículo.
Cabreado, Riggen detuvo a Bombard en una calle residencial y se acercó a la ventanilla de su conductor, lo que desencadenó el posterior enfrentamiento.
En el video recién publicado en YouTube, Riggen acusa a Bombard de su supuesta grosería, pero Bombard lo niega y le dice al policía que él debe ser "sensible".
Riggen se molesta aún más por el comentario de la sensibilidad y le explica que no ha detenido a nadie en 12 años por mostrarle el dedo.
También lo califica de "comportamiento inusual", sugiriendo que Bombard buscaba llamar la atención de un policía emitiendo esa "señal negativa".
Los dos siguen discutiendo sobre ello hasta que en un momento dado, Bombard le pregunta qué delito se habría cometido si hubiese enseñado el dedo del medio. Riggen no lo dice exactamente, lo que lleva a Bombard a amenazarlo con presentar una denuncia contra él.
Finalmente, Riggen se sube de nuevo a su carro patrulla y sigue el vehículo de Bombard por la calle, mientras sigue caliente por la riña.
Dentro del carro patrulla, se pueda escuchar a Riggen diciendo que Bombard lo llamó "gilipollas" y le dijo "que te jodan" mientras se alejaba. El policía entonces enciende sus luces y sirenas, anunciando que lo está arrestando por alteración del orden público
El resto del video transcurre exactamente como se podría imaginar. Bombard es esposado y encarcelado. Pero más tarde se retiraron los cargos contra él y se cerró el caso.
En 2021, Bombard presentó una demanda civil contra Riggen, alegando que el policía violó sus derechos de la Primera Enmienda cuando fue "interrogado, detenido y citado" por un delito. La demanda sigue pendiente.
Crazy Dashcam Video Vermont Trooper Arrests Driver ... For Flipping Him Off, Calling Him "A**hole"
A Vermont State Trooper arrested a motorist for flipping him the bird and calling him an a**hole five years ago -- but the insane encounter was all caught on video and recently uploaded to YouTube.
It all began on February 8, 2019, when state trooper Jay Riggen was driving in his patrol car and saw Gregory Bombard seemingly give him the middle finger while cruising by in another vehicle.
Pissed, Riggen pulled Bombard over on a residential street and stepped up to his driver's side window, sparking the ensuing confrontation.
In the newly released dash cam video on YouTube, Riggen immediately accuses Bombard of flipping him off -- but Bombard denies it, saying the trooper must be "sensitive."
Riggen gets even more annoyed at the sensitivity remark, explaining that he hasn't stopped anyone in 12 years for giving him the finger.
He also called it "unusual behavior," suggesting that Bombard was looking to get the attention of a trooper by giving off that "negative signal."
The two keep arguing about it with Bombard, at one point, asking what crime was committed if he had extended his middle finger. Riggen doesn't exactly say, leading Bombard to threaten to file a complaint against him.
Riggen eventually climbs back into his patrol car and follows Bombard's vehicle down the street, while still steaming from their squabble.
Inside the patrol car, Riggen can be heard saying Bombard called him an "a**hole" and told him "f**k you" as he walked away. The trooper then turns on his lights and sirens, announcing that he's arresting Bombard for disorderly conduct.
The rest of the video goes down exactly as you might imagine with Bombard taken away in handcuffs and thrown in jail. But the charges were later dropped against Bombard and the case was closed.
In 2021, Bombard filed a civil suit against Riggen, claiming the trooper violated his First Amendment Rights when he was "interrogated, arrested and cited" for a crime. The lawsuit is still pending.

SAM ASGHARI TAKES SHOT AT BRIT IN PETA GIG?!! 'Some Loves Last' ...
Sam Asghari is focusing on love that lasts ... starring in a new PETA gig with a furry companion following his bitter split from Britney Spears earlier this year.
Months after the animal rights org branded his ex 'toxic' for buying a new pup, the fitness trainer is doing his part in hammering home the message of adopting, and not buying dogs.
Sam goes shirtless in one image ... cuddling up to a pooch, with the slogan: "You Can't Buy Love, But You Can Adopt It" -- another reading: "Some Love Lasts ... Never Buy Dogs, Always Spay or Neuter."
Dog lover Sam regularly shares IG content of his Doberman, Porsha -- which was initially a gift to Britney following their 2021 engagement -- though he got to keep her in the end.
Britney got to keep the couple's 4 other dogs ... and also brought a new pooch, Snow, 2 weeks after Sam filed for divorce on Aug 16.
PETA was horrified with her purchase, venting: "She could have been a force for good and adopted, but instead she chose to be toxic, and animals will pay with their lives."
Brit never retaliated against PETA's fury ... though Sam is clearly fur real with the new collab, plastering his new campaign everywhere on IG.

Sam Asghari ¿Dispara a Brit con su trabajo en PETA? Algunos amores perduran...
Sam Asghari se está enfocando en los amores que duran, protagonizando un nuevo anuncio de PETA con un compañero peludo después de su amarga separación de Britney Spears a principios de este año.
Meses después de que la organización de derechos de los animales tachara a su ex de "tóxica" por comprar un nuevo cachorro, el entrenador de fitness está haciendo su parte en machacar el mensaje de que es mejor adoptar en lugar de comprar perros.
Sam aparece sin camisa en una foto, abrazando a un perro con el lema: "No se puede comprar el amor, pero se puede adoptar". Otra lectura dice: "Hay amores que duran... Nunca compres perros, castra o esteriliza siempre".
Sam es un amante de los perros y regularmente comparte contenido en su Instagram de su Doberman, Porsha, que fue inicialmente un regalo para Britney después de su compromiso en 2021. Aunque al final se quedó con ella.
Britney se quedó con los otros cuatro perros de la pareja y también trajo uno nuevo, Snow, dos semanas después de que Sam solicitara el divorcio el 16 de agosto.
PETA se horrorizó con su compra, asegurando: "Ella podría haber sido una fuerza del bien y adoptar, pero en lugar de eso eligió ser tóxica y los animales pagarán con sus vidas".
Brit nunca tomó represalias contra la furia de PETA, aunque Sam claramente va en serio con la nueva colaboración, compartiendo su nueva campaña por todas partes de IG.

Fatal Marriage Proposal Man Arrested After GF Falls From Cliff ... Allegedly Rejected Him
A man in Turkey is in jail, accused of throwing his girlfriend to her death off a clifftop where he had just proposed to her ... and cops think she said, "no" before the fatal tumble.
Nizamettin Gursu has just been arrested in the death of his girlfriend, Yesim Demir, who reportedly fell 100 feet to her death in the Turkish city of Canakkale.
His arrest comes about 5 months after Yesim's fatal fall. Gursu originally told police his GF accepted his proposal, he left her at the edge of the cliff to grab food and drinks from his car and then heard her scream. He said he returned to find she had fallen over the ledge.
However, cops say their investigation now leads them to believe Yesim rejected the proposal, and a struggle ensued at the scenic picnic spot ... a struggle that ended with her going over the cliff to her death.
Police say Gursu still had the engagement ring in a box in his pocket ... and they also found a broken speaker and shattered glasses where the July 6 proposal went down.
What's more, cops say Yesim's family told them she had been planning to break up with Gursu before the proposal ... and they say she would have never gotten engaged to him.
The woman's family also told police she would not willingly stand at the edge of a cliff because she suffers from panic attacks.
Gursu remains in jail awaiting trial -- but, wow, if "Dateline" had a Turkish bureau they'd be all over this.

Big Sean Kendrick Never Dissed Me... I Would've Made A Song If He Did!!!

Exclusive

Big Sean has a new album coming in the new year ... which probably won't include some popular Gen-Z slang, or a fiery response to Kendrick Lamar.
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Sean Don out in Beverly Hills on Tuesday and the superstar rapper admits he hasn’t been on the scene in a while, but he'll soon enter go-mode in the studio.
For the album's content, we asked Sean if he'd be including “rizz” in his lyrics after the term won Oxford’s 2023 “Word of the Year” -- but, first, like most of us … he's gotta learn what the hell it means.
Rizz was just announced as Oxford’s word of the year. #FallonTonight pic.twitter.com/9zVrzZrHkt
— The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) December 5, 2023 @FallonTonight
The word -- meant to highlight one's sexiness -- confuses a lot of people but never fear, Sean came up with a few provocative lines to rhyme with the word. 😈
We also got his take on the apparently leaked Kendrick track from September that took shots at him, Jay Electronica and French Montana.
The song painted Sean as a B-list sneak disser …. "You're finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme boy/Cute ass raps, get your puberty up” … but Sean tells us he didn’t consider Kendrick’s bars a diss and they're still cool to this day.
Sean says if he did take offense to Kendrick's bars, the world would know, clearly implying he'd drop a nuclear reaction!!! Alas, we'll never know.

Detienen a un hombre por la muerte de su novia... ella cayó por un acantilado tras pedirle matrimonio
Un hombre de Turquía está en la cárcel, fue acusado de arrojar a su novia a la muerte desde lo alto de un acantilado donde acababa de proponerle matrimonio y la policía cree que ella dijo "no" antes de la caída fatal.
Nizamettin Gursu acaba de ser detenido por la muerte de su novia, Yesim Demir, que al parecer cayó desde 100 pies de altura en la ciudad turca de Canakkale.
Su detención se produce unos cinco meses después de la fatal caída de Yesim. En un principio, Gursu le declaró a la policía que su novia aceptó su proposición, la dejó al borde del acantilado para coger comida y bebida de su coche y la oyó gritar. Dijo que regresó para encontrar que ella había caído por la cornisa.
Sin embargo, los policías dicen que su investigación les lleva a creer que Yesim rechazó la propuesta y se produjo una lucha en el lugar de picnic, una lucha que terminó con ella cayendo por el precipicio a su muerte.
La policía dice que Gursu todavía tenía el anillo de compromiso en una caja en su bolsillo y también encontraron un altavoz roto y vasos rotos donde se hizo la propuesta del 6 de julio.
Es más, la policía dice que la familia de Yesim les dijo que había estado planeando romper con Gursu antes de la propuesta y dicen que nunca se habría comprometido con él.
La familia de la mujer también le dijo a la policía que ella no se pondría voluntariamente al borde de un acantilado porque sufre ataques de pánico.
Gursu sigue en la cárcel a la espera de juicio.
Jeannie Mai Niega que le esté prohibiendo a Jeezy ver a su hija ... Cita aprensiones de seguridad

Jeannie Mai está negando las afirmaciones de Jeezy que ella le está prohibiendo el acceso a su hija en medio de su divorcio, insistiendo en que solo está tratando de mantener a la niña a salvo, según muestran nuevos documentos judiciales.
La presentadora entregó una respuesta a la solicitud de Jeezy para una audiencia que permita resolver un horario temporal de custodia, y de acuerdo con la información obtenida por TMZ, ella dice que la acusación de que ella está interfiriendo en sus posibilidades de pasar tiempo con su hija de 1 año de edad, Monaco, es falsa.
Jeannie también dice que ha sido más que complaciente cuando se trata de Jeezy pidiéndole pasar tiempo con su hija. Dice que le ha dado todas las fechas que ha pedido e incluso un período prolongado durante las vacaciones de Navidad.
Jeannie dice que quiere al 100% que Jeezy participe en la vida de su hija, pero dice que la seguridad es su preocupación número 1, y en estos documentos, asegura que es completamente razonable que esto esté en su mente.
Los abogados de Jeannie escriben: "Es esencial aclarar que la insistencia de la Sra. Jenkins en que se pongan en práctica medidas de seguridad razonables, como asegurar y guardar bajo llave y de forma segura todas las armas de fuego que no han sido aseguradas en el pasado, así como tener familiaridad y cuidadores debidamente capacitados no es en absoluto un control de acceso, sino más bien un esfuerzo responsable para priorizar el bienestar de su hija".

Su equipo legal añade: "Estas solicitudes se basan en la genuina preocupación de la Sra. Jenkins por la seguridad y protección de la hija de las partes, especialmente cuando está bajo el cuidado de otros y viajando por todo el país, y son medidas de protección razonables, no un intento de restringir el acceso del Sr. Jenkins a su hija."
Casi al mismo tiempo, Jeannie presentó su respuesta a la petición de divorcio de Jeezy, dando a entender que él podría haberla engañado y que tendría consecuencias en virtud de su acuerdo prenupcial. Él, por su parte, también presentó nuevos documentos en los que alegó que Jeannie le impedía ver a Mónaco de forma constante.
Como hemos dicho, Jeannie dice que eso es mentira y en lugar de una audiencia sobre la custodia temporal, le está pidiendo al juez que los envíe a mediación para resolver esto por sí mismos, señalando que se siente que son fuertes candidatos para esa opción.
Jeezy y Jeannie solo tienen una hija en común, a la que dieron la bienvenida a principios de 2022.
Jeannie Mai Denies Gatekeeping Daughter from Jeezy ... Cites Safety Concerns Over Firearms

Jeannie Mai is denying Jeezy's claim that she's gatekeeping their daughter from him amid their divorce -- insisting she's just trying to keep the kid safe ... this per new court docs.
The talk show host submitted a response to Jeezy's request for a hearing to figure out a temporary custody schedule in their ongoing divorce case, and according to her latest filing -- obtained by TMZ -- she says his accusation that she's interfering with his ability to spend time with their 1-year-old Monaco is false.
Jeannie also says she's been more than accommodating when it comes to Jeezy asking for time with their daughter ... giving him all the dates he's asked for, and giving him an extended period of time with her over the Christmas holiday.
Jeannie says she 100% wants Jeezy to be involved in their daughter's life -- but says safety is her #1 concern ... and in these docs, she claims it's completely reasonable for safety to be on her mind.
Jeannie's attorneys write ... "It is essential to clarify that Ms. Jenkins’ insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place, such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past, as well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping, but rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter’s well-being."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Her legal team adds, "These requests are grounded in Ms. Jenkins’ genuine concern for the parties’ daughter’s safety and security, especially when under the care of others and traveling across the country, and are reasonable protective measures, not an attempt to restrict Mr. Jenkins’ access to their daughter."
Around the same time Jeannie filed her response to Jeezy's divorce petition -- when she seemed to imply he might've cheated, and that it would have consequences under their prenup -- he filed new docs himself ... in which he alleged she was keeping him from seeing Monaco on a consistent basis.
Like we said ... Jeannie's calling BS on that, and instead of a hearing on temporary custody -- she's asking the judge here to just send them to mediation to work this out themselves, noting she feels like they're strong candidates for that option.
Jeezy and Jeannie have just the one child together ... whom they welcomed in early 2022.

Kim & Kroy Slash Mansion Price by $500k ... We Gotta Sell, Sell, Sell!!!
-
Exclusive
- 912 shares
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are desperate to unload their Georgia mansion to mitigate their money woes ... evidenced by the fact they just dropped their asking price by a serious chunk of change.
The on-and-off couple -- who are still in the middle of a divorce -- are now asking $5,500,000 for their Milton, GA estate ... after initially listing it for $6 mil in October.
Not the biggest slash in the world, but it is substantial ... and obviously, they hope the move will get someone to bite. Time will tell if it works -- fact is, the housing market is a bit sluggish right now, and interest rates are quite high.
The other thing to consider here, comparable houses in their immediate area -- in some cases, on the same street -- are going for considerably less money ... so they might need to go even lower than this.
Remember, Kroy was recently begging a judge to allow him to put the house up for sale as a way to deal with the mounting debt they find themselves in ... and it looks like he and Kim finally got on the same page, despite their ongoing back-and-forth feuding/making up.
Whether they end up sticking at $5.5M or dropping their price to a bit less, they'll still clean up compared to what they bought this crib for back in 2012 ... just $880,000 at the time.
At this point, ya figure they'll have to take what they can get ... but it seems like they're trying to maximize that. KZ and KB are deep in the red, and need every penny they can muster.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están desesperados por vender su mansión en Georgia para mitigar sus problemas financieros, lo que queda en evidencia al ver que acaban de bajar su precio de venta por un buen monto.
La pareja, que todavía está en medio de un divorcio, ahora está pidiendo $5,500,000 por su propiedad en Milton, Georgia. En octubre estaba listada en $6 millones.
No es el mayor recorte del mundo, pero es sustancial y obviamente esperan que el movimiento atraiga a algún comprador. El tiempo dirá si funciona, la verdad es que el mercado de viviendas está un poco lento en este momento y las tasas de interés bastante altas.
Otra cosa que hay que tener en cuenta es que las casas comparables de la zona, en algunos casos en la misma calle, se venden por muchísimo menos dinero, así que puede que tengan que bajar el precio aún más.
Recuerden, Kroy recientemente le rogó a un juez que le permitiera poner la casa a la venta como una manera de hacer frente a la creciente deuda que tienen, y parece que él y Kim finalmente están en la misma página, a pesar de sus continuas idas y venidas.
Ya sea que terminen rebajando en $550k o un poco más, aún así van a ganar bastante en comparación al precio de compra de 2012, de solo $880,000 en ese momento.
A esta altura, ya parece que tendrán que aceptar lo que puedan conseguir, pero parece que están tratando de maximizar la ganancia lo más posible. Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están en números rojos y necesitan cada centavo que puedan reunir.
Jonathan Majors Found Guilty In NYC Criminal Trial

update
1:30 PM PT -- Jonathan Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, tells us, "It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari's story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that."
Chaudhry continues, "We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him. Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months. Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name."
12:42 PM PT -- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tells TMZ, “At the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, we are committed to centering survivors in all of our work. The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day."
Bragg continues, "Today, a jury determined that pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend. We thank the jury for its service and the survivor for bravely telling her story despite having to relive her trauma on the stand."
Jonathan Majors was just found guilty in his criminal trial -- after a jury decided the actor's fate following 3 days of deliberations.
The verdict came down Monday in NYC, and the actor was found guilty on one count of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment. Remember, he'd initially been slapped with 8 separate charges -- all pertaining to alleged assault and harassment -- but before things kicked off ... the D.A.'s office agreed to drop four of them in an effort to consolidate their complaint.
He was acquitted of two other charges ... one count of intentional assault and one count of aggravated harassment. Now, he faces a maximum sentence of up to a year behind bars.
The trial, which lasted about two weeks, had some standout moments right from the jump in opening statements -- when prosecutors alleged Majors had a history of violence in his relationships, and that the March incident in question was simply the latest example.
Prosecutors claim Majors and his accuser, Grace Jabbari, had gotten into an argument that night after she discovered some texts from another woman ... but asserted Majors was the one who escalated things by allegedly twisting her arm behind her back, and her finger as well. They also claimed he threw her back into the car they were in after she attempted to exit. In other words, they alleged he roughed her up ... and the 6-person jury agreed.
One critical piece of evidence presented in court involved surveillance video of the night in question ... showing a scuffle between Majors and Jabbari, plus a foot chase shortly thereafter ... with Majors bolting away from Jabbari, who runs after him for a few blocks.
Jabbari herself also took the stand as the key witness, and she backed the prosecution's case ... namely, that Majors had gotten physical with her that night, and it followed a pattern of controlling/manipulative behavior that, at times, teetered on violence.
She described other alleged instances of Majors losing his temper ... and delivered emotional testimony. On cross, though, Majors' defense team attempted to pick apart her story ... including asking her whether she was actually injured that night, despite security footage that showed her partying after the fact and looking seemingly unharmed/unbothered.
Major's 911 call the day he was arrested was also released ... he called after finding Jabbari passed out in his penthouse apartment and feared she may have attempted suicide.
Throughout the trial, Majors appeared alongside his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, who stood by him during the saga -- whose presence some thought would buy him goodwill.
The bigger question now, of course, is what happens to his career ... it was on the ropes even before the trial -- and now, it feels like he might start to be dropped en masse. It's a big blow ... Majors had already started playing Marvel's next big bad, and he was a rising star in Hollywood with Oscar aspirations too.
He'll be sentenced February 6.
