There are a lot of deranged anti-Trump celebrities. And it is hard to choose between the likes of Cher and Shia. Not to mention Alyssa Milano. Still T.J. Miller is taking it to a whole new level.
Like his alleged assault on an Uber driver over Trump.
Comedian and actor T.J. Miller, best known for his role as Erlich Bachman on HBO's Silicon Valley, was arrested in Hollywood around 1 a.m. Friday morning when LAPD officers responded to a call from a driver for a transporation company, who had picked him up from the GQ Men of the Year party at Chateau Marmont. The driver reportedly accused Miller of slapping him in the head following an altercation about President-elect Donald Trump. Miller, who also stars in Office Christmas Party, released in theaters today, was released on $20,000 bail.
Power to the people.
And Miller is serious about this in a way that defies public safety.
Miller showed up on Conan Thursday night with a safety pin freshly jabbed through his ear.
When asked about his last appearance on the show during which Miller apparently burned a Donald Trump tie, and whether or not he regrets doing that now that Trump has been elected, Miller plainly responded “No.” He went on to call the president-elect a con man and talked about how the country is broken, which means that therefore it can be fixed (“This is an opportunity, with an emphasis on unity — I’m making T-shirts Andy!”), but it was at that point Conan interrupted him to mention that his ear was bleeding.
Citing the “safety pin movement,” Miller told Conan, “I did it at the last minute because my wife Kate was like you know, you should show solidarity.” When Conan and Andy later pointed out — as blood began pouring down his neck and shoulder — that maybe you’re supposed to put the pin in your coat, Miller retorted, “When you’re not hardcore, yeah, sure!”
Miller left Silicon Valley, which was about the only reason anyone had been paying attention to him, and bashed his former colleagues for not helping Hillary.
T.J. Miller trashed his former co-workers on HBO's "Silicon Valley," saying they did not do enough to stop Trump.
"Right before the election … I asked, ‘How much money did you donate, you Hollywood elites? How much did you donate to Hillary Clinton's campaign?'" he recounted. "And everybody in the cast said nothing. They hadn't given a dollar."
I love that Miller is accusing the Silicon Valley cast of being Hollywood elites.
And instead he's been reduced to touting the progressive virtues of the Emoji movie, that horrible thing you can't believe is being inflicted on the nation.
"This was an opportunity to do something optimistic, positivistic and you know, we have very few weapons in the current administration, and one of them is to target a younger demographic and try and help them understand and adopt progressive values," Miller continued.
"The movie has a lot to say to women, and how they have limitless potential, and one of the characters literally breaks through a glass ceiling," he added.
And there you have it.
