One of the NHL’s more bizarre situations is finally being resolved. Center J.T. Miller has been traded from the Vancouver Canucks to the New York Rangers, according to multiple media reports.
Miller and teammate Elias Pettersson, two of the Canucks’ top scorers, have developed tensions between them going back approximately three seasons. The feud largely comes down to Miller’s aggressive leadership style, which clashed with the younger Pettersson’s quieter style.
JT Miller has been asked to Waive NMC to go to the NYR. Won’t be in the Canucks lineup tonight.
The two fought during practice in late October, slashing each other with their sticks. Their disagreement has become a significant falling out, which has split the team’s locker room, despite public denials.
In mid-November, Miller left the Canucks indefinitely for what the team said were personal reasons. He rejoined the team after a 10-game absence, appearing in all 23 of Vancouver’s games since then.
The dispute has been a major factor in Vancouver falling from a 50-23-9 first-place finish last season to its current 23-17-10 mark. That leaves them fifth in the eight-team Pacific Division and ninth in the Western Conference, on the outside looking in for a playoff spot.
Concurrently, Miller, 31, put up his best numbers last season, tallying 103 points (37 goals, 66 assists). However, his production has fallen to nine goals and 26 assists this season. He has five years remaining on his contract, set to pay him $40 million.
Pettersson, 26, signed an eight-year, $92.8 million contract last March, but has also seen his performance falter from 89 points (34 goals, 55 assists) last season to 11 goals and 21 assists in 44 games this season.
To resolve the issue, the Canucks had worked out a deal to send Miller to the Rangers, but that trade fell through. Miller has a no-movement clause in his contract, but was willing to waive it to return to New York, where he began his NHL career and played six seasons. Pettersson was also nearly traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in another deal that broke down.
To my Vancouver friends stressing over the return on a player with full no-movement protection:
The most important player in the trade is Elias Pettersson, who hopefully can be Elias Pettersson again now that Miller’s gone.
This week, Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford acknowledged in an interview with The Globe and Mail’s Gary Mason that the rift has split the team and changed once-promising plans.
“We’ve had those conversations and I think the parties understand that and I think they’ve tried,” Rutherford explained. “As you know, sometimes emotions get deep and as much as people try sometimes you can’t get over it. It certainly appears that’s what’s going on here.”
“We’re talking about two of our top players,” he added. “Certainly, our two best forwards. It can really be tough on a franchise — not only present, but into the future — when you’re planning on peaking this team into a contending team and then you find out that’s not going to happen. Or at least it’s not going to happen with the group we have now. Then you have to put together a new plan.”

However, the Canucks and Rangers finally agreed on a trade that both teams hope fuels a turnaround. Miller is expected to be in New York’s lineup for Saturday’s matchup with the Boston Bruins.
Going to Vancouver in exchange for Miller is center Filip Chytil, defenseman Victor Mancini and a protected first-round draft pick as part of the deal. The Rangers will also receive defensemen Jackson Dorrington and Erik Brannstrom in the trade package.
The 2025 first-rounder traded to the Canucks is protected if it’s among the NHL Draft’s top 13 selections, according to ESPN’s Emily Kaplan.
The Vancouver Canucks have traded disgruntled forward J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers in a blockbuster 6-player deal.
Miller, who had been vocal about his frustration with the Canucks’ lack of success, is headed to the Rangers in exchange for a package that includes forwards Alexis Lafreniere, Kaapo Kakko, and Vitali Kravtsov, as well as defenseman K’Andre Miller and a first-round pick.
The trade comes as a surprise to many, as Miller had been a key player for the Canucks since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2019. However, with the team struggling to find consistency and Miller expressing his desire for a change of scenery, the Canucks decided to pull the trigger on the deal.
The Rangers, on the other hand, are thrilled to add a player of Miller’s caliber to their roster. With Miller joining a talented group of forwards in New York, the Rangers are hoping to make a push for the playoffs this season.
Overall, this trade is sure to shake up the landscape of the NHL and will be one to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Jim Rutherford, president of hockey operations for the Vancouver Canucks, made a career as a small 5-foot-8 goaltender by overcoming any obstacles in his way, but he’s facing one now that he can’t seem to get past. He has two star players who apparently can’t stand one another: top centres J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson. And it’s put him and the organization in an unfathomable bind.
In the past, he has always felt like he could find a solution to any tricky situation, Rutherford told The Globe and Mail during an interview on Monday, “and I felt like for a long time that there was a solution here because everybody has worked on it, including the parties involved.”
“But it only gets resolved for a short period of time and then it festers again and so it certainly appears like there’s not a good solution that would keep this group together.”
While that may not come as a huge surprise to the Vancouver market – both players’ names have been connected to trades amid reports they have repeatedly clashed – it is still sobering to hear when the president of the team confirms it. And when he admits there is no solution that is likely to make anyone happy, well, then, reality really does sink in.
Of course, personality differences exist in every NHL dressing room. For as long as the league has existed, there have been situations where players haven’t liked one another. You would think that in this case, an alpha male who likes to push his weight around like Miller, 31, and a more sensitive and soft-spoken playerlike Pettersson, 26, could put their differences aside for the good of the team. But apparently not.
“We’ve had those conversations and I think the parties understand that and I think they’ve tried,” Rutherford said. “As you know, sometimes emotions get deep and as much as people try sometimes you can’t get over it. It certainly appears that’s what’s going on here.”
It is, to put it mildly, a problem that could end up impacting the Canucks for years.

“We’re talking about two of our top players,” Rutherford said. “Certainly, our two best forwards. It can really be tough on a franchise – not only present but into the future – when you’re planning on peaking this team into a contending team and then you find out that’s not going to happen. Or at least it’s not going to happen with the group we have now. Then you have to put together a new plan.”
Last year, this situation seemed, well, unimaginable. The Canucks played a feisty, tightly-structured game that took them to the seventh game of the second round of the playoffs, which they ended up losing to the Edmonton Oilers, an eventual Stanley Cup finalist. It was a safe assumption that the team would take another step this year, and Pettersson in particular would be back to his old, prolific self. But that didn’t happen.
Pettersson hasn’t looked anything like the player who earned an eight-year, nearly $93-million contract last March, making him one of the top-paid forwards in the league. It’s often seemed like the burden of expectations that come with that sort of deal has been too much. Or maybe it’s been the problems he’s experiencing with Miller that have shaken his confidence. Doesn’t matter. He’s been a shell of his former self.
Miller hasn’t looked like the dominant player who roamed the ice last year either, one of the top two-way centres in the NHL. He missed 10 games this season when he had to step away from the team for personal reasons. Who knows if the situation with Pettersson has impacted his game as well. How could it not if it’s as bad as Rutherford makes it out to be?
But the whole team hasn’t looked the same either. This year’s version has, in recent weeks, taken down Toronto, Edmonton and Washington – three of the top teams in the league. But then other times, far too often, they have looked disorganized and disengaged. That’s the maddening part about it.
“When you don’t have chemistry, it’s hard to be that consistent team because there’s too much going on in the room for everybody to concentrate on what they’re supposed to do,” Rutherford said.
I asked Rutherford if he means the Miller-Pettersson drama has impacted the entire team.
“Yes, yup,” he said.
Rutherford and his general manager, Patrik Allvin, are uncertain if removing one of either Pettersson or Miller will fix the problem. “We don’t know,” Rutherford said. “We’ll just have to wait to find out. We’ll have to take it a step at a time. If we try and do it too fast, that’s really when you can make some mistakes.”
Of course, the Canucks’ problems are no secret. The entire world knows. This includes general managers who have been circling the team like vultures looking to make away with an outstanding meal for very little cost. Rutherford said he’d be doing the same if he were in their shoes. But he didn’t earn the reputation he has by buying high and selling low.
If the right deal doesn’t come along, it’s conceivable that both players could finish the season on the team. He said he’d rather not have to trade either player.
As much as he wants to fix the problem, he has to be smart about it. He can’t just sell Pettersson and Miller for multiple first-round picks and start over, for one simple reason – superstar defenceman and captain, Quinn Hughes.
Hughes is just 25 and entering his prime as a player. He could win multiple Norris trophies before his career is over. He does not want to be part of any rebuild in Vancouver. A retool perhaps, a rebuild definitely not.
“If we were going to completely start over, that means he goes,” Rutherford told The Globe. “And we’d like to figure out a way that he’s here forever.”
What does that look like?
“We’ll have to do the best we can in trades,” Rutherford said. “Whatever assets you get in return, you may turn them into something else. And we have to work our way back into being a contending team.”
Still, any way you look at it, the Canucks are in a vulnerable – scratch that – are in a lousy, horrible, rotten, just-about-as-bad-as-it-gets position. Both Miller and Pettersson are No. 1 centres. In these times, you don’t trade a No. 1 centre and get a No. 1 centre back. “Those deals aren’t going to be there,” Rutherford acknowledges.
“So yeah, if a centre goes out of here we have to get some kind of centre back but it’s not going to be the same as the centre going out. It might not even be a No. 2 centre, but you’d have to do the best with what we have until we figure out how to fill that spot back in.
“And then, of course, you have to get extra things [in any trade] that you can either use in the future to flip for NHL players now or for other positions or things like that.”
This won’t be music to the ears of Canucks fans, but Rutherford is just being honest. It’s not like he asked for this nightmare to be foisted on him because he was bored with winning.
What the Canucks look like at the end of this season is anyone’s guess. Odds are they are going to look at lot different and likely a lot less appealing. At least for a while.
The rift between Canucks teammates Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller has been a hot topic of discussion among fans and analysts alike. Many have speculated on the reasons behind their strained relationship, but according to a recent post by Rutherford, there may be no good solution in sight.
The post delves into the complexities of the situation, highlighting the challenges of managing two talented players who may have different personalities and playing styles. Rutherford suggests that the tension between Pettersson and Miller could be detrimental to the team’s success, but finding a resolution may not be easy.
With both players being key contributors to the Canucks’ lineup, it’s crucial for the coaching staff and management to address the issue promptly. However, as Rutherford points out, there may not be a quick fix to mend the relationship between Pettersson and Miller.
As fans eagerly await updates on the situation, it remains to be seen how the Canucks will navigate this rift and whether they can find a way to reconcile their differences for the greater good of the team.
Trade discussions between the Rangers and Canucks regarding J.T. Miller have been off and on in recent weeks. It appears they’re back on again as Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reports (Twitter link) that discussions between the two sides about the veteran are intensifying. Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK and The Athletic adds (Twitter link) that Miller is expected to be made a healthy scratch tonight. Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli adds (Twitter link) that other pieces from Vancouver will be going to New York in the swap as well. Meanwhile, TSN’s Farhan Lalji reports (Twitter link) that center Filip Chytil is among the pieces going to the Rangers.
Assuming these talks get across the finish line and that Miller waives his no-move protection to facilitate the swap, this will end what has been a rocky last several weeks for the 31-year-old. There has been speculation of an internal rift between Miller and center Elias Pettersson, something that team president Jim Rutherford confirmed earlier this week. As a result, Vancouver has been engaging in trade discussions involving both players for quite some time now.
Miller is set to return to his first NHL team with the Rangers having drafted him 15th overall back in 2011. He spent parts of six seasons with them, recording 172 points in 341 games before being moved to Tampa Bay in 2018. He spent parts of two years with them before Vancouver acquired Miller in the 2019 offseason and since then, his career has taken off.
More to follow.
The Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers are reportedly in discussions about a potential trade involving forward J.T. Miller.
Miller, who has been with the Canucks since 2019, has been a key player for the team, recording 46 points in 53 games last season. However, with the Canucks looking to shake up their roster after a disappointing season, Miller’s name has been circulating in trade talks.
The Rangers, on the other hand, are looking to add scoring depth to their lineup and Miller could be a perfect fit. The 28-year-old forward has proven to be a versatile player who can contribute offensively and play a physical game.
It remains to be seen what the potential trade package would look like, but both teams are reportedly interested in getting a deal done. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

Five years into her Grand Canyon University tenure, Molly Miller has yet to stray from what made her exceptional in Springfield.
The former Kickapoo guard who went on to star at hometown NCAA Division II power Drury — as a player and later as head coach — still leans into a staunch defensive approach. It helped her post a gaudy 67-1 record her final two seasons at Drury before making an ascending move to Phoenix to lead a program that had never previously reached a Western Athletic Conference final.
Miller and the Lopes now own the second-longest active win streak in Division I women’s basketball (17 games) for what’s been a burgeoning mid-major operation.
The 38-year-old Miller has had GCU on the cusp of an NCAA Tournament berth in previous years, but after a program-affirming sweep of Arizona and Arizona State and a subsequent tear through the WAC, a corner appears to have been turned.
Miller, who often sees her name in rumor mills as a candidate at high-major schools, is enjoying the warm climate with her young family but still keeps southwest Missouri close to heart.
She believes GCU is a destination school with high-major potential, offering a similar environment and community-minded support she experienced at Drury.
Miller recently spoke to the Daily Citizen about her career, her time in Springfield and what she has done to sustain success in an ever-changing basketball landscape.
Ryan Collingwood: How have you been able to cultivate success in a relatively timely fashion at Grand Canyon?
Molly Miller: You have to have a little bit of patience. (Grand Canyon) was set up to succeed, it just hadn’t reached that next level as a program. And even in the last five years, GCU name recognition has increased with our men’s team being so successful and advancing in the NCAA Tournament, as well as our success. When I first got here, our team had yet to reach the championship game of our conference tournament, then we did that our first two years. Even this year, to take it up a notch and beat both Arizona and Arizona State, that was a big step in the advancement of our program and brand. It’s been a process. We had some initial success but there was a higher level to reach, and I think we’re seeing that this year in being one of the top mid-majors in the country and being in the conversation of NCAA Tournament berths. I think we’re there right now. Getting your culture to that level does take a bit of a transition period, and we’ve had success in that transition period, which has been nice.”
RC: Was there much of learning curve making the jump from Division II to Division I?
MM: A little bit. I’m pretty convicted in some of the X’s and O’s we do, so I’m glad that translated. The nice thing about Division II is that I did a lot of (behind-the-scenes work) myself, so I was able to manage and delegate more. That was probably the biggest difference, the amount of support, people and resources I had. I think the biggest learning curve has come in the last five years with the changing landscape. You have to navigate the transfer portal, and NIL is now a thing. That’s probably the biggest adjustment I’ve faced being here, not necessarily Division II to Division I, but the new environment in college athletics.
RC: Was Division I always the goal? Many coaches can find happiness and less stress at the small college and high school levels while others want to take it as far as they can.
MM: I wasn’t really motivated by level, monetary things or status. I knew if I was going to be a coach it had to be at a place I could do it the right way and where we had the resources to win and where I was supported. I had all of that at Drury and I thought I could have been at Drury for life. But when the opportunity at Grand Canyon came, I educated myself about what they were about — a private, Christian university with no football program, what I had at Drury. It was an opportunity to have resources and win and spread my wings a little bit and cast a little wider net in my career and as a person. I wasn’t looking (for a Division I job), honestly. We were undefeated at Drury (in 2019-2020) and had our season cut short due to COVID and I was looking ahead to getting the next Drury team to a national championship. GCU was just a good fit. I had the opportunity in previous years at Drury to jump to Division I, it just wasn’t the right fit or the right time. I was patient.
RC: Is that happening now, as far as being contacted for a bigger job? Your name has often surfaced as a potential candidate for bigger programs by pundits in the social mediasphere, for what that’s worth.
MM: The nice thing is that I have an agent who deals with all of that. I don’t really have to filter phone calls, so I can focus on my team, which is nice. Every spring you see the coaching carousel and it gets a little crazy, but right now I’m in such a good position. I love where I’m at, I love the people I work with, I love how we do it and being part of a Christian university that mirrors my faith and philosophies on life and learning and teaching and mentorship. I get asked about “the next level,” but Grand Canyon can be that next level. The best parallel is a school like Gonzaga, which I think is possible here and that’s my job to get us to that next level.
RC: What are the specific things, basketball-wise, from your philosophies at Drury that translated the most to GCU?
MM: I’m pretty convicted in the way we play defense, so it was nice to see that translate. A lot of pressure, we’ll do a lot of trapping, pressing and definitely a high-octane defense. Our offense has evolved, we really cater to the personnel that we have. We have some athleticism on the court and some great slashers. They’re surrounded by one of the best shooters in the country (Alyssa Durazo-Frescas) and we have a post player (Laura Erikstrup) who is averaging a near double-double. We have all of the components of a good team, one through five, they really complement each other well… We have quick-hitters to our shooters, downhill sets for slashers, isolation plays for our post-players. We can really kind of manipulate what we’re doing.”

RC: Are you still in touch with a lot of your Springfield hoops connections?
MM: I have one on my staff, Daejah Bernard, who was my point guard at Drury and one of the best to play there. I talked her into coaching. She has a great I.Q. and was good point guard for me, probably the best defender I ever coached so she can talk the defensive talk, too. But, yes. I keep up with a lot of them. Some of them got married, had some kids so it’s been nice to see their lives evolve. We had a really good group and some of them are in coaching. I’m proud of their lives and what they’re doing.
RC: When you accepted the position in the spring of 2020, the transfer portal was still in its genesis and NIL had not been introduced, a stark contrast from today’s college hoops reality. That’s a lot to tackle in your first Division I gig. How do you think you’ve handled all of it?
MM: I don’t think anyone could have predicted this. It was a drastic change. I’m in the front nine of my career, so I couldn’t imagine what it’s been like for the coaches on their back nine in how they’ve approached recruiting and retention. It used to be ‘Hey, I’ve got an in with this player, I’ve known this player for a while, we’ve built a good relationship, they can trust me’ which now seems secondary to the monetary benefits they can receive. But you learn to adapt, and I think that’s very important and I think we’ve done a good job in the portal. We don’t have a mass exodus in our sports here, but we’ve been able to bring some players in because of our reputation and the resources. It’s a good destination city.
RC: Have you been keeping tabs on Drury?
MM: Oh yeah. Amy Eagan, who took over when I left, is now at (Division I) Lindenwood and doing great things and building that program. Kaci Bailey (Drury’s current coach) is doing a great job. Their athletic director, Nyla Milleson, has come full circle because she was my coach at Drury and now she’s running the whole department. I talk to her often and she is one of my best mentors and friends.
RC: Have you noticed an increase in overall talent at the Division II level since the introduction of the portal?
MM: I think (the portal) allows you to find your correct level. Some of these who didn’t get as much as an opportunity they would have liked at Division I, they can really shine somewhere else.
RC: Seventeen consecutive wins is impressive. How has your team handled the attention that has come the streak?
MM: That’s not locker room talk for us. Last night we said ‘Great win, but now we’re 0-0.’ We have a target on our back, so the challenge of this team is understanding what it means to get everyone’s best shot. Records are thrown out the window. If they beat GCU, that’s their Super Bowl and a feather in their cap. That’s the big challenge, not getting wrapped up in (the streak), but to push yourself and prepare for every team the same. They say losing is tough, but I say sustained winning is even harder. For us that’s the challenge this year, but it’s definitely a testament to where our program has been, where it is and where it’s going.
RC: How big was it to beat both of Arizona’s major instiutions (Arizona and Arizona State) this season? That must carry a lot of weight, especially in the Phoenix and Tucson areas.
MM: You can put us in their category. I always felt like we could get there and that we belong and now we’ve proven that to the outside world. Internally, we go into those games thinking we can win and we’ve proven this is the next step for the program. Then we also beat Northern Arizona, which would been a flop if we lost to them after beating the two biggest schools in the state. We are happy to be on this level. It’s a testament to the administration and resources that have been poured into this school. You can only go as far as your school supports you, so it’s kind of a reflection of what they’re doing to get to that next level.

Q: How does Molly Miller’s experience at Kickapoo High School and Drury University help her succeed at Grand Canyon University as a head coach?
A: Molly Miller’s experience as a standout athlete and successful coach at both Kickapoo High School and Drury University have undoubtedly played a crucial role in her rise to prominence at Grand Canyon University. As a former standout player at Kickapoo, where she led her team to a state championship, Miller learned the value of hard work, dedication, and leadership on and off the court. These qualities have undoubtedly helped her transition into a successful head coach at the collegiate level.
Additionally, Miller’s time as an assistant coach and later head coach at Drury University allowed her to refine her coaching skills, develop her own coaching philosophy, and build a winning program. Under her leadership, Drury achieved unprecedented success, including multiple conference championships and deep runs in the NCAA Division II tournament.
Now, at Grand Canyon University, Miller has continued to build on her past success and establish herself as one of the rising stars in Division I women’s basketball. Her experience, work ethic, and passion for the game have all contributed to her rapid ascent in the coaching ranks, and it’s clear that her future in the sport is bright.

More claims about Ryan Reynolds resurfaced on social media in recent days, as the star is caught up in an ugly lawsuit between his wife Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Comedian TJ Miller, 43, claimed Reynolds, 48, was ‘horrifically mean’ to him on set and ‘insecure’ in a 2022 The Adam Corolla Show podcast interview that has now gone viral again.
The comments have remerged in the wake of ugly dueling lawsuits filed between Reynolds’s wife Blake Lively, 37, and her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni.
Baldoni, who has denied her allegations, subsequently filed a $400million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Soane, in which he claimed the trio attempted to defame him in the aftermath of the release of their hit film.
Miller played Deadpool’s close friend Weasel who runs a bar for mercenaries in Ryan’s hit film franchise.

In his Adam Corolla Show interview, Miller claimed that he felt tension between himself and Reynolds on set.
‘As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me,’ Miller claimed, before sharing an alleged incident from the filming of the second film. ‘But to me. As if I’m Weasel.’
The Big Hero 6 star continued, ‘He was like, “You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it’s funny and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.”‘
Miller said he ‘kind of listened and thought it was weird’ before walking away after the director called cut.
The Yogi Bear actor alluded to Reynolds possibly being ‘insecure’ for some reason, though he didn’t seem exactly sure why.
‘That’s exactly why he said that,’ Miller claimed. ‘Because I’m not funnier than he is at all, right? And I haven’t been in more movies than him.’
‘He’s such a good comedian that, when you cover his face, he’s so quick, he’s so funny. I love him as a comedian, but I think after he got super, super famous from the first Deadpool, then things kinda changed. I think he was like, ‘”See? You guys see?”‘
DailyMail.com has reached out to Reynolds for comment.

‘Would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again,’ Miller said; seen in 2016 in Santa Monica, Calif.
Despite the alleged strangeness between the two stars, Miller was quick to say that he held no ill will when it came to Reynolds.
‘Would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again,’ he said. ‘I sorta wish him well, because he’s so good at Deadpool, and I think it’s weird that he hates me.’
He continued, ‘I don’t wish them any ill will. I think [Ryan] should make a Deadpool 3 and continue to make movies. I just think he doesn’t like me, and I thought it was weird how he expressed that.’
At the time of Miller’s 2022 interview, Reynolds confirmed that he would be returning for a third Deadpool film, which eventually became the duo movie Deadpool & Wolverine, which arrived in theaters in July of 2024.
Miller had already filmed his scenes for Deadpool 2 when he was accused of sexual assault in 2017. In 2018 when the movie was released, the actor was arrested for allegedly making a fake bomb threat on a train, the case was eventually dismissed.
He was also accused of bullying his co-star from the TV show Silicon Valley, Alice Wetterlund on set, which he denied. He was not asked to return as Weasel in Reynolds’ third movie Deadpool & Wolverine.
Despite the apparent bad blood between Miller and Reynolds, just days after the 2022 interview, Miller claimed on the Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show that the two had patched up their differences.
‘It was really cool, he emailed me the next day,’ Miller said. ‘It was a misunderstanding, so I emailed him back and now it’s, like, fine.’
He also claimed that his initial complaints were misconstrued, and it was just a story from on set that he found ‘weird.’

After Deadpool & Wolverine had been released to staggering success at the box office, Miller changed his tune and expressed interest in returning for a fourth film in the series.
‘We talked a little while ago,’ he said of Reynolds while appearing on SiriusXM’s The Bonfire. ‘I think him asking me, I think he’s just been such a good friend right now that I think it would be really, I think that would be awesome.’
Miller has had a troubled life away from his career. An anonymous woman who had previously attended George Washington Univeristy with Miller told The Daily Beast in 2001 that Miller had become violent with her during a sexual encounter they had in college.
She accused him of choking and shaking her and even punching her in the mouth during the alleged incident, which other people interviewed corroborated.
Reporting from The Daily Beast revealed that the university had been alerted to the woman’s claims in 2001, and he was allegedly expelled as the result of disciplinary hearings.
In 2019 Miller claimed that the woman was jealous because she thought his wife Kate Miller, whom he married in 2015, had ‘stole[n] her life.’
Miller’s career took another negative turn in April of 2018, when he was arrested at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York City.
Miller (seen with his wife Kate in 2019 in NYC) was accused in 2017 of having been expelled in 2001 after allegedly sexually assaulting and punching a woman during sex. He was arrested in 2018 for making a fake bomb threat on an Amtraik train
Federal charges related to a fake bomb threat were filed against him, and a Department of Justice press release accused him of making an emergency call on an Amtrak train in which he claimed that a woman onboard had a bomb in her bag.
The train was subsequently stopped and evacuated, and no explosive materials were found, but witnesses told investigators that Miller appeared to be heavily intoxicated and had previously had an altercation with a woman in the train’s first-class car before he was kicked off due to his alleged intoxication.
Miller was released on a $100,000 bond after appearing in federal court in Connecticut, and charges were dropped in 2021 after prosectors said that a brain surgery that he had in 2010 that may have had lasting neurological effects that could have influenced his behavior.
As part of the agreement to dismiss the charges, Miller agreed to repay law enforcement for costs related to investigation his false 911 call, and he agreed to undergo a program of ‘cognitive remediation’ to ensure that no similar incidents would occur.
Last week, Justin Baldoni escalated his legal war of words with Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively when he filed a $400 million against the two and her publicist, accusing them conspiring to trash his reputation with sexual harassment allegations that Lively previously made.
In court papers obtained by DailyMail.com, Baldoni accused Lively of hijacking the filming of their romantic drama It Ends With Us — which he directed.
He also accused her and her Deadpool star husband of ruining his experience of the film’s premiere by forcing him and his family to wait in a basement holding area surrounded by overstocked concession stand offerings and security guards to ensure that she wouldn’t see him in the theater.
In response to Baldoni’s new lawsuit, Lively’s attorneys issued a fiery statement to DailyMail.com, declaring: ‘This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook.’

They added: ‘This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim. This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender.’
The statement claimed Baldoni’s production company Wayfarer Studios ‘opted to use the resources of its billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch meritless lawsuits, and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against sexual harassment allegations.’
Lively’s attorneys added: ‘They are trying to shift the narrative to Ms. Lively by falsely claiming that she seized creative control and alienated the cast from Mr. Baldoni. The evidence will show that the cast and others had their own negative experiences with Mr. Baldoni and Wayfarer.
‘The evidence will also show that Sony asked Ms. Lively to oversee Sony’s cut of the film, which they then selected for distribution and was a resounding success.’
They continued: ‘Their response to sexual harassment allegations: she wanted it, it’s her fault. Their justification for why this happened to her: look what she was wearing.’
The statement concluded: ‘In short, while the victim focuses on the abuse, the abuser focuses on the victim. The strategy of attacking the woman is desperate, it does not refute the evidence in Ms. Lively’s complaint, and it will fail.’
In a shocking turn of events, a resurfaced viral interview has exposed Ryan Reynolds’ “horrifically mean” treatment of his Deadpool costar TJ Miller. The interview, which was conducted years ago but has recently gained traction online, reveals the ugly truth behind the on-set dynamics between the two actors.
According to the interview, Reynolds was allegedly verbally abusive towards Miller, belittling him and making derogatory comments about his acting abilities. The revelations have sparked outrage among fans, who have condemned Reynolds for his behavior towards his costar.
This news comes amid a series of lawsuits filed against Reynolds by actor Justin Baldoni, who has accused the Deadpool star of mistreatment and discrimination on the set of their upcoming film. The lawsuits paint a disturbing picture of Reynolds as a tyrannical and abusive figure behind the scenes.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Reynolds will respond to these damning allegations. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
At an inauguration-eve rally in Washington last weekend, celebrities took turns firing up the jubilant crowd of Trump supporters who had gathered to herald the dawn of a new American age — among them Jon Voight, Dana White and Kid Rock.
But it was not the Hollywood actor, the UFC frontman or the rock star who won the biggest roar from the Maga faithful. Instead it was a policy wonk, Stephen Miller, the architect of Donald Trump’s second-term policy agenda and anti-immigration ideologue.
“They were so sure they were going to crush this movement out of existence,” bellowed Miller as his fiery eight-minute address reached a peak. “And yet here we stand today and Maga is stronger, more powerful, more united and more determined than ever before.” The crowd went wild.
Since returning to the Oval Office, Trump has wasted no time in signing a blizzard of executive orders aimed at boosting oil production, curbing immigration, scrapping diversity initiatives and pardoning January 6 rioters, to name just a few. As the president put his name to the directives, Miller, the mastermind behind them, was standing just metres away.
“Stephen, like the president, believes that we have a finite amount of time to save our country,” says Jason Miller (no relation), a former Trump spokesperson. “For these early actions, I would say that Stephen is the key implementer-in-chief.”
Miller has been a Trump devotee from the early days of his first presidential campaign in 2016. Then a 30-year-old adviser, he crafted policy from behind a card table in a closet-sized office on the fifth floor of Trump tower.
Associates say his attention to detail stood out from the start. “During discussion on policy he always knew the most about any topic being discussed — from 150-year-old esoteric immigration provisions to international postal treaties,” says Hunter Morgen, his former deputy.
Miller’s loyalty has paid off. According to Mick Mulvaney, chief of staff during Trump’s first administration, “Stephen is probably . . . the closest to the president of anybody in the West Wing at this point, now that the family is not there. He’s going to be one of the critical players. He’s been with the president probably the longest of anybody who’s in there. The president trusts him implicitly.”
As he returns to the White House a battle-hardened policy veteran, Democrats are on high alert. “He’s the second most dangerous man in America after the president — and unlike the president he actually knows what he’s doing,” says Jim Manley, a former longtime aide to the Senate Democratic leadership.
Miller was born in Santa Monica, California in 1985. His rightwing zeal was apparent early. As a 16-year-old, he called into radio shows and wrote to local newspapers, railing against the “rampant political correctness” he said was consuming his high school.
In a 2002 letter published in the Santa Monica Lookout, he hit out at bilingual announcements, the availability of contraception, the “foster[ing]” of homosexuality, the failure to recite the pledge of allegiance and the negative depiction of US history. “Forget about being the nation that stopped Hitler, brought communism to its knees, and feeds more hungry people around the world than any other country — forget all of that, and let us just agree that we are a horrible nation. Or, we can raise our flags, lift our guns, and proclaim that we are Americans,” he wrote.
After studying at Duke University, he entered Republican politics, where he quickly made a name for himself. Former Tea Party congresswoman Michele Bachmann remembers him as a “serious, tireless communications director who quickly proved his intellect and talent”. Dave Brat, the economics professor who Miller helped oust House majority leader Eric Cantor in 2014, says he was a “straight shooter” who put “empirics” over “emotion”.
But it was with Alabama senator Jeff Sessions that he honed his skills as a hype-man. Sessions previously told the Financial Times that he had asked Miller, then a staffer in his Senate office, to introduce him at an event when someone pulled out. Miller was so good in the role, according to Sessions, that he became a regular fixture.
During the 2016 presidential race, Sessions was one of the first Republicans to endorse Trump and Miller soon joined the real estate tycoon on the campaign trail. Trump often used the young ideologue as a warm-up act.
But it was in policy that Miller would make himself invaluable, putting into action the president’s anti-immigration plans. During Trump’s first term he shaped nativist policies including the separation of families, the shortlived so-called Muslim travel ban and the ending of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca) programme.
Groups representing immigrants fear his return to the heart of government. “We are deeply, deeply concerned,” says Vanessa Cárdenas, director of America’s Voice, an NGO. “It is incredibly troubling that he is back and frankly in charge of immigration policy — and also has tentacles all over our government.”
While immigration might be his driver, Miller plans to make his mark in other areas too — reshaping America’s relationship with the world and overhauling what he sees as a “corrupt and broken” system at home. “How is Stephen spending his days,” asks Mulvaney. “It’s immigration, immigration, immigration, then trade policy, then the deep state.”
Stephen Miller has been a key figure in the Trump administration, serving as a senior policy advisor and implementing some of the most controversial and restrictive immigration policies. Known for his hardline stance on immigration and his role in shaping Trump’s “America First” agenda, Miller has been at the forefront of the administration’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and limit legal immigration.
From the travel ban targeting predominantly Muslim countries to the family separation policy at the border, Miller has been instrumental in pushing through policies that have sparked outrage and condemnation both domestically and internationally. He has been criticized for his extreme views on immigration and his role in shaping policies that have been widely seen as discriminatory and inhumane.
Despite facing backlash and calls for his resignation, Miller has remained a powerful and influential figure in the administration, using his position to push through his agenda and enforce the president’s vision for a more restrictive immigration system. As Trump’s implementer-in-chief, Miller has been a driving force behind some of the most controversial policies of the administration, leaving a lasting impact on the country’s immigration system.

“It’s one of those bittersweet things where you’re happy for the victory, but unfortunate news on Brandon,” Hornets coach Charles Lee said after Friday’s game.
Miller, a 2023 first-round pick out of Alabama, finishes his sophomore season averaging 21 points, 3.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. He had missed six games earlier this season with a left ankle sprain.
Injuries have been a significant obstacle for the Hornets this season, contributing to an 11-29 record that’s the third-worst in the Eastern Conference.
The Charlotte Hornets have announced that guard Brandon Miller will be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a ligament in his wrist. Miller suffered the injury during a recent game and opted to undergo surgery to fully repair the damage.
This news comes as a blow to the Hornets, as Miller has been a key player for the team this season, averaging double-digit points and providing solid defense on the court. His absence will surely be felt as the team looks to make a playoff push.
We wish Brandon Miller a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the court next season. In the meantime, the Hornets will need to rely on their depth and resilience to fill the void left by Miller’s absence. #GetWellSoonBrandon #CharlotteHornets.
