Jonathan Majors’ attorney has shared text messages from his alleged assault victim claiming to show the woman admitting to being at fault and that Majors is innocent.
Attorney Priya Chaudhry told TMZ in a statement on Thursday March 30, that the woman at the center of the case sent the ‘Creed III’ actor several text messages after his arrest ‘admitting that she was the one who used physical force against him.’
It’s unclear when exactly the text messages were alleged to have been sent, but it appears to show that the alleged victim sent them after leaving the hospital to treat her injuries.
‘Please let me know you’re okay when you get this,’ the alleged text begins. ‘They assured me that you won’t be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position.’
She assures him that she would ‘make sure nothing happens about this’ because ‘I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone.’
She added, ‘I love you.’
Hours later – after Majors, 33, didn’t respond – the woman followed up to tell him that she said ‘point blank’ that the alleged strangulation ‘did not occur’ and should be ‘removed immediately.’
She also said she was pushing for the district attorney not to file charges against Majors.
Chaudry also said Majors ‘completely denies assaulting the woman.’
The Marvel star was arrested last weekend in a Chelsea apartment after officers responded to a 911 call.
The woman, who told authorities she’d been assaulted, had minor injuries to her head and neck, so police brought her to the hospital for treatment and arrested Majors without incident.
Majors was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on six counts of third-degree assault, three counts of third-degree attempted assault, and two counts of harassment.
Chaudry later said her client was ‘completely innocent’ and called Majors the victim in the situation.
‘We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently,’ Chaudhry said in a statement.
‘This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations,’ Chaudhry’s statement continued, adding that Majors’ girlfriend was having an ’emotional crisis’ for which she was hospitalized.
