Two women came forward with new abuse allegations against Jonathan Majors on Thursday, accusing the disgraced actor of physical and emotional abuse in a report from The New York Times.
The report also cited interviews with 20 other people who alleged that Majors has a “history of volatility,” per the Times, and that he repeatedly confronted female co-workers while on set of the HBO series Lovecraft Country, leading several to complain to the network.
The Times report references accounts from Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, who say they dated Majors between 2013 and 2019. Duncan told the Times that Majors physically and emotionally abused her, and Hooper alleged emotional abuse.
Per the report, both women described Majors as “a controlling, threatening figure who isolated them from friends and career pursuits.”

Sam Mendes’ World War I epic 1917 scored its second major guild victory of the awards season Saturday at the 72nd annual DGA Awards, cementing his spot as an Oscar Best Picture frontrunner in Director and Best Picture by winning the marquee feature film award.
The victory in a category that included four of this year’s five Oscar Directing nominees — Bong Joon-Ho for Neon’s Parasite, Quentin Tarantino for Sony’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Martin Scorsese for Netflix’s The Irishman — came after the Universal film produced and financed by Amblin Partners and New Republic scored the top prize at the PGA Awards a week ago.
‘I want to tell a quick story I’ve never told before,” Mendes, who won this award in 1999 for American Beauty, said onstage at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. “My grandfather inspired this film, and he made me...

The Directors Guild of America is out with its DGA Awards nominations for TV series after a false start earlier this week. The shows whose helmers will be vying for the hardware are Game of Thrones, Watchmen, Succession, Barry, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Veep.
See the full list of noms revealed today below.
The DGA had been slated to announce all of its TV nominations earlier this week, but instead it revealed only the TV Movie/Limited Series, Documentary, Variety/Talk/News/Sports and Commercials nominees on Monday. It blamed the delay on “a re-vote related to a newly implemented electronic entry submissions process.”
The guild had announced last week that Jill Soloway — a previous DGA Award winner for her work on Transparent — was left off the ballot because of an internal DGA error. “We regret to inform you that the following entry was inadvertently omitted from the Comedy Series ballot: #165a.

After a four-day delay, the Directors Guild of America has finished announcing this year’s TV nominees, includng Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Television Dramatic Series; Comedy Series; and Variety/Talk/News/Sports – Specials for 2019.
