He is facing misdemeanor charges of assault and harassment. If convicted, the actor could face up to a year in jail.
Only about a year ago, Majors was considered to be one of Hollywood's most promising rising stars. The actor, who recently turned 34, was educated at the Yale School of Drama and spent the past few years winning over audiences in prestigious TV shows and movies., the blockbuster Rocky film. And Majors was set to break through as a mainstream celebrity after being cast as a major supervillain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Majors pleaded not guilty to charges of misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault and harassment. . His lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, has maintained her client's innocence andSoon after the charges were filed, Majors was reportedly dropped by both his management and public relations firm. Since then, the actor's reputation has been damaged by ongoing bad press about his off-screen behavior, both in his private life and on set.
In June, Majors appeared at a Manhattan courtroom for a hearing. His lawyer stated she had"compelling evidence" that would help prove Majors was wronged, but Judge Rachel Pauley issued a sealed decision that resulted in Chaudhry withdrawing court papers challenging the accuser's accusations. Details of that decision remain under wraps. The judge wished the actor"best of luck" while scheduling his trial.
The incident has shredded Majors' prospects in Hollywood. He was removed from a U.S. Army marketing campaign soon after it became public, and Marvel has downplayed Majors' involvement in numerous upcoming projects. His character, Kang the Conquer, was set up to be the primary villain in what's been called the MCU's"Multiverse Saga.
