Earlier this week it was reported that actor Jonathan Majors had been dropped by his management team, talent agent and publicist after getting arrested for slapping and choking his girlfriend in a dispute over text messages in his phone [click here if you missed that].
Now Jonathan has also been cut from several upcoming projects...
From Deadline
Jonathan Majors has been dropped from a slew of projects we hear on good authority including Protagonist Pictures’ feature adaptation of the Walter Mosley novel, The Man in My Basement, an ad campaign for the Texas Rangers MLB team, as well as an unannounced Fifth Season’s Otis Redding biopic which the Emmy-nominated actor was circling.
The latest on Majors comes in the wake of yesterday’s news that his manager, Entertainment 360, and publicist, The Lede Company, have cut ties with the actor, who is facing domestic violence allegations in NYC after a March 25 incident involving a dispute with a 30-year old woman. The unnamed victim was taken to the hospital with “minor injuries to her head and neck,” according to authorities at the time of the incident. Majors is scheduled to appear in court on May 8 after being charged by the NYC D.A.
Majors was set to star and executive produce The Man in My Basement under his Tall Street Productions banner. A replacement for Majors is underway. The pic also has Willem Dafoe attached. Protagonist Pictures did not return request for comment by Deadline.
Dallas, Texas was one of the areas Majors grew up in. Following Majors’ arrest, the Texas Rangers had to pivot from Majors in their 2023 season ad campaign. When reached by Deadline, Texas Rangers provided no comment.
Meanwhile, Majors was kicking the tires on a Fifth Season project, early in the works, entitled Otis and Zelma, which has the full support of Redding’s estate. No deals were signed on the Stephanie Allain produced project, but Majors is no longer under consideration for the film, Deadline has been informed.

Oh well, bu-bye
Stick a fork in him. He's done.
He hasn't even gone to trial yet, much less found guilty but notice how quickly they'll cancel a Black man.. I'm not even taking sides because the facts are still unclear but how many yts have been accused of something early on and had their rising careers pulled out from under them this swiftly? Lesson learned Black man. Lesson learned. Y'all won't and don't get the same grace. Keep loving them yt women and see where it gets you.
Why are they ruining this young man. What did he do sooooooooo Bad to deserve his livelihood being snatched away. WHY.
This isn't France where you are assumed guilty until you can prove innocence, this is America. First they had him do a humiliation ritual of wearing pink and acting sus, and now everyone is cancelling him without a conviction? Meanwhile, perverts Woody Allen and Roman Polanski have never been canceled. How does 1 argument amount to the end of his career? This is odd. Who did he piss off?
Blacks need to stop comparing themselves to whites who commit the same infractions! When are you going to learn that you are not the same, not considered equal and will never get the same treatment?
Join Weinstein in Prison.
He gonna take over Tubi
