Norman Reedus and Helena Christensen’s Son Mingus Faces New Charges After Alleged Violent Outburst

Hi there! I’m Quinn Parker, your favorite over-caffeinated aunt who just *has* to spill the tea—fast. And trust me, this one is a doozy!

You know how sometimes you think, “Oh, celebrity kids have it all together,” right? Think again. Because Mingus Lucien Reedus—the 25-year-old son of The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus and supermodel Helena Christensen—is now facing new charges after a violent incident that went down in their upscale Chelsea apartment.

Let’s rewind. On Friday night, things allegedly got out of hand between Mingus and his 33-year-old girlfriend, with whom he shared an intimate relationship. Prosecutors say he grabbed her by the neck with both hands so forcefully that he lifted her off the ground while choking her. Then, the next morning, he allegedly kicked her in the leg and threw her to the floor. Yikes.

By Saturday morning, Mingus was arrested and charged with third-degree assault and obstruction of breathing. But that wasn’t enough—later that night, he picked up even more charges, including reckless physical injury, aggravated harassment, and second-degree harassment. He appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court looking jittery and nervous, but his high-profile attorney, Priya Chaudhry—who also represented Marvel actor Jonathan Majors—argued that any bruises on the woman weren’t from the alleged attack.

Chaudhry claimed that Mingus had actually broken things off with his girlfriend, which led her to take sleeping pills in what she described as a suicide attempt. According to the defense, Reedus called 911 because he was worried about her. The victim has since moved out of their shared apartment and reportedly doesn’t want to press charges or continue with the case.

Still, Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Shamahs ordered Mingus to stay away from the woman and released him from custody. But get this—he apparently couldn’t resist throwing shade at a reporter before leaving court, calling a Post journalist “ugly.” Classy move, Mingus.

This isn’t the first time Mingus has found himself in legal hot water. Back in March 2022, he copped to a plea deal after allegedly punching a woman during the San Gennaro festival in Little Italy. That landed him a conditional discharge, requiring him to stay out of trouble for a year and attend five counseling sessions.

Now, he’s due back in court on Tuesday, and fans are already buzzing. Will the victim really refuse to testify? Could this affect his parents’ public image? And seriously, what’s going on in that head of his?

Whew! That was a LOT to process!
