Jonathan Majors Makes Virtual Appearance For Assault Case Hearing; New Complaint Added To Charges

Jonathan Majors appeared via Zoom during a status update hearing about the assault charges that have been brought against him.

The 33-year-old Creed III actor was accused of assault at the end of March by a 30-year-old woman who was taken to the hospital with “minor injuries to her head and neck.”

Jonathan did not speak in length at the hearing, only provided confirmations to the judge when asked a question.

Now, in the new update about the charges, a new complaint has been added to the charges, while Jonathan‘s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, said the charges were a “witch hunt” against him.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the complaint was added to the current counts and charges, which has remained the same. The complaint details that the accuser has allegedly “experienced injury to her right arm and was pushed into a car by Majors, in addition to the previously reported laceration to her right ear and finger (the complaint no longer includes reports of bruising and injury to the neck).”

In a statement to People, Ms. Chaudhry says the victim is lying about the facts of the assault.

“Yet this false case continues, the woman’s claimed location shifts, and her story morphs,” the attorney said. “This is a witch hunt against Jonathan Majors, driven by baseless claims. Instead of dismissing the allegations in the face of the woman’s clear lies, the DA has adjusted the charges to match the woman’s new lies.”

She also added that she and her team have “obtained even more video evidence of his innocence, but we are hesitant to share it, for fear the DA will tip the woman off to change her story again.”

“This glaring double standard between the treatment of Jonathan Majors, a Black man weighing 200 lbs, and his accuser, highlights the racial bias that permeates the criminal justice system,” she concluded.

If convicted, Jonathan could spend up to a year in jail.
