Several women are cooperating with the Manhattan District Attorney's office, which is pursuing a domestic violence case against Majors, Variety first reported.

“Jonathan Majors is innocent and has not abused anyone,” attorney Priya Chaudhry said in the statement to Variety. “We have provided irrefutable evidence to the district attorney that the charges are false. We are confident that he will be fully exonerated.”
