Mingus Reedus Faces Assault Charges After Manhattan Incident: What Happened?
Hi there! I’m Quinn Parker, and let me just say—I had four cups of coffee this morning, so we’re diving in *hard*. If you thought Hollywood drama was all red carpets and glam shots, think again—because today’s tea is piping hot. We’re talking about Mingus Reedus, son of actor Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen, who recently found himself in a courtroom instead of on a runway.
So here’s what went down: On Saturday, the 24-year-old model was arrested following an alleged domestic incident at a Manhattan apartment involving a 33-year-old woman—rumored to be his girlfriend at the time. According to court records obtained by TMZ, Mingus was charged with reckless physical injury, aggravated harassment, and second-degree harassment after officers responded to reports of an assault in progress.
Witness accounts from police sources (via the New York Post) claim that Mingus allegedly punched the woman awake before choking her and slamming her to the ground. She was later transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition. However, Mingus’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has pushed back against the narrative, stating that the prosecutor’s decision to charge him only with misdemeanors or lesser offenses “speaks volumes.”
Chaudhry also emphasized that the judge released Mingus on his own recognizance without bail or supervision—a move she says underscores the presumption of innocence. “As the facts emerge, his innocence will become clear,” she told TMZ.
But wait—there’s more. Mingus reportedly called law enforcement himself after the woman took sleeping pills in what he described as a suicide attempt. The couple had ended their five-month relationship prior to the incident, according to court statements. Meanwhile, a woman identifying herself as his girlfriend was seen leaving the 10th Precinct hours after the arrest and told reporters it was all a “misunderstanding.”
This isn’t Mingus’ first run-in with the law. Back in 2021, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman during NYC’s San Gennaro festival and eventually pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in March 2022. As of now, neither Norman Reedus nor Helena Christensen have publicly commented on the situation, despite multiple attempts by media outlets to reach their representatives.
Mingus is scheduled to return to court on Tuesday, where more details may come to light. Until then, fans and critics alike are left speculating over what really happened behind closed doors—and whether this latest legal tangle could impact his career moving forward.
Whew! That was a lot to unpack, wasn’t it? But hey, if you ask me, this is far from over. Stay tuned—we’ll definitely be watching what happens next.
