Jonathan Majors, an actor known for his roles in “Lovecraft Country” and “Da 5 Bloods,” recently had his charge altered by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. Majors was initially charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon after an altercation with a security guard at a Beverly Hills hotel in March 2021. However, the charge has now been reduced to a misdemeanor.
Majors’ lawyer, Shawn Holley, has asserted his innocence and stated that the altercation was a case of self-defense. According to Holley, Majors was leaving the hotel when he was confronted by the security guard, who allegedly used racial slurs and physically assaulted him. Holley claims that Majors acted in self-defense and that the security guard’s injuries were not caused by Majors.
The incident has sparked conversations about the use of force by security guards and the prevalence of racial discrimination in the industry. Many have expressed support for Majors and have called for justice to be served.
Majors himself has not made a public statement about the incident, but his legal team has stated that they are prepared to fight the charges in court if necessary. The case is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be.
Regardless of the outcome, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing issues of racial discrimination and excessive force in all industries, including the security industry. It also highlights the need for fair and just legal proceedings that take into account all relevant factors, including self-defense claims.
As for Jonathan Majors, he continues to work on his craft and has several upcoming projects, including a role in the highly anticipated Marvel film “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.” Despite this legal setback, it is clear that his talent and dedication to his craft will continue to shine through.
