On Sunday, Hollywood star Jonathan Majors got arrested in New York on charges of strangulation, assault, and harassment, authorities said. The attorney for Majors has now said there's evidence proving that the actor is 'entirely innocent.'
New York City police said that Majors, the star of the recently released Creed III and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman. Police responded around 11 am on Saturday to a 911 call inside an apartment in the Manhattan neighbourhood of Chelsea.
"The victim informed police she was assaulted," a spokesperson for the NYPD said in a statement. A representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing by the actor. He has done nothing wrong," the representative said in an email to the AP on Saturday. "We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up."
On Sunday, an attorney for Majors, Priya Chaudhry, came out more forcefully, saying Majors "is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows" and blamed the incident on the woman having "an emotional crisis."
Chaudhry said there is evidence clearing Majors, including "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."
An email seeking additional comment from the NYPD based on Chaudhry's assertions was not immediately returned Sunday. In the meantime, the US Army suspended its TV ad campaign featuring Majors. The Army Enterprise Marketing Office said in a statement Sunday that the US Army is 'deeply concerned by the allegations surrounding his arrest.'
"While Mr. Majors is innocent until proven guilty, prudence dictates that we pull our ads until the investigation into these allegations is complete," the office said in a statement.
Majors is one of the fastest-rising stars in Hollywood. After breaking through in 2019's The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Majors has starred in Da 5 Bloods, The Harder They Fall, and last year's Devotion. He also stars in the recent Sundance Film Festival entry Magazine Dreams, which Searchlight Pictures is to release in December. (With inputs from PTI)
