Jonathan Majors, who is set to star in Creed III, has hired a criminal defense attorney following his recent arrest. The actor was taken into custody on charges of assault, harassment, and strangulation over the weekend. While the incident occurred after an argument with his girlfriend, Majors and his representative have denied any wrongdoing. His lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, has stated that the charges against the actor should be dropped imminently.
In her statement, Chaudhry claimed that there is video footage and witness testimony to support her client’s innocence. She also revealed that the alleged victim had recanted her story and that Majors was the victim of an altercation with his girlfriend. According to Chaudhry, the woman was experiencing an emotional crisis and was taken to the hospital.
Chaudhry, who has previously represented Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah in her criminal fraud case, released a statement on behalf of Majors. The actor’s girlfriend had reported the incident to the police the following morning, alleging that Majors had caused a laceration behind her ear, as well as redness and marks on her face.
Despite the allegations against him, Majors’ representative stated that the actor “had done nothing wrong” and that they looked forward to clearing his name. The case is ongoing, and it remains to be seen whether the charges will be dropped following the evidence provided by Majors’ defense team.
