Global News
Several women have now reportedly come forward with claims of abuse against actor Jonathan Majors, who was arrested in March.
Amid new reports of abuse accusations from several women, a lawyer for actor Jonathan Majors has denied all allegations of mistreatment on behalf of the Marvel star.
Following his arrest last month, Variety reported that several women have come forward with claims of abuse against Majors, 33. The outlet said the alleged victims are currently cooperating with the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
(Global News was unable to independently verify the validity of the new claims against Majors in the Variety report, which attributes knowledgeable, unnamed sources.)
“Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone. We have provided irrefutable evidence to the District Attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated,” Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, said on Wednesday.
Majors was arrested and arraigned in March on assault and harassment charges following an alleged domestic dispute between he and an unnamed 30-year-old woman. He was released from police custody on his own recognizance and granted a limited order of protection, as per CNN.
The complaint against Majors alleged the actor hit the unnamed victim around her face “with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear.” The report continues, claiming Majors also grabbed the victim’s neck and hand “causing bruising and substantial pain.”
Manhattan police on March 30 said the investigation was ongoing.
Earlier this week, Majors was dropped by both his public relations agency and his talent management company.
