Last month actor Jonathan Majors was convicted on domestic violence charges in New York for assaulting his ex girlfriend Grace Jabbari [click here if you missed that].
The conviction just cost Majors another acting gig...
From Variety
Jonathan Majors has lost a buzzy upcoming film role after his recent assault conviction.
The actor will no longer be playing controversial basketball player Dennis Rodman in a film with the working title “48 Hours In Vegas,” Variety has confirmed. CNN first reported the news.
The film is set to document the true story of the Bulls’ power forward’s notorious trip to Las Vegas in the middle of the 1998 NBA finals.
Lionsgate is also no longer involved with the project, as the studio released it back to the producers to find a new partner. Phil Lord, Chris Miller and Aditya Sood will produce for Lord Miller, and Ari Lubet, Will Allegra and Rodman will executive produce. Jordan VanDina (Hulu’s “The Binge”) is set to write the screenplay.
Majors was convicted on Dec. 18 of two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault during a domestic dispute with his former partner, Grace Jabbari. He is set to be sentenced on Feb. 6 and faces up to a year in jail, but he could also be sentenced to a lesser punishment, like probation.
Sources close to Amazon say Majors is also no longer in discussions for the studio’s development project “Da Understudy,” which Spike Lee had been in early talks to direct.
Marvel Studios dropped Majors from future projects on the same day as the conviction.

It's over for him. I'm sorry to see it happen and I'll continue to support him, but it's over.
It ain't over til the fat lady sings. Why did they want to have this big brolic a z z ninja playing Rodman, anyway? Horrible casting.
Welp, time for him to do Tubi movies cuz his Hollyweird elite status has been revoked!
Kim Jong Un mad somewhere in China. He wanted to see this movie.
Dang.
7:26 AM, True that. He has no resemblance to him whatsoever.
10:09 they was just giving this clown roles and he messed it up because he felt protected so he thought he could continue to abuse ppl and get away with it. This last incident they couldn’t cover it up for him like they been doing so they said oh well you on your own and you too much of a liability and a problem.
He's just dropped. Periodt.
Poor , Poor Jonathan Was Confused, He Thought That White Was Right ~ Boy Did He Get The Wrong Woman... Otherwise, Known As The Eve Of Destruction For A Black Man With A Bright Future In Hollyweird... Call 50!!!
Jonathan had the right white woman. If you listen to the tapes you can hear that she's been putting up with and covering up his past abuse. The problem is that Jonathan is a nasty piece of work who finally got caught.
What being blackballed and whiteballed at the same time in Hollywierd looks like.
Aint heard somebody being called Brolic in a long time. That's an oldie but goodie right there.
Kim Jong Un is probably in Korea and he can still see the movie. They just gotta find another 7 foot, pierced up gender bending weirdo to play the role.
He was gonna executive produce this film and got kicked off.
