Actor Jonathan Majors, known for his roles in Lovecraft Country and The Last Black Man in San Francisco, is facing more abuse claims from multiple victims. The allegations come just weeks after Majors was first accused of physical abuse by his ex-girlfriend.
According to sources close to the situation, at least three more women have come forward with allegations against Majors. The accusations range from emotional manipulation and verbal abuse to physical assault.
Majors has yet to publicly respond to the new allegations. However, his representatives have issued a statement saying that they are “aware of the allegations” and “are taking them seriously.” The statement also notes that Majors “categorically denies” the accusations.

“Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone,” his attorney Priya Chaudhry said in a statement provided to BuzzFeed News shortly after Variety published its story. “We have provided irrefutable evidence to the District Attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated.”
The allegations have sparked a conversation about accountability in the entertainment industry and the need for survivors to be believed and supported.
Many fans and colleagues of Majors have expressed their disappointment and concern, with some calling for him to step down from his upcoming projects.
It is unclear how these new allegations will affect Majors’ career, but they come at a time when Hollywood is facing increased scrutiny and demands for accountability.
Majors, who became one of Hollywood’s fastest rising new talents, saw his fame dwindle as a result of the accident. Organizations such as the US Army withdrew advertising campaigns featuring the actor. His talent management and PR firm has severed ties with the Creed III actor.
