NYPD, prosecutors clash over charging actor Jonathan Majors’ ex with a crime, court papers say

Actor Jonathan Majors is expected in court Wednesday morning on domestic violence charges, as police and prosecutors appear to disagree about whether the woman he is accused of assaulting should also be arrested.

In court papers filed ahead of a hearing Wednesday in New York Criminal Court, prosecutors disputed a request to drop their case against Majors, who is known for his roles in Lovecraft Country and Creed III, among other TV shows and movies. They also said they did not believe the woman who accused him of assault had committed a crime.

Majors has pleaded not guilty to assault and harassment charges. Gothamist is not naming his accuser because she may be the victim of domestic violence. Majors then grabbed the woman, pried her finger off the phone, twisted her forearm and hit her in the ear, according to court records. The woman tried to get out of the car, court papers state, but Majors grabbed her and threw her back inside.
