Jonathan Majors appeared to score a "win" in his ongoing case this week when he filed charges of his own against his alleged victim, but a new report has now been published which presents more damning evidence that the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star has a history of abusive and toxic behaviour.
Rolling Stone has spoken with more than 40 people who have had dealings with Majors over the years, during his college days and more recently working with him on film sets, and it is said that many describe him as "being a complicated, unpredictable, and sometimes violent man, who can switch from charming to cold in a flash."
The report also includes statements from over a dozen sources who claim that Majors was physically and emotionally abusive to at least two former girlfriends. "My experience in dealing with him and watching him in relationships with several women [is] really upsetting."
Majors' attorney released the following statement in response.
“Jonathan Majors vehemently denies Rolling Stone’s false allegations that he physically, verbally, or emotionally abused anyone, let alone any of his past romantic partners. These allegations are based entirely on hearsay because neither of the romantic partners referenced were willing to engage with Rolling Stone for the article—demonstrating their outright falsity.”
Majors' legal team has attempted to counter with statements from six former partners who paint a more positive picture of the actor, but Rolling Stone claims that, in contacting these six people, "three say they never gave Majors’ team permission to release such statements." Another said their statement was pre-written and not approved.
Majors has already been dropped from several high-profile projects, but Marvel Studios has yet to take any action or comment on the situation. There are rumors that Kevin Feige and co. are looking into potential Kang replacements, but that's yet to be confirmed.
Will this finally prompt some kind of official statement? We'll be sure to keep you updated.
