'Silicon Valley' Star T.J. Miller Accused of Sexual and Physical Assault
T.J. Miller, a former cast member of "Silicon Valley," joins the growing list of Hollywood celebrities accused of sexual assault. An anonymous woman has come out to tell her story of how the comedian sexually abused and physically assaulted her while in college.
In a graphic retelling of her side of the story, an alleged assault victim of Miller came forward to the Daily Beast to accuse the "Emoji Movie" actor of sexual assault and physical injury. The incidents were also looked into by the student court of George Washington University, and these have hounded Miller in Hollywood and the comedy circuits for years, as well.
"He just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right," the woman, who asked to remain anonymous and be referred to as Sarah, revealed to the media outlet.
Alcohol was involved in the incident as well, which reportedly ended with Sarah just vaguely remembering how Miller punched her, resulting in a bloody lip and a chipped tooth. The actor allegedly told her that she has just fallen down while drunk, as The Verge recapped.
For their part, Miller and his wife, Kate Gorney, denied the accusations via a joint statement posted on social media. The couple claimed that this woman attempted to interfere in their relationship before, and is now making "contradictory claims and accusations."
"We are confident that a full consideration of accounts from and since that time will shed light and clarity on the true nature of not only this person's character, but also on the real facts of the matter," the couple added in the caption that went with a photo of the two in an embrace.
Other women have also started to come out denouncing T.J. Miller for past incidents, including women comedians and others in Hollywood.
