Actor Jonathan Majors, facing domestic violence charges, is reportedly facing more trouble as multiple alleged abuse victims have come forward and are cooperating with the Manhattan district attorney’s office. This development could significantly impact the case and comes as Majors’ publicists and management firm have severed ties with him amid the controversy. Majors is scheduled to appear in court on May 8.
Actor Jonathan Majors, known for his role in “Creed III,” was arrested in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood on March 25 on charges of assault, harassment, and strangulation. The NYPD reported that a 30-year-old woman had reported being assaulted by Majors, causing minor injuries to her head and neck.

Majors’ attorney, Chaudhry, immediately responded, claiming that the actor was the victim of an altercation with a woman he knew, suggesting she was experiencing an emotional crisis. A source claims the statement was released while Majors was still in custody.
Andrew Bourke, the husband of Chaudhry, is currently serving as Majors’ crisis publicist, and he’s standing firm on the victim narrative. Majors, who was on the rise as a promising Hollywood star with several lucrative roles lined up, including playing the titular Kang in the upcoming “Avengers:
The Kang Dynasty” and “Avengers: Secret Wars,” is still attached to both films, with a $20 million payday, including back-end compensation. Despite the ongoing controversy, Disney is taking a cautious approach, keeping an eye on the situation and making any necessary decisions with time on their side.
