Jonathan Majors has been accused of being abusive towards two ex-partners in fresh allegations, which he vehemently denies.
The Creed III actor, 33, was arrested in March and charged with assault and harassment following an alleged altercation with a woman in Manhattan, New York City.
Majors has vehemently denied all charges and has since reportedly filed a domestic violence complaint against the woman, who has not been named.
While he awaits trial in August, Rolling Stone magazine has alleged Majors was physically abusive to one woman whom he reportedly strangled while they were dating, with a source claiming she suffered ‘really extreme abuse, physically and mentally’.
The publication also claimed the movie star was emotionally abusive to another woman, with an insider alleging that she told friends she suffered ‘emotional torture’.

Majors’ attorney, Dustin A. Pusch, has vehemently denied the claims made against his client.
He told the publication: ‘Jonathan Majors vehemently denies Rolling Stone’s false allegations that he physically, verbally, or emotionally abused anyone, let alone any of his past romantic partners.
‘These allegations are based entirely on hearsay because neither of the romantic partners referenced were willing to engage with Rolling Stone for the article – demonstrating their outright falsity.’
The report also alleges Majors pushed a person on the set of his upcoming film Magazine Dreams and ‘physically intimidated another while screaming at them’.
Addressing these allegations, Pusch said: ‘The allegations that Mr. Majors got physical with or physically intimidated anyone on any movie set are downright false.
‘Everyone who has worked with Mr. Majors knows that he employs an immersive Method acting style, and while that can be misconstrued as rudeness at times, those who know Mr. Majors and work in the industry have attested to his dedication to his craft as well as his kindness.’

Majors’ ex-girlfriend Haley Carter – who dated the actor for several years as a teenager – who defended spoke out to defend the star.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, she said: ‘After 20 years of knowing him, I can tell you who Jonathan is. He did not do these things.
‘He is exactly the opposite of what these allegations say. 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’ fellow Marvel star Anthony Mackie has also spoken out in his defence.
‘We’re a country that was built on “everyone is innocent until proven guilty”,’ the Avengers: Endgame actor said.
Mackie, 44, added to Inverse: ‘That’s one of the staples of this country. Nothing has been proven about this dude. Nothing. So everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That’s all I can say. It’s crazy where we are as a society.
‘But as a country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty.’
Majors is due to stand trial in New York over the charges on August 3.
