Jonathan Majors, known for his roles in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “Creed III,” was recently arrested in New York on charges of strangulation, assault, and harassment. According to a complaint from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, Majors was accused of striking a 30-year-old woman “about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear.” He was also alleged to have grabbed her hand, causing swelling, bruising, and substantial pain to her finger, and put his hand on her neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the arrest, Jonathan Majors’ attorney released text messages allegedly sent by the woman he is accused of assaulting. In a screenshot provided to TMZ, the woman identifies Majors as her “partner” and tells him that officers “had to” arrest him according to protocol because they “saw the injuries” on her and knew they “had a fight.” The woman allegedly sent the texts immediately after she got out of the hospital.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

However, in the unverified text messages publicized by Majors’ attorney, the woman says she told the police the incident was her “fault” for “trying to grab” Majors’ phone. In a follow-up text, she says she told the authorities “this was not an attack” and that strangulation “did not occur and should be removed” from the case file “immediately.” The screenshots show that the woman allegedly texted Majors she would “make sure nothing happens about this” and that she knows he has “the best team and there’s nothing to worry about.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majors’ attorney claimed in a statement provided to the Los Angeles Times that her client “is completely innocent and provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.” The attorney also released a statement in which she alleged that the woman assaulted Majors and he was defending himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD said in a statement over the weekend that Majors was involved in a “domestic dispute” with the woman who told police she was assaulted. She was transported to a local hospital with what police called minor injuries to her head and neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that the text messages released by Majors’ attorney have not been verified, and the case is still ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
