Jonathan Majors reps reportedly dropped him after domestic violence allegations were made against him.
The “Creed III” star, 33, has reportedly been axed by his public relations firm, the Lede Company, as well as his management company, Entertainment 360, Deadline reported on Monday.
His team has parted ways with him following his recent arrest after a domestic dispute last month in New York City.
Majors was cuffed on March 25 after police turned up at an apartment near West 22nd Street and Eighth Avenue following a 911 call.
He was arrested after allegedly choking his 30-year-old girlfriend, who has not been named. She was later taken to a hospital for minor injuries to her head and neck.
The “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” actor was charged with strangulation, assault and harassment.
He has maintained his innocence and is set to appear in court on May 8.
His criminal defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry even claimed that he was not guilty in a statement shortly after the incident.
“Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows,” the memo began.
“We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently,” the attorney added.
The lawyer noted that there was evidence left that “includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations.”
A series of text messages were also unveiled, reportedly showing that Majors’ girlfriend took blame for the altercation. She explained that she didn’t want to press charges against the father of one.
One of the sent messages included: “Please let me know you’re okay when you get this. They assured me that you won’t be charged. They said they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight.”
Another note read: “I’m so angry that they did. And I’m sorry you’re in this position. Will make sure nothing happens about this. I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone. I only just got out of hospital. Just call me when you’re out. I love you.”
Amid his legal woes, Majors’ partnership with Valentino has also been severed. The “Lovecraft Country” alum and the designer brand have “mutually agreed” to part ways, Deadline noted. Majors was set to attend the Met Gala next month with the brand.
The publication then reported that Majors has already filmed the second season of Disney+’s “Loki” TV series.
A source revealed that there’s “been zero conversations in the Marvel camp to drop Majors” from the Marvel franchise.
