I admit to being a little confused here - something happened a couple of
months ago with Majors, which prompted the usual suspects on Reddit to
proclaim he was innocent and this was all the result of a "witch hunt".
Was another set of charges (maybe in Calif.?) dismissed against Majors
earlier? This article makes no mention of anything outside of this NY case.

This article says there was a head injury to his girlfriend due to an
earlier incident in September 2022, in which he begged her not to go to
the hospital. This took place in London.

Note that she still wanted to be with him. Clearly there was something
wrong with her head BEFORE he smacked her around.

Maybe this is the earlier incident? He's not charged with this but it's
background.

What the fuck is it with women? He had no trouble getting another
girlfriend, Meagan Good.

"Stay away from him! He bashed in his last girlfriend's brains! She
hasn't recovered yet!"

"So that means he's single?"

This is so unfair! He was merely convicted of one instance of domestic
violence! He's had his career taken away from him!

Oopsie! Disney just bought distribution rights to Magazine Dreams. They
wanted to release it December 8 so the movie would be eligible for Oscar
consideration. Everybody's going to take a loss on this movie.

He played a disturbed amateur bodybuilder. If he's in prison, I'm not
sure how his criminal reputation would prevent this movie from finding
an audience.

I'll bet a very long list of women will write to him whilst he's in
prison, hoping to be his next girlfriend, after of course he beats
Meagan Good to death.

Wishful thinking on my part. No prison. Poor guy is a first-time
offender that both sides think can be rehabilitated, despite all the
beatings he administered for which he was not prosecuted, and generally,
how moronic women are about going out of their way to find abusive men
to date. He's very very dangerous to very very self-destructive women.

Conditional discharge, sentenced to completing a 52-week intervention
in teaching him how not to beat up women. Yeah, those programs work.

Is it transphobic for me to say that violent crime isn't taken seriously
when the victim is a woman in a domestic battery situation?
