The Sincerity of Meagan Good and Jonathan Majors’ Relationship Questioned After Social Media Calls Their Recent Courthouse Video ‘Fake’

Although Jonathan Majors is currently on trial for misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, some fans seem to only care about the sincerity of his romantic relationship with actress Meagan Good

Majors’ trial began on Wednesday, Nov. 29, and footage showing him and Good walking hand-in-hand has made waves online.

In a recent video, which was shared via X on Thursday, Nov. 30, both A-list actors could be seen exiting a New York City courthouse. The “Harlem” star was trying to put on her brown trench coat, and, despite the seriousness surrounding Majors’ current circumstances, she was smiling. 

After seeing his rumored girlfriend struggling with her coat, Majors walked over to the actress in an attempt to help her out. By the time he made his way to Good a woman standing beside her already had helped with the coat.

Although Majors, 34, didn’t stroll over fast enough to help Good out with her stylish garment, he managed to lift her Bohemian twists over her long trench, to which Good responded, “Thank you.” 

The 22-second video instantly did numbers online and prompted a user to point out Majors failing to fix Good’s bun. One person wrote, “He’s so new to dating Black women that he left that braid sticking out of her bun omg.”

Per the clip, the 42-year-old’s hair was styled in a half-up/half-down bun with a few strands poking out. It is unclear if the strands were intentionally placed that way, but most users voiced their belief in the look being accidental. 

Another handler replied to the above tweet stating, “That’s what I was thinking, like fix her bun too.” 

While plenty of social media users seemed to be deeply invested in Good’s hair, a few commenters appeared to be more focused on how genuine the relationship is. 

One handler wrote, “Was this fake and planned because…it seems so fake and planned lol she didn’t struggle with her hair/coat until the cameras were visible and conveniently stopped there.”

There were a few additional comments that included, “TWO things: 1) their relationship looks so HALLMARK holiday Xmas movie FAKE 2) something about how he looked in the camera,” and “Every time Megan goes back and looks at their footage I know that voice in her head tells her we ain’t buying this s–t.” 

As previously reported, Good and the “Creed III” actor blindsided social media users back in May after TMZ exclusively broke the news stating that they were an item. 

This surprising pairing came right behind Majors’ arrest in New York City after his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, accused him of assaulting her inside of a taxi cab. While Majors has maintained his innocence, he’s lost major work throughout this ongoing process. 

As for Good, this newfound relationship followed after her nine-year marriage with Pastor DeVon Franklin ended. The once-beloved couple announced their split by sharing a joint statement to People magazine in 2021. In their message, they shared that “no one” was “at fault.” By 2022, their divorce was finalized.

Since their split, many online observers claimed that Franklin was holding Good back, suggesting that she glowed up once she became single again. She’s even updated her Instagram bio to “Ms. Good ~ If Ya Nasty,” referencing Janet Jackson’s 1986 hit song “Nasty.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
