Great Progressive Feminists throughout history like Ted Kennedy, Mohammed and Al Franken have often been misunderstood. The same may be true of T.J. Miller.
T.J. Miller really hates 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.
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.
You may remember T.J. Miller from Silicon Valley. But he moved on to lead the #Resistance by making the Emoji Movie.
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."
But the Emoji Movie was a real feminist statement.
"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.
Miller allegedly had some things to say to women too.
An alleged victim of former Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller is coming forward with accusations that Miller hit and sexually assaulted her while in college.
“He just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right,” the woman told The Daily Beast. “He choke[d] me, and I kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop… I couldn’t say anything.”
Two of the GW contemporaries say they were in the off-campus house where the incidents allegedly occurred. The contemporaries later testified in student court about hearing the sound of violent thuds or seeing bruises on Sarah.
Three other contemporaries said they comforted and counseled Sarah in the aftermath of the incidents. Matt Lord was one of them. An ex-boyfriend of Sarah’s, he told The Daily Beast that he continues to believe her story more than a decade after the fact.
Sarah said that she woke up the following morning with a fractured tooth and a bloodied lip. When she asked Miller about it that morning, he claimed, according to Sarah, that she had simply fallen down drunkenly the past evening.
The next morning, Duffy recalled, Sarah came down to the small kitchen where other housemates were having coffee and breakfast. Her physical appearance raised alarm.
“She looked like she had been through a rough night—I recall seeing bruises [on Sarah],” Duffy said. “One roommate asked if she wanted to go to the police. Others offered to take her to the hospital, given how she looked.”
