Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star Jonathan Majors' alleged victim has been granted a full temporary order of protection by a New York Judge, and the actor is in full agreement with the measure.
Majors was arrested a few weeks ago in New York after allegedly physically assaulting a woman in her 30s (believed to be his girlfriend).
“Today a judge granted a Full Temporary Order of Protection for the victim, per the People’s request and with the consent of defense counsel,” revealed the Manhattan District Attorney’s office (via Deadline). “At the time of arraignment, a Limited Temporary Order of Protection was granted.”
The order is in place to ensure that Majors has zero contact with his alleged victim, and remains in effect until at least the next court hearing, which is currently scheduled for May 9.
Majors' attorney Priya Chaudhry - who did her client no favours by sharing text messages from his alleged victim which proved to be anything but exonerating - released the following statement.
“This is standard in cases such as this, and we consented because Mr. Majors wants nothing to do with the woman who assaulted him. We have been transparent and cooperative with the District Attorney, including giving the District Attorney ample evidence, including witness statements, of Mr. Majors’ innocence. In fact, we recently provided a forensic medical opinion from a Board Certified Emergency Medicine Doctor and Trauma Specialist who has examined the photos and videos of the woman and concludes, without hesitation, that the woman did not have any injuries at the nightclub and the injuries she later sustained did not come from Mr. Majors (and could not have come from the way the woman described). In fact, the forensic medical expert’s opinion shows that the woman is lying.”
Several other women have since come forward and are said to be cooperating with the DA's office.
Majors' manager and PR team jumped ship a few weeks ago, and he's been dropped from several high-profile projects. As of right now, Marvel Studios hasn't taken any action, but it's probably only a matter of time before a rep announces that the role of Kang will be recast.
