The March complaint against Majors does not name the accuser, but claims he struck her “in the face with an open hand, causing considerable pain and a laceration behind the ear.”
He also claims that he “put his hand on her neck, causing bruising and considerable pain.”
“Mr. Majors completely denies assaulting the woman,” Chaudhry told CNN in a statement last month. “At around 11 a.m. on March 25, 2023, Jonathan Majors called 911 concerned about the woman’s mental health. Police arrived with paramedics, as is standard procedure, and arrested Mr. Majors due to an NYPD protocol that requires arrest in certain circumstances.”
Her attorney also provided CNN with screenshots of messages to Majors allegedly sent by the woman, writing that investigators “do not have my blessing to pursue charges.”
Majors recently starred in “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.” He is scheduled to star in the lead role in the upcoming Marvel movie, “Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.”
CNN has reached out to other representatives for Majors and Marvel for comment.
