Hollywood breakout star Jonathan Majors was arrested in New York, US, for allegedly assaulting a woman, a devastating charge his reps vehemently deny.
UPDATE: Previously, we reported that Jonathan Majors was arrested at approximately 11:00 on Sunday, 26 March 2023. In a statement released by his lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, it was confirmed that, in fact, the Hollywood star was released from custody without bail on the evening of Saturday, 25 March 2023.
In fact, according to Chaudhry, the judge threw the matter out of court when evidence, including video footage, witness testimonies from the driver and other eyewitnesses, contradicted the woman’s statement to police, where she claimed she was allegedly strangled, assaulted and harrassed by the ‘Creed’ star.
“This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations.
“All the evidence proves that Mr Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever,” Chaudhry revealed.
Majors has yet to issue a statement addressing the scandal.
UPDATE: As news about Jonathan Majors arrest unravels, more people have come forward with shocking claims about the actor’s past.
One Twitter user, ‘Tim Nicolai’ categorically blasted Majors as an “abuser and sociopath.” According to Nicolai, “folks at Yale and the broader NYC community have known about him for years.”
“I’m already seeing a bunch of ‘why didn’t you do anything?!’ Folks, people have tried. Ultimately needed a victim to come forward. It’s both simultaneously awful to know he is still doing this and also a relief that he may never get to again,” Nicolai tweeted.
More shocking, the Twitter user, who has since locked his account due to abuse from Majors’ hardcore fans, added that there are more victims “he has directly harmed.”
“A bunch of us are close with people (and sometimes multiple people) he has directly harmed. I don’t know if they will speak on it. It is completely their decision,:” the user wrote.
Of course, at this juncture, with Majors yet to release a formal statement addressing the charges, news of his alleged history of abuse remains unverified.

Did Jonathan Majors assault a woman?
In an explosive TMZ report, Marvel‘s ‘Kang the Conqueror’ was sent to the slammer on strangulation, assault and harassment charges.
According to reports, New York police responded to a distress call in the affluent Chelsea, Manhattan, at approximately 11:00 on Saturday, 25 March 2023, where a woman claimed she was attacked by the actor.
Sources close to the situation revealed that the woman, whose identity remains unknown at this time, was observed by medics and shockingly, several lacerations were found behind her ear and parts of her face.
Details on the cause of the alleged scuffle between Majors and the woman are still sketchy. However, insiders with information on the victim’s side of the story believe the altercation may have stemmed from jealousy.
From what we understand, Majors and the woman are said to be romantic partners and things allegedly went awry when the couple got into an argument on the way home from a bar in Brooklyn, in the wee hours of Saturday morning.
According to sources, the Creed actor allegedly lost his cool and attacked his girlfriend after she questioned him about texts he had allegedly exchanged with another woman.
Majors’ reps, however, claim the woman’s wild accusations are far from the actual truth.
“He’s done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up,” the rep told TMZ.
It’s believed Majors was still in police custody when this article was published.
