Since his arrest in March 2023 for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, Jonathan Majors has struggled to regain his footing in the public eye. He often faces side eyes or even indifference wherever he goes.
A recent incident has sparked considerable buzz. On July 10, Majors attended the Hidden Empire Sports Power Players event with his girlfriend, Meagan Good, where they met with various entertainment figures.
Among them was Michael Ealy, Good’s co-star from “Think Like a Man.” He became the center of attention after a video posted by NitecastMedia, which showed him greeting everyone at the event—except for Majors, who was just a few steps away.
Michael Ealy and Jonathan Majors’ incident clarified
Since the video was posted, Jonathan Majors has once again become a hot topic. According to Entertainment Weekly, the footage quickly amassed over 250,000 likes and nearly 20 million views. Meagan Good even shared her thoughts in the comments section:

“So we’re just gonna edit out the first part of the video where Jonathan and Micheal exchange a big hug first and then speak life over each other — “before” he gives me a big brother hug?” She wrote. “Lol smh super unfortunate how people don’t have anything better to do than project on others and intentionally perpetuate negative misguided commentary on life snippets they have no real context to. It’s sad. Sigh. But still, God bless yall.”
It’s clear that Good has chosen to support Majors through thick and thin. In light of her recent Prime Video project, “Tyler Perrys’ Divorce in the Black,” she has been asked multiple times about her current relationship status. She expressed her happiness by his side and even hinted at potential marriage and family plans.
Good’s observations regarding the Majors-Ealy incident are not biased. In the initial moments of the video, it’s evident that Majors is finishing a hug with Ealy, then greeting the rest of the stars near him.
However, many users have noted that Majors displays signs of discomfort during the interaction. This unease might not stem from any personal conflict with Ealy but rather from the intense public scrutiny he faces following his recent controversies.
