The charges against Jonathan stem from an incident in March 2023 when he was arrested by the NYPD on allegations of misdemeanour assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment.
According to reports, his ex-girlfriend accused him of slapping her in the back of a taxi. However, Jonathan has consistently maintained his innocence.
