现年37岁的俄亥俄州共和党众议员Max Miller因前妻和前女友提出的家庭暴力指控面临辞职要求[1]。Miller代表俄亥俄州第七国会选区[1]。
前妻Emily Moreno指控Miller曾用热水泼她,称"他从刚煎鸡蛋的平底锅里舀起热水泼我"[1],并称Miller用枪指着她的头[1]。Miller与Moreno于2022年结婚,2025年12月18日离婚终局确定[1]。Miller对这些指控予以否认,在6月接受采访时表示"这些是虚假指控。从未提交过任何警方报告"[1]。
前女友Stephanie Grisham也指控Miller曾对她施暴[1]。Grisham在2021年华盛顿邮报评论文章中指控一位前伴侣施暴,后来确认指的是Miller[1]。Miller随后对Grisham提起诽谤诉讼,但后来根据保密和解协议撤诉[1]。
枪支暴力防控组织Giffords执行董事Emma Brown发表声明呼吁Miller辞职,称"国会不是暴力施虐者的地方,他们攻击家人,用枪指着妻子的头。Max Miller需要立即辞职"[1]。该组织还呼吁如果Miller不主动辞职,众议院应将其开除[1]。
Ohio Republican congressman Max Miller, 37, representing the state's seventh congressional district, is facing mounting pressure to resign following domestic abuse allegations from two women [1]. His ex-wife Emily Moreno has accused him of scalding her with hot water from a frying pan and pointing a gun at her head, allegations Miller has denied [1]. Moreno and Miller were married in 2022 before their divorce was finalized on December 18, 2025 [1].
Former White House aide Stephanie Grisham has also accused Miller of domestic violence, initially describing the allegations in a 2021 Washington Post opinion piece before later confirming they referred to him [1]. After Miller filed a defamation lawsuit against Grisham, he subsequently withdrew it under a confidential settlement agreement [1]. When interviewed in June, Miller rejected the accusations, stating: "They're false allegations. No police reports were ever filed" [1].
The Giffords gun violence prevention organization has joined calls for Miller's removal from office, with executive director Emma Brown declaring: "Congress is no place for violent abusers who attack their family and hold a gun to their wife's head. Max Miller needs to resign now" [1]. The organization has called for either Miller's resignation or expulsion from Congress [1].
