Actor Jonathan Majors appeared in court virtually on Tuesday for a hearing related to the\u00a0assault and harassment charges\u00a0brought against him in March by the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
During the morning status conference, the DA provided more information regarding an incident that took place on March 25 between Majors and a female accuser.<\/p>\n
Previously, the complaint stated that Majors had allegedly struck the woman in her face with an open hand, causing a laceration behind her ear. The complaint now states that the woman also sustained injuries to her arm and hand and that she was allegedly pushed into the side of a vehicle by Majors.<\/p>\n
He has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n
In a statement to CNN following the hearing, Majors\u2019 attorney Priya Chaudhry accused prosecutors of racial bias in the case and reiterated that her team has provided investigators video evidence that allegedly exonerates Majors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a witch hunt against Jonathan Majors, driven by baseless claims,\u201d Chaudhry\u2019s statement read in part. \u201cTo be clear, there are no new charges against Mr. Majors.\u201d<\/p>\n
Majors, who recently starred in \u201cCreed III\u201d and \u201cAnt-Man and the Wasp, was\u00a0reportedly\u00a0told by Judge Rachel S. Pauley on Tuesday that he must adhere to the full stay-away order for protection and have no contact with his accuser.<\/p>\n
In addition to his recent high-profile roles, Majors, who was nominated for an Emmy for his performance in HBO\u2019s \u201cLovecraft Country,\u201d is slated to star in the title role of the upcoming Marvel film, \u201cAvengers: The Kang Dynasty.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next court hearing, in this case, is scheduled for June 13.<\/p>\n
