New allegations of abuse have surfaced against actor Jonathan Majors, as detailed in a recent report by The New York Times. The article published Thursday featured accounts from two women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, who claimed to have dated Majors.
Duncan alleges instances of physical and emotional abuse, while Hooper alleges emotional abuse during their relationship.
Depicting his relationship with the Marvel supervillain, Duncan describes him as controlling and threatening, leading to isolation from friends and career aspirations. He said, “You lose your sense of worth. She added: “At first you feel, ‘Oh, I’m loved, and then you feel, ‘I’m being erased.'”
In response to the allegations, Majors’ lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, admitted in a reply to People magazine that the former Marvel actor had a “toxic” relationship with the woman and “did say hurtful things.”
However, the lawyer denied several allegations of physical abuse, stating: “This relationship was between young drama students, and it all started with mutual intensity,” with Hooper dating Majors from 2013 to 2015 and Duncan from 2015 to 2019.

The domestic violence allegation occurred on March 25, 2023, and during the trial, Jabbari testified that Majors injured her during a dispute over text messages she saw on his phone that indicated an affair. This resulted in a physical altercation when he grabbed the phone from her.
During the argument, she claims Majors forcibly removed her finger from the phone, hit her on the head while trying to get it, and then threw her back into the car.
Despite pleading not guilty, the “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” star faces the possibility of up to a year in prison, with his sentencing hearing now scheduled for April 8 after his defense team filed a motion to set aside the verdict. In the meantime, the prosecutor has until March next month to respond to the motion.
