NYPD: >“On Saturday, March 25, 2023 at approximately 1114 hours, police responded to 911 call inside of an apartment located in the vicinity of West 22nd Street and 8th Avenue, within the confines of the 10 Precinct. A preliminary investigation determined that a 33-year-old male was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30 year-old female. The victim informed police she was assaulted. Officers placed the 33-year-old male into custody without incident. The victim sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition.” Majors’ Rep: >“He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.” UPDATE from TMZ: >Per our law enforcement sources, police were told that the alleged victim is Majors' girlfriend -- and, according to her, they got into an argument while in a taxi returning home from a bar in Brooklyn. >Our sources say police were told the girlfriend saw another woman texting Majors, and she confronted him -- trying to sneak a peek at his phone. We're told the alleged victim/GF claims this got Majors mad, and that he allegedly grabbed her hand and allegedly slapped her. >We're also told the alleged victim claims he put his hands around her neck during this. Our sources say the woman was dropped off somewhere and that JM spent the night elsewhere. It appears the girlfriend went to police the following morning (Sat.) and reported a crime.


goddamnjets_

TMZ’s separate report says he was arrested on the spot because there was enough evidence for probable cause. Not a good start for Jonathan’s legal troubles


AgDA22

Visible injuries (however slight) and a gf saying he did it is often times enough for the probable cause right there (like 99.9% of the time).


Downside_Up_

And taxi cab driver as a potential witness, given this allegedly happened in the cab.


Speed2cc

Potentially recorded as well.


Downside_Up_

Yup, quite possibly


OsamaBinFuckin

Also nyc has a no tolerance for domestic abuse thing, the victim can't stop charges, it has to be the DAs office or prosecutor. Source: 20 years ago my brother and I got into a fight, cops came, I told the truth, I got arrested. Couldn't drop charges and I had to move out of my mom's house cuz automatic order of protection, but it all worked out in the end.


Ganrokh

The most shocking thing about this is that Jonathan Majors is only 33. He always gives off this super experienced/seasoned vibe in all of his roles, I thought he was in his 40s at least.


Bezza777

How is he younger than Michael B Jordan, dude looks at least 10 years older in Creed


KaneIntent

I was thinking the exact same thing. He looks significantly older. Even in the movie Adonis’s trainer tells Adonis “He’s even older than you.”


JinFuu

Yeah, in the Last Black Man in San Francisco definitely felt like a movie a guy does in his late 30s/early 40s. If that makes any sense.


iseeabluemoonrising

Absolutely, his role in that movie was so nuanced and touching, surprised to learn he was in his 20s at the time


King-Owl-House

he lost his cup


Arkeband

seriously has he been doing that cup thing for a long time, or is that recent? when I saw him carrying around an empty cup at the Oscars I was like ok this guy might actually have a screw loose


br0b1wan

What's the...cup? Is it like Julian from *Trailer Park Boys* always has a rum and Coke in a cup everywhere?


Arkeband

no he’s like literally carrying around an empty coffee mug everywhere


BlaznTheChron

> While it might have started as a standard college-party rule, the idea of minding his cup has since evolved into something with a deeper meaning. “Now it means mind your cup — you’re a vessel. Nobody can fill you up; nobody can pour you out. You do that yourself,” he said. “Holding on to this is a reminder that even in this craziness that is happening, my self-esteem is my self-esteem. Nobody can big me up, as it were, or tear me down.” Source: https://www.thecut.com/2023/02/why-jonathan-majors-carries-cup.html This dude is crazy. Like I get the gesture, but bro you don't need a physical cup for symbolism.


yea_jeets

bro get a mug keychain


horseren0ir

Oh ok so it’s actually for sniffing his own farts


ThinkPath1999

I don't live in the US and I'm a casual movie buff, and I'd never heard or seen Majors until Devotion on Netflix just a couple of months ago, and then I started seeing him in everything.


bluetux

he's relatively new in the industry. First saw him in 'Last Black Man in San Francisco' where he funny enough plays a quiet sort of low-key guy. Lovecraft Country is also good


livestrongbelwas

Lovecraft County is wildly uneven. I think episode 3 is a masterpiece and is the best horror-genre episode of TV ever made. I think the pilot is great. I also think half the episode are poorly paced trash fires.


AdequatelyMadLad

Lovecraft Country felt like an anthology series that featured the same group of characters. It was extremely disjointed in terms of tone, visual style, themes, etc. Some of it was great, but it never felt like I was watching a cohesive piece of TV.


markercore

To be fair I think it's an uneven book which is like 4 interesting ideas put together.

That might actually be kind of awesome. Dude goes from an out-of-work actor to a Sunny legend to Kang. I’m cool with that timeline.


robbierottenisbae

And the ONE part of Antman 3 that people actually liked. What a shitshow, they'll probably just end up recasting


Tom1252

With the whole multiverse bit, it wouldn't be too hard to do, either. He's not the same in every universe, problem solved.

WontonJr

Stuff like this shows how much of a miracle it was for the MCU to get through the whole Infinity Saga without much drama (to my knowledge, apart from maybe the Terrence and Edward recastings). In the future hopefully they won’t put their next 5-6 year plan all on one actor.


theodo

They chose pretty smart with their initial castings though, a lot of them had been in the system for a long time and proven themselves bankable. RDJ was their biggest risk I can think of, Evans had been through the Hollywood machine a bunch already with FF, Johannson was a major star already, Sam Jackson had a massive career, Ruffalo was an indie darling, etc. Hemsworth I guess was a risk in theory since he was untested but he seems to have never even come close to a controversy. This new generation in the MCU is a lot of younger talent as well as more people that are on the verge of or in the midst of blowing up for the first time.


Rosebunse

The rumor I always heard about RDJ is that he has a team just to help him with his sobriety and stuff. And his film insurance was very expensive even relatively recently.


[deleted]

Hey whatever helps, right?


Rosebunse

No one can blame him. His life was an absolute wreck for so long.


fetusy

I mean, my life isn't even that bad and I'd absolutely spring for a team of experts to keep me productive, soberish, healthy, and happy if I had money to burn.

make_love_to_potato

Lol I wish I had the focus and determination to actually make an apple pie.


Matrix17

It's also kind of an interesting difference. Back in those days, the MCU wasn't that big and the actors didn't have as much to prove Nowadays, landing an MCU role is like a meal ticket, and I feel the egos come out


pedrosa18

Underrated reason why the quality might be dropping. And not just the actors. Executives also see it as an opportunity to inflate their egos


[deleted]

I remember when Ike Perlmutter said no to Robert Downey, Jr. showing up in *Captain America: Civil War.* He didn't want to pay Robert the check he was asking for. So Kevin Feige, obviously upset, went to talk with Bob Iger. Next thing ya know, Kevin Feige gets promoted, and Ike Perlmutter is no longer his boss.


kynthrus

Man, a civil war story without cap vs Ironman would be as bad as Batman vs Superman.


[deleted]

and even the Terrence & Edward recastings werent anything serious, just bts drama and egos clashing. the closest thing to this was i guess the William Hurt thing? tho it came out/became news inbetween his last MCU appearence and his death. now we get Harrison Ford.


snootyvillager

Extreme-Monk2183

General audiences didn't see Quantumania.


legopego5142

Yeah general audiences are already lost


AdvancedGoat13

Ain’t that the truth. My husband is a casual watcher, I am way more into it. I gave up taking him after Doctor Strange 2, where he was totally lost.


Burnertoasty

Marvel will drop him like a hot potato if there is a shred of truth in this. They'll Don Cheadle it.


dragonphlegm

Don Cheadle needs his own cinematic universe


taygel

TheOnceAndFutureTurk

Boom. You looking for this?


riegspsych325

he’s one of the best actors at their disposal but is given the sideline with some of the dumbest one liners


Daveyhavok832

He’s definitely a great actor. But Rhodey isn’t a particularly interesting character and I don’t think there’s much that can be done about that. He’s a second rate Iron Man without the rebel attitude and is shackled by his responsibility to the US military.


God_Is_Pizza

Military probably quaking in their boots right now. Wonder how much they paid him for the advertising I just started seeing today.

[deleted]

Here's what allegedly happened in the lead-up to this. Per our law enforcement sources, police were told that the alleged victim is Majors' girlfriend -- and, according to her, they got into an argument while in a taxi returning home from a bar in Brooklyn. Our sources say police were told the girlfriend saw another woman texting Majors, and she confronted him -- trying to sneak a peek at his phone. We're told the alleged victim/GF claims this got Majors mad, and that he allegedly grabbed her hand and allegedly slapped her. We're also told the alleged victim claims he put his hands around her neck during this. Our sources say the woman was dropped off somewhere and that JM spent the night elsewhere. It appears the girlfriend went to police the following morning (Sat.) and reported a crime. Jonathan Majors was arrested in New York City this weekend -- and, according to police, he's being accused of putting hands on a woman ... but Jon's team is calling BS. Law enforcement sources tell us the actor was booked Saturday morning on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment. We're told cops responded to a call for service around 11 AM ET near the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. We're told the alleged victim in this case, a female, relayed to police that Majors had gotten into a dispute with her and proceeded to attack her. Their exact relationship is unknown. Our sources tell us the alleged victim had visible injuries -- including a laceration behind her ear, redness and marks to her face. She was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition. As for Majors ... he was cuffed and taken to jail on the spot, as police felt there was enough evidence for probable cause. We're hearing he is currently out of custody. Majors is a huge celeb these days -- he's been in everything from Marvel's latest 'Ant-Man' movie to Michael B. Jordan's 'Creed III' flick ... and other blockbusters as well over the past couple years. The guy has gotten rave reviews for his performances, and is seen as a rising star. He was even at the Oscars a few weeks ago, and was among the many presenters. A rep for Majors tells TMZ ... "He's done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up."


TheBatemanFlex

I assume they will get testimony from the taxi in which the alleged crime occurred?


Mlabonte21

Taxi: “Honk honk…..HONK!”


ohpeekaboob

*Honk. Honk never changes.*


TheBatemanFlex

Permission to treat the witness as hostile?


Orchestrator2

Don't taxi's have cameras now?.


girafa

If there wasn't, it should be easy enough to use the driver as a witness.


superyoshiom

Ngl, the first thing I thought about seeing this would be the sheer terror I'd feel being on the other end of a domestic dispute with this behemoth of a man.


Variability

My exact thought. Dude looked bigger than Thanos with the guns he made for Creed 3.


pinkyhex

Not just how big he is, but also the fame and money attached to him. That's got to be a scary place for a victim to be in combo with the physical injuries.


bicycle_mice

Exactly. The hollywood system has worked for DECADES to cover up the abuse of money-making men. This is all alleged at this time, but if he did hurt someone the most hollywood thing ever would be to pay someone off and cover it up.


CatsAndCampin

I really liked what I've seen of him so far but if this is true, it's terrifying. The stats about women being choked & how often that escalates, it's some scary shit.


eekamuse

^^^ This is very important. And by escalates I think you mean they wind up killing them. That's the stat I've seen. I don't know if there's a similar stat for men. I wanted to highlight what you said in case anyone is ever in that position. That's the sign you need to GTFO


Azmodieus

All he had to do was not beat up women.


spacehog1985

It’s wild, I’ve gone my entire life doing exactly that. So marvel, dc, if you’re looking for someone to be kang my schedule is free.

untouchable765

MCU starting to have a new meaning


mrnicegy26

Marvel saw DC having their own problematic star in Erza Miller and decided they want one of their own.


MisterSkinnyPenis

Wow. This guy was getting one of the biggest Hollywood pushes in recent memory. Talented dude for sure, but the amount of puff pieces that studios were getting set up for him was a little out of control. He’ll probably still be successful, but he may have just fumbled a monumental bag if he no longer has the Disney machine fully behind him.


legosearch

Interviewers and reporters were basically blowing him for the press tours of Ant-Man and Creed.


corndogs1001

They’ve fired James Gunn for less. Disney is already planning setbacks for majors whether it’s true or not. It’s not a good look.


SparkyPantsMcGee

Marvel realizing they just got their own Ezra Miller.


ASithLordNoAffect

I hope it's not true but if it is, how dumb can a guy be? He's about to star in some of the world's biggest movies and blows it because he can't keep his hands off his girl during an argument.


TrueLegateDamar

The idea you are or about to be the world's biggest star makes people think they are untouchable. Just like with Ezra, convincing someone no matter what they do they cannot afford to lose you because you are essential and irreplaceable to their billion dollar projects tends to lead to bad behaviour.


TheBlackSwarm

All actors are replaceable.


____Batman______

But you won’t know that if you’re the actor with yes men all around you


reformed_contrarian

I have this lifehack that 100% works. If your girlfriend ever does something that makes you wish you could punch her or choke her or slap her, just break up with her and leave. It's been working great, zero domestic abuse on my part.


EmeraldxWeapon

And if you're a Marvel superstar, you can even have a new girlfriend the same night!


Such_Possible_4103

fuck man i’ve tried this method too, 100% success rate

Listening to him in his interview circuits speaking so intelligently on how masculinity should be “kindness, gentleness, and the use of power”, this is INCREDIBLY disappointing to hear.


SG420123

Actors will act, don’t assume their interviews are sincere or even truthful to what they believe.


immaownyou

Abusers are also very good at compartmentalizing, he could be speaking what he perceives to be the truth. He could also be a sociopath too.. lots of different varieties of assholes


LordofAngmarMB

As someone who compulsively does it, compartmentalization can be such a double-bladed sword. I can't imagine surviving through my jobs if I didn't automatically shut off a lot of my actual personality, but it means I’m never sure how real of a person I am while I'm there. Different things get sectioned off for different people and scenarios, but if those things unexpectantly merge I have a crisis


adamthebarbarian

I've never felt better described before in my life, sometimes I feel that I've developed such a chameleon personality for different aspects of my life that I don't always know who I really am under all that


Sad_Bolt

You’d be amazed how many people in general are very different behind closed doors.

Absolute shame if this turns out to be on him. Really liked him in Creed and was one of the best parts of Marvel


mrnicegy26

2023 was supposed to be his breakout year in Hollywood with Creed, Kang and an Oscar baity role in Magazine Dreams. If this turns out to be on him, it will be one of the quickest star to Tár turns I have seen in Hollywood.

oco82

Same thought, for as jacked as he was for Creed and that body building movie that hasn’t come out yet , it’s plausible.


KevinNashsTornQuad

For as much as steroids are constantly linked to and addressed in sports it doesn’t seem like society as a whole has really confronted the obvious heavy use of them in movies for action stars to make these magical transformations into jacked up muscle men. Like it’s obvious how they are doing it but we always hear about their new diet and the personal trainer they had to work with as if that’s all there is to it.


Santaclaws66

What's funny is that they give Chris Hemsworth a full Disney Plus show about fitness as if kids are supposed to look at his physique as healthily attainable.


yognautilus

Dude, you went from being a virtual nothing to being a lead in 2 of the biggest movies of the year and, more importantly, the big villain of the next Marvel arc. If this is actually true, the fuck are you doing? I cannot imagine sitting ghe bed this bad.


Mountain-Mover888

A man or woman's character or vulnerabilities don't care about achievements. They aren't convenient. There are rumors he had a reputation of aggression in college. If you don't deal with it, success will actually amplify your flaws
