The recent arrest of Jonathan Majors shook the pop culture world, and law enforcement reportedly confirmed that his alleged victim is his girlfriend. Moreover, TMZ recently gave an update on this story where they claim that New York City police gave more details on the shocking incident. Furthermore, these reports suggest that the couple found themselves in a taxi when an argument started between the two. According to TMZ, the 33-year-old's girlfriend saw that another woman texted his phone, and an altercation ensued. Not only that, but these reports allege that Majors got physical when his girlfriend tried to see these alleged text messages on his device.

Specifically, the report indicates that the Creed III star slapped his girlfriend when she tried to see the messages and then put his hands around her neck. In addition to these details, reports also surfaced that law enforcement responded to a call on Saturday morning (March 25) around the Chelsea area in Manhattan regarding this incident. Afterwards, they rushed Majors' girlfriend to a nearby hospital after they noticed the visible injuries on her face and body.

Also, they promptly brought the California native into custody and placed him in prison, as they thought there was enough evidence to prove probable cause. However, these fresh reports point to the Marvel actor already leaving jail and being free after his Saturday arrest. Not only that, but a representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing and expressed hope that they'll clear up the situation.

"He’s done nothing wrong," they remarked to TMZ. "We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up." Given the actor's meteoric rise to fame and acclaim, many fans expressed outrage, disappointment, shock, and disbelief on social media. Along with that, many also pointed to an alleged history of similar behavior. Still, given that it's just social media reactions and this is just breaking, people are taking this with a grain of salt. With that being said, people will make their own research, reach their own conclusions, and wait for more information. On that last point, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Jonathan Majors.
