After an excellent start to the year, the American interpreter was arrested at the end of March for an alleged assault on a woman. He pleads “completely innocent” but is due to appear before a judge early next month. Prior to this milestone, it became official that he had lost his manager and PR firm.
No other artist had such a strong start to 2023 in theaters as Jonathan Majors . In the space of two weeks, he created Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania And Creed IIIand won accolades with magazine dreamsa film that screened at Sundance and makes its theatrical debut for December 2023. So the acting promise of Gives 5 Blood And Lovecraft Country confirmed his credentials in key roles in some of the most anticipated productions of the year.
Until, all of a sudden, his name stops being tied to movie releases and becomes tied to serious accusations. On Saturday March 25, major US media reported that he was arrested in New York, for allegedly assaulting a woman . Reports said he was facing strangulation and harassment charges, and that the alleged victim was taken to hospital with “minor head and neck injuries”.
Ahead of his appearance before a judge early next month, it became official on Monday that he has parted ways with Entertainment 360, the company that served as his manager, over “issues relating to the personal behavior of the actor”.
The same publication states that he was removed from the public relations firm The Lede Company and that, by mutual agreement between the actor and Valentino, will ultimately not attend the Met Gala, scheduled for May 1 in New York .
On the 8th of this month, he must appear before a judge. He will be represented by Priya Chaudhrym, a lawyer who, after the indictment came to light, made a strong defense, saying her client “is completely innocent and is likely the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows”.
And he announced that they were gathering evidence so the charges could be dropped immediately. This would include “video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, testimony from the driver and others who saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman retracting these allegations.”
On March 30, Chaudhrym executed a maneuver with which he sought to favor Majors’ position: he shared screenshots of text messages on the TMZ portal in which the woman in the case allegedly recanted. In the communication, after the arrest of the interpreter, she expressed being “angry” that he was arrested and that the police did not rely on her “blessing” to press charges .
The actor has remained silent at all times, waiting for his legal situation to be resolved. Meanwhile, at Marvel “there have been no conversations” about a potential layoff. A critical point, given that the role of the actor (Kang) will play a key role in the second season of Loki (Disney+) and in future stories of the saga of superheroes.
