Jonathan Majors, one of Hollywood’s hottest stars at the moment, was arrested Saturday night (May 25) in New York on assault and other charges in the wake of a reported domestic dispute. As news of the arrest went wide, many on social media came forth adding to the allegations of abuse and the like with onlookers rendered shocked by the arrest.
TMZ was among the first outlet to report on the arrest of Jonathan Majors, this after police responded to a 911 call around 11 AM local time in Manhattan. According to corresponding police reports, Majors was booked on strangulation, assault, and harassment charges.
TMZ obtained a quote from a rep for Majors, who denies that the actor was involved in any wrongdoing.
“He’s done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up,” the rep said.
The outlet, by way of sources, say that the woman who brought charges against Majors is his girlfriend. According to the source, the girlfriend saw another woman texting Majors and tried to look at his phone thus leading to him allegedly slapping her and putting his hands around her neck.
On Twitter, the reaction to Jonathan Majors and his arrest has been all over the place with some defending the 33-year-old star and others coming forth with their own stories of allegations.
Majors starred in two major motion pictures this year in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Creed III. As a result, Majors was seen as the newest “It” star but this current situation has many questioning their initial support.
We will update this post should further developments arise.

seeing the jonathan majors news and responding with:
— anna maría (@onlyannamaria) March 26, 2023
a) creed jokes
b) “i knew he was bad” (you don’t know him)
c) “omg he broke my heart & betrayed me” (you don’t know him)
d) “sounds like a lie”
e) concern for the MCU
is pretty demented/parasocial/inhumane in the wake of DV.

Just a reminder that YALL sent death threats to a black woman for simply posting a pic of Jonathan majors when he was skinny. And now he has assault allegations.

I seriously hope Jonathan Majors' victim is okay and has a support system because the disregard she's going to get from people that care more about their crush on him or his celebrity is going to be horrific.

Jonathan Majors has been on a career high and is literally the next major villain in the most successful film franchise in history. If these reports are indeed true, Jonathan Majors has truly committed career suicide in record time pic.twitter.com/1YKWw8M7pE

There's a really great point to be made here about how we're immediately conditioned to give an opinion about the accused when really the first priority should be the person harned and how to help them (if you're within proximity to do so). I'm trying to break this habit myself. https://t.co/uITjuzLSu5
