Actress Meagan Good, who Majors recently began dating after his arrest, accompanied him to the hearing. Judge Rachel Pauley set the next hearing for August 3, and reminded Majors that an order of protection was still in effect from contacting the 30-year-old woman at the center of the case.
In a statement following the hearing, Majors’ attorney Priya Chaudhry maintained her client’s innocence and claimed it was the woman who attacked Majors, saying her team provided video footage of the “frenzied attack” and evidence of Majors’ alleged injuries to the District Attorney. “Following this, we strongly requested the District Attorney dismiss all charges against Mr. Majors immediately and initiate proceedings against [the woman],” she said.
Majors was arrested for allegedly attacking his romantic partner during a fight that broke out after the woman reportedly tried to grab his cell phone. According to officials and the woman, Majors “struck” and “kicked” her, allegedly pushing her into the side of a car and causing minor injuries to her head and neck.
In an updated complaint from May, the woman claimed Majors had twisted her arm and finger behind her body “causing substantial pain.” “I further observed [Majors] strike me with his hand across my right ear causing substantial pain and a laceration behind my right ear,” the woman claimed. Police were called to Majors’ residence the following morning, where they allegedly observed the injuries on the woman and took her to a hospital. Majors was then arrested and charged with assault in the third degree; attempted assault in the third degree; aggravated harassment in the second degree; and harassment in the second degree.
