Jonathan Majors Arrested in Alleged Domestic Dispute, Army Reevaluating Advertising Campaign

Actor Jonathan Majors, who recently starred in “Creed III” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” was arrested Saturday morning in New York in an alleged domestic dispute, according to police. Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has stated that the actor is “completely innocent” and was “provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.” The woman involved in the altercation had “minor injuries to her head and neck,” police said.

The Army’s Enterprise Marketing Office released a statement Sunday expressing concern over the allegations. Majors was the narrator of two ads at the heart of a broader media campaign that kicked off at the start of the NCAA’s March Madness college basketball tournament. The Army had hoped that Majors’ popularity would help them reach the youth audience.

The arrest of Majors has caused the Army to reevaluate their advertising campaign, which was aimed at reviving the service’s struggling recruiting numbers. The Army has not yet released any further information on the status of the campaign or Majors’ involvement.

Majors is currently being held in police custody and is facing charges of strangulation, assault and harassment. It is unclear at this time what the outcome of the case will be. The investigation is ongoing and no further details have been released.
