Jonathan Majors publishes messages from his alleged victim to prove his innocence: «It was not an attack».
In a surprising turn of events, a lawyer representing Jonathan Majors has released a series of text messages purportedly sent by the woman who accused him of assault. The messages, which have not been independently verified, suggest that the woman took responsibility for the altercation and appeared to exonerate Majors of any wrongdoing.
The woman expressed her anger at Majors’ arrest.
According to the messages, the woman wrote to Majors after the incident, stating that she had told authorities that the altercation was her fault for trying to take his phone. She also expressed anger at Majors’ arrest and made it clear that she did not support the charges against him.
The investigation into the matter is ongoing and that no further comment can be made.
In addition to claiming responsibility for the altercation, the woman reportedly wrote that she reiterated that the incident was not an assault. She also indicated that she had sustained injuries during the fight. Despite the release of these text messages, a representative for the Manhattan District Attorney has stated that the investigation into the matter is ongoing and that no further comment can be made at this time. It remains to be seen how this new development will affect the case against Jonathan Majors.
Arrested and charged with assault and harassment after domestic dispute
Jonathan Majors, an actor known for his roles in hit series such as «Lovecraft Country» and «The Underground Railroad,» has been arrested and charged with assault and harassment following a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old woman in Manhattan. According to authorities, the incident occurred over the weekend when police responded to a 911 call at an apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood.
Arrested without incident
Majors was taken into custody without incident, while the victim was transported to the hospital with minor head and neck injuries. Majors’ criminal defense attorney, Priya Chaudhry, issued a statement Thursday denying the assault allegations against her client. She alleges that it was actually Majors who called 911 and that police arrived with paramedics according to standard procedure.
NYPD protocol called for Majors’ arrest
Chaudhry also claims that NYPD protocol required Majors’ arrest under certain circumstances. Chaudhry further stated that the victim denied any allegations against Majors and confirmed that she had called 911 due to her mental state. It is unclear at this time how this new information will affect the ongoing investigation into the incident.
Lawyer says there is evidence to clear Majors of charges
According to the messages, which were redacted to protect the woman’s privacy, she wrote to Majors, «Please let me know you are okay when you receive this. I was assured you will not be charged.» She also took the blame for the fight, stating, «I told them it was my fault for trying to take your phone.» In a follow-up message, he reiterated that the incident had not been an assault and that no charges should be filed against Majors. Chaudhry previously claimed that there was evidence that cleared Majors of the charges.
