Jonathan Majors, the 33-year-old actor known for his roles in "Creed III" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," was taken into custody by the NYPD in New York following an alleged domestic violence incident involving a 30-year-old woman. According to a statement from the police department, officers responded to a 911 call and found that the woman had been assaulted. Majors was charged with strangulation, assault, and harassment. However, Majors' representative has denied the allegations, stating that the actor "has done nothing wrong" and expressing confidence in clearing his name. The victim sustained minor injuries and was taken to the hospital, but is reported to be in stable condition. Majors was released from custody on Saturday night.
