Why move to Canada, when you can move to prison?
Todd Joseph "T.J." Miller was taken into custody Monday night at LaGuardia Airport, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
The former Silicon Valley star was arrested for allegedly "intentionally conveying to law enforcement false information about an explosive device on a train traveling to Connecticut," according to a press release from the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut. Miller allegedly made the bomb threat March 18.
According to authorities, the 36-year-old comedian and actor allegedly called 911 and told the dispatcher he was on an Amtrak Train traveling from Washington, D.C., toward Penn Station in New York City and that a female passenger “has a bomb in her bag.”
Now Miller faces potential jail time. As if his previous alleged assaults and the Emoji Movie weren't reason enough to lock him up.
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.
The Daily Beast reached out to a representative for the Critics' Choice Awards, which Miller is scheduled to host this Sunday night in Santa Monica. Asked if he will stay on as host following the arrest, the spokesperson replied, "Yes, he will be."
The lefties kept on ignoring it, because Miller had all the right politics.
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
And there was a lot to ignore.
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.”
#Resistance.
The warning signs were all there. But Hollywood kept ignoring them.
