Nepotism can’t protect Mingus Lucien Reedus from the law. The 25-year-old son of “Walking Dead” star Norman Reedus is facing charges after allegedly choking his girlfriend in their Manhattan apartment.
Reedus, a model and former Victoria’s Secret angel Helena Christenson’s son, was arraigned on Saturday on charges of assault, harassment, and reckless endangerment. Prosecutors claim he got into a fight with his 33-year-old girlfriend on Friday night, which escalated into physical altercations.
The victim is said to have suffered injuries, including being lifted off the ground by Reedus. He faces multiple charges, including third-degree assault, obstruction of breathing, and second-degree harassment.
Reedus’ lawyer, Priya Chaundhy, claims the arrest was a “misunderstanding” and that her client was trying to help his girlfriend after their five-month relationship ended. However, prosecutors disagree, saying the alleged victim is not afraid of Reedus and has since moved out of their apartment.
This is not Reedus’ first brush with the law. In 2021, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after allegedly slugging a woman at a festival. He was required to stay out of trouble for a year and undergo counseling.
Reedus refused to comment on the charges, instead hurling insults at a reporter as he left court.
