#Jonathan Majors Arrested for Alleged Assault, Rep Says Actor “Has Done Nothing Wrong”

Jonathan Majors was arrested on Saturday in New York City after police responded to a 911 call inside of an apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood, the NYPD said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

“A preliminary investigation determined that a 33-year-old male was involved in a domestic dispute with a 30-year-old female,” the DCPI statement said. “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.”

The actor was arrested on charges of strangulation, assault and harassment, according to the spokesperson. He is no longer in police custody, and his relationship with the woman is domestic.

A representative for Majors told THR, “He has done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”

Majors is one of the more in-demand actors working today. He has long-term plans with Marvel Studios to play Kang, the villain that is central to the studio’s upcoming plans and will lead to him headlining Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, dated for May 2, 2025. He recently appeared as Kang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and is rumored to appear in season two of Loki, expected out later this year.

Earlier this week, Focus Features set an awards season-friendly date for his Sundance drama Magazine Dreams, in which he plays a bodybuilder. His previous credits include the HBO drama Lovecraft Country, western The Harder They Fall and the Korean war aviation feature Devotion.
