Details
Text messages between Jonathan Majors and his victim have been shared by Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry. In them, the woman allegedly “disavowed any allegations” against him.
In the messages, the woman wrote, “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.”
She shared that she had “just got out of the hospital.” The woman also wrote, “I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone.”
The texts also reveal the woman denying that Majors strangled her and saying ‘this was not an attack.’ Furthermore, she supposedly wrote that the 911 call was related to ‘me collapsing and passing out and your worry as my partner due to our communication prior. Out of care.’
A spokesperson for the DA’s office told PEOPLE that the assault is an “active and ongoing investigation.”
Additional Information
Majors’ alleged victim hasn’t been identified by authorities. Chaudhry said that the actor “completely denies assaulting the woman. Around 11 a.m. on March 25, 2023, Jonathan Majors called 911 out of concern for the woman’s mental health. The police arrived with the paramedics, as is standard procedure, and arrested Mr. Majors due to an NYPD protocol requiring arrest in certain circumstances.”
“On that same day, only seven and nine hours later, the woman sent text messages to Mr. Majors admitting that she was the one who used physical force against him,” Chaudhry stated. “She also disavowed any allegations that he had done anything to her and confirmed that Mr. Majors called 911 because of her mental condition.”
Reports state that Majors allegedly “[struck] her about the face with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear,” grabbed her neck and hand “causing bruising and substantial pain.”
