Multiple Sources Claim In New ‘Rolling Stone’ Report That Jonathan Majors Has Decade-Long Pattern Of Abuse

Jonathan Majors has a decade-long history of alleged violent abuse, according to a new explosive report by Rolling Stone.

The outlet spoke with over 40 people over three months to detail the amount of alleged abusiveness that sources claimed is a pattern of behavior. All sources spoke under the protection of anonymity for fear of repercussions in their career or of Majors himself. Some also claimed they couldn’t speak to Rolling Stone, with one person who worked with Majors saying he had them sign an NDA.

According to the article, Majors has engaged in “a pattern of alleged physical, mental and emotional abuse” even when he was at school at Yale’s David Geffen School of Drama. While at school, he was allegedly involved in “physical altercations,” and this pattern of behavior continued onto film and TV sets, leading production members to report his behavior, even as recently as his last film, Sundance favorite Magazine Dreams.

Even more alarming are the allegations of physical and emotional abuse in romantic relationships. More than 12 sources claimed that Majors was allegedly abusive to his partners, one of those relationships including physical abuse. Majors allegedly also strangled one of the women he was involved with, which echoes the original report from the March altercation with Majors’ current victim. The second described her relationship with Majors to friends as “emotional torture.”

As a partner, Majors has been described as initially wooing potential partners before becoming violent and controlling, with one source saying that one of the women he dated said Majors would “get filled with rage.” While he never became physically abusive towards this woman, she claimed to her friend that Majors would say he “needed to hit something or punch a wall or something of that nature.” Several sources also claimed Majors would manipulate his partner into becoming submissive to the point of believing that they could not live without him.

Majors’ attorney Dustin A. Pusch claimed Rolling Stone “was provided statements from Mr. Majors’s actual past romantic partners”–six character witness statements from women Majors either knew well or dated–“attesting to his character and the falsity of the charges, but Rolling Stone purposefully ignored those facts and red flags and published the false charges anyway.”

Even though Majors’ lawyer denies the allegations, Rolling Stone said they reached out to the six people, and three of them said Majors’ team never got permission from them to release any statements, and another woman claimed the statement Majors’ team allege she gave them was pre-written, false, and not approved by her.

Haley Carter, the only woman who wanted to consent to her name being known to the public, said she dated Majors between the ages of 13 and 18, and described him as “Sweet, kind and gentle.” She also said that after her 20 years of knowing Majors, she believed he was innocent.

“He is exactly the opposite of what these allegations say,” Carter alleged in her statement. “Jonathan is the most self-controlled, disciplined, well-mannered person I know. We all call him ‘the peacekeeper.’ He is not violent in any way.”

Majors’ next court date is Aug. 3 in New York City.
