When the news was released, a representative for Majors claimed the actor had "done nothing wrong" and that they were "[looking] forward to clearing his name and clearing this up." Today, his defense lawyer is claiming there's evidence proving the actor is innocent.

"Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows," criminal defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry said in a statement (via Variety). "We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently."

"All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever," Chaudhry added. "Unfortunately, this incident came about because this woman was having an emotional crisis, for which she was taken to a hospital yesterday. The NYPD is required to make an arrest in these situations, and this is the only reason Mr. Majors was arrested. We expect these charges to be dropped soon."

Chaudhry also claims there is video footage from the vehicle where the alleged incident occurred on Friday night in addition to witness testimony from the driver as well as onlookers. Chaudhry also said there are written statements from the woman recanting the allegations.

Might end up being bullshyt but his rep's definitely going to take a hit.

As far as offenders go, Disney had Robert Downey Jr. and Tim Allen become faces on big franchises under their wing and they even hired a child molester, Victor Salva, to direct one of their films (Powder) so I don't think an assault charge will amount to much when it comes to Jonathan Majors's job. We'll see, though.

RDJ was clean for years before he got the Ironman gig :gucci:

Was Tim Allen even acting when he caught that coke charge?

That's a world of difference to being charged while you're currently in the role. Especially with it being related to assaulting a female. They're gonna have feminists, spousal abuse groups, liberal women's rights allies and many more at their neck. If the charges are legit he's done. It's 2023....you ain't surviving something like this as a mainstream star.

Well, if people are still willing to go see a Flash movie with Ezra Miller or attend a Chris Brown concert, I think people will still probably be willing to go see an Avengers movie with Jonathan Majors. We'll see. Ya'll may be right, and this will be the end of his career as we know it. :yeshrug:
