The trial for actor Jonathan Majors, who is facing misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault, has been postponed until September 6th. Majors appeared in person at the New York Criminal Court on the original trial date, accompanied by actress Megan Good, but the prosecution stated that they were not yet prepared for trial as they are still gathering evidence. Majors, dressed in a grey suit and carrying a Bible and a mug, did not speak during the proceedings except to respond to the judge.
The incident leading to Majors’ arrest occurred on March 25th in New York City, when police responded to a 911 call. A 30-year-old woman reported that she had been assaulted by Majors, resulting in minor injuries to her head and neck. Majors was released from police custody later that day. Majors’ defense lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, has claimed that her client called 911 out of concern for the woman’s mental health and alleges that the woman had assaulted Majors. Chaudhry has requested the District Attorney to file charges against the woman, although no charges have been filed against her at this time.
Chaudhry maintains Majors’ innocence and has been actively pursuing an expeditious trial date to accelerate the case’s resolution. However, a temporary order of protection for the woman involved was granted by a judge at the request of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. This order remains in effect. Since his arrest, Majors has made court appearances virtually in May and in person on June 20th, accompanied by actress Meagan Good.
Following the incident, Majors faced some professional setbacks. His management company, Entertainment 360, and public relations team, The Lede Company, dropped him in April. Additionally, the Army Enterprise Marketing Office paused a U.S. Army ad campaign featuring Majors. Despite these challenges, Majors recently appeared in the trailer for the second season of the popular TV series “Loki.” In the show, Majors portrays the Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror, and he also appeared in the film “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”
