Also an idiotic & disingenuous wording to say "one victim" instead of the more accurate "one accuser." didn't she come in with bruises and lacerations all over her face and neck? I wouldn't waste my time on him.

Again, neither defending Majors nor speaking about his case specifically. The post I replied to was speaking in general terms, and so was I. Generally speaking, saying that "one accuser" is enough is beyond idiotic, and using the wording of "victim" instead of "accuser" is beyond disingenuous. Obviously, a Rihanna/Chris Brown scenario is a different story.

"Looks like it's going to court"Oh damn - hope it doesn't negatively effect his 2023 BA nod .......on the other hand it does open up space for dark horses Matt Damon and Jamie Foxx....... Best. Worst. Takes. Ever.

Well, this case is incredibly bizarre, and I still suspect the DA is throwing the kitchen sink to push it to trial because of his celebrity, not because they're convinced they'll win the case. Doesn't help that he's basically accused the New York Police and Judiciary of racism and corruption in pursuing this case and withholding evidence. The sheer amount of resources and taxpayer money being used to investigate and prosecute a he said/she said misdesmeanour seems odd. Especially when you consider the latest news below.
Majors' ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari has just been arrested and charged with domestic assault on Majors. The wild thing is the DA already informed the NYPD that they wouldn't prosecute Jabarri last month. But the NYPD arrested and charged her anyway.

If the DA won't prosecute, her arrest means nothing. I have to disagree. Jabarri is getting a quid pro quo deal from the DA, because Majors is the big fish celebrity and they need her to prosecute him. It's called cutting a deal, and has no bearing on her innocence or guilt. His lawyers can credibly make that argument now, so her arrest very much matters in the context of his defense. They prosecute her, the case against Majors is dead. And that makes the DA's office look like a joke. It's incredibly telling that the NYPD still felt that she should be arrrsted and charged, even when they knew the DA would decline to prosecute. Everyone is trying to cover their ass in this case. The police, the DA, Majors/his lawyers, Jabarri etc. So it's hard to know what's what. We'll find out at the trial I guess. But my opinion is that this feeis like is such a ridiculously unsafe case for the DA to go after with this level of fervour, imho. It feels like clout chasing to the extreme

"Majors faces misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault after being arrested following the alleged domestic violence incident on March 25."
Ngl - is this all he faces? Wouldn't the better play here been to just play nice and not fight so hard - even providing that tape - which apparently was lawyers being dicks towards her - and misleading in how they tried to control it in the press?
I'm not saying don't stick up for yourself but - 2 misdemeanor counts - couldn't be smoothed over with counselng and something concillatory? I don't really get it.......play the long game with your career ffs......

Possible Oscar nominee (that's a joke, btw ) Jonathan Majors has some London charges maybe...looming....possibly........ Police in London have confirmed to Rolling Stone there is an ongoing investigation into a report of “physical assaults” leveled against Jonathan Majors amid his domestic violence case.
The 34-year-old is facing criminal charges in New York after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend in March. The matter is heading to trial on November 29, where Majors faces up to a year in jail if convicted on misdemeanor charges of assault, attempted assault, and aggravated harassment. Majors has vehemently denied the accusation.
Last week, the District Attorney’s office filed a 115-page response to Majors’ legal team’s bid to dismiss the case, in which prosecutors disclosed they had obtained a police report prepared by London’s Metropolitan Police that they deemed relevant to their case. Prosecutors noted they had also obtained medical records stemming from a previously unreported incident from September 2022.
Now, Met Police has confirmed to Rolling Stone that there is an ongoing investigation into the police report, which refers to allegations of “physical assaults” that were said to have taken place at a London-area address in September 2022. “Enquiries are ongoing; no arrests have been made,” a Met Police spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday. (Per policy, authorities in London do not confirm names of those involved in an investigation. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson declined to comment on any case until a person is charged with an offense.)www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/jonathan-majors-london-police-physical-assaults-1234863328/

theplaylist.net/marvel-studios-reportedly-moving-away-from-kang-storyline-going-in-another-direction-20231115/ In a recent episode of the House of R podcast, co-host Joanna Robinson (one of the authors of the book, “MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios”) talked a bit about some information she has acquired indicating Marvel Studios’ plan to change course and dump the big bad, Kang the Conqueror. This would lead to a massive change in the direction of the upcoming Phases of the MCU, as Kang, played by Jonathan Majors, was seemingly set up to be the new Thanos. Well, that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer, as Robinson claims the proposed ‘Kang Dynasty’ film is being scrapped.
Here’s the quote from Robinson, who explained that she has confirmation about Marvel moving away from Kang in the future MCU films:
“I heard from someone recently…the screenwriter Jeff Loveness, who wrote ‘Quantumania,’ was supposed to write ‘The Kang Dynasty’…anyway, it’s confirmed. I had it confirmed to me he’s no longer working for Marvel. I asked the person why, and they said the reason why is he was all wrapped up in this Kang storyline and they are likely going to be moving away from that.”

Wouldn't it be easier to just recast him?

Wouldn't it be easier to just recast him? I would think so. If this is true (and I’m taking it with a major grain of salt) I’m guessing it’s less about Majors and more about a general creative overhaul.

Yes, but unless they're skipping the new Avengers movies entirely, hard to imagine which character they could put in Kang's place, and without any build up

I’m seeing a lot of people online asking the question “Why not just recast?” and I’m wondering if there’s a contractual thing that’s preventing that from happening and maybe they don’t want Majors to sue if they go that route. Seems like too much of a no-brainer decision to NOT make otherwise.

Wouldn't it be easier to just recast him? Might've gotten a "pay or play" deal with the part of Kang. Combine that with the critical and commercial flops of late, Marvel may see going a different route as a way to save money on getting rid of Majors and potentially course correct at the same time.

I doubt Marvel doesn't have a good behavior clause, they got rid of Terrence Howard and Edward Norton for much less.

Shouldn't laugh, as this is a serious matter, but this just released video of Jonathan Majors running away from his ex-girlfriend as she chases him across the streets of Manhattan is hilarious . The woman is after him like she's Michael Myers or something and Majors is moving like he's Usain Bolt to escape her . Still trying to figure out how this case even got to the trial stage.

Welp, a reminder that your actions are being constantly filmed. As for this video, I have no words. This case is odd.

I get not finding Jabbari particularly credible but those texts reframe everything about how Majors has acted during this controversy. He manipulated Jabbari to lie to authorities then to cover up his behavior and now has doubled down and tried (and has failed miserably) to smear her to protect himself. Textbook abuser. He could've just taken a plea deal and apologized but to double down like he's done given what we know now makes him seem like a genuinely scary person.

He could've just taken a plea deal and apologized but to double down like he's done given what we know now makes him seem like a genuinely scary person. What is the context of those texts though? Jabarri has actually testified that Majors had never physically abused her before the night of the incident. So either she's perjured herself, or we actually need to wait to find out the context behind those texts. But by her own testimony, it wasn't physical abuse by Majors. It ain't a good look, but he isn't on trial for some redacted texts from a year before the incident. Why should he take a plea deal? The amount of reasonable doubt that he actually did anything to her at all for the incident he's actually on trial for is nuts. Their uber driver testified that Jabarri was the aggressor in the cab and he was just trying to get away from her. The people she went clubbing with testified they saw no injuries on her the whole night. It's been established that she's got a serious alcohol problem and ran into a club wall. And now you've got video of her chasing down a man across the city she's supposedly afraid of like The Terminator. Majors did the absolute right thing to let this go to trial, imho. I feel like Jabarri has done a pretty good job of smearing herself. Whatever happens, she's never going to live down that video of her running after Majors for 6 city blocks like a lunatic. If a man did the same thing, he'd be called a potential murderer I'm just shocked a DA could see footage like that and go, "let's prosecute".
