2023 Best Actor

I don't think that Rolling Stone piece will carry any weight at all if his criminal charges are dismissed. They supposedly interviewed 40 people about his alleged bad behaviour since college, and couldn't even get 1 of them to go on the record (by naming themselves). That says more about the shakiness of the investigative journalism than Majors himself. It made it feel more like a hit piece  than a smoking gun. You could write unsubstantiated, hearsay heavy articles like that about 90% of people in Hollywood, most of them whom would have interacted with people over their careers or since college that found them rude, abrasive, unpleasant to be around etc. Shit, you could write an article like that about Emma Roberts, except you'd actually be able to find several people willing to go on record and say she's a rude, aggressive b*tch. Jonathan Majors is not so all-powerful a celebrity that you can't find one person willing to go on the record about his "terrible" behavior in a serious investigative piece, if it's as bad as claimed.


If he gets off, and most importantly if Disney/MCU stick by him (which by all accounts they will. So they probably know his odds for acquittal are high), he may still have a hard time getting back to where he was as some mud always sticks even if you are found innocent, but there will undoubtedly be an outpouring of sympathy for him, since more recent evidence suggests his ex-girlfriend was not only lying, but coached by police officers on the scene to accuse him. But I don't think a Rolling Stone article with 40 people willing to badmouth him, but none of them willing to go on record is going to stick the landing. Just my opinion anyway.
