Tenoch Huerta has been stuck in a pickle ever since his former girlfriend put accusations against him about assaulting her. Things haven’t been smooth for him since then. It has been peculiar to note that he is not the first star from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be accused as such in this very year. Jonathan Majors too was met with a crumbling reputation after his girlfriend also accused him of domestic violence.
