Today's Alleged Sexual Harasser: T.J. Miller
by EG
When T.J. Miller left Silicon Valley, he burned his bridges, publicly deriding the show and its producers. He also made some controversial comments about female comedians (they aren't as funny as men, according to Miller). He then went on to make The Emoji Movie, which didn't earn him many more fans. Now he could use some friends, as he's being caught in the wave sexual abuse allegations. The allegations against Miller are especially brutal, and it would be in his interest to have some friends who'd stand up and say he's not the kind of guy who would do such a thing.

A woman has accused T.J. Miller of sexually assaulting her and punching her in the face while they were both students at George Washington University.
“He just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right,” the woman, who remained anonymous out of fear of retribution, 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.”
One incident involved choking and penetration with an inanimate object.
“We started to fool around, and very early in that, he put his hands around my throat and closed them, and I couldn’t breathe,” she recalled to the Daily Beast.
“I was genuinely terrified and completely surprised. I understand now that this is for some people a kink, and I continue to believe it is [something] that should be entered into by consenting parties. But, as someone who had only begun having sexual encounters, like, about three months earlier, I had no awareness this was a kink, and I had certainly not entered into any agreement that I would be choked.
“I was fully paralyzed,” Sarah continued.
Her roommates could hear her choking and banged on the door. Sarah told them she would talk to them in the morning. She returned to bed, where Miller allegedly anally penetrated her without consent. He also allegedly used a beer bottle to anally penetrate her.
The former “Silicon Valley” star, 36, and his wife, Kate Gorney, released a joint statement to the Daily Beast denying any wrongdoing.
