TJ Miller's Wife Kate Responds To Sexual Assault Allegations Against Husband

The wife of actor T.J. Miller came forward Tuesday to respond to sexual assault allegations leveled against her husband. T.J. Miller was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in the early 2000s during his time at George Washington University, according to a report in the Daily Beast Tuesday.

A woman accused the former Silicon Valley star of sexually assaulting her and chocking her. The unidentified woman said Miller "tried a lot of things without asking" and that she "kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop."

T.J. Miller’s wife, Kate Miller, released a lengthy joint statement on Twitter refuting the allegations and stating that the pair would stand together in the wake of the report.

“We met this woman over a decade ago while studying together in college, she attempted to break us up back then by plotting for over a year before making contradictory claims and accusations. She attempted to discredit both of our voices and use us against one another by trying to portray Kate to be a continuous abuse victim of T.J. (further efforts to hurt the two of us). She was asked to leave our university comedy group because of worrisome and disturbing behavior, which angered her immensely, she then became fixated on our relationship, and began telling people around campus 'I’m going to destroy them' & 'I’m going to ruin him.'

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. (See the emails referenced).

We stand together in stating this is nothing more than an unfortunate resurgence of her lies designed to wreak havoc on two happily married people in the public eye. She began again to circulate rumors online once our relationship became public.

Sadly she is now using the current climate to bandwagon and launch these false accusations again. It is unfortunate that she is choosing this route as it undermines the important movement to make women feel safe coming forward about legitimate claims against real known predators.

We stand together and will not allow this person to take advantage of a serious movement toward gender equality by allowing her to use this moment to muddy the water with an unrelated personal agenda. We feel we all have an obligation now more than ever to prevent people from using reporters to spin lies into headlines and focus instead on what is real.

We both champion and continue to stand up for people everywhere who have truly suffered injustice seeking to have justice brought into their lives.”
