Around 6 p.m. on Thursday, the New York Times published an investigation into disgraced actor Jonathan Majors’ history of abuse—including on-the-record interviews with two of his ex-girlfriends—as well as his alleged mistreatment of women on the set of HBO’s Lovecraft Country. One woman, who was engaged to Majors from 2015 to 2019, alleges that he choked her and threatened to kill her.
” The sub-heading read like something close to praise: “Priya Chaudhry spars with her opponents like a bare-knuckle boxer—and does it in gold sneakers.” Yes, at some point since publication, The Cut changed the headline. It now reads: “NYC’s Most Ruthless Defense Lawyer,” with the sub-hed: “Priya Chaudhry’s grilling of Jonathan Majors’s accuser shocked some watching his assault trial. She doesn’t care.” That’s closer to an accurate representation of why Chaudhry is newsworthy.
