The controversy surrounding T.J. Miller continues…
On Tuesday, after a woman accused the former Silicon Valley star of assault in college, Danielle Solzman, a transgender film critic, says the 36-year-old actor sent her a “transphobic” email earlier this year.

The writer originally published the redacted email in September, and says it was sent to her in early August, one week after his film The Emoji Movie was released.
I got this email in early August. I stayed quiet and while it’s redacted, I’m too scared to name them for fear of legal threats against me. pic.twitter.com/J2kA5t1vW7

In the email, Miller reportedly says the critic — referring to her as “Daniel” — threw shade and called him “offensive,” even though the comedian has given her only “kindness and support.” The letter reads:
“You’re not a transgender, you’re not a tranny- your a fucking asshole daniel. A fucking asshole. Don’t respond to this don’t ever contact me again…”
Additionally, Miller reportedly says he has “had sex with transgender people” and has “donated widely to organizations that support their freedom.”
Miller is potentially referencing Solzman’s August 2017 article titled “I Won’t See The Emoji Movie,“ where the critic slams Sony Pictures Animation for not offering a press screening.
Earlier that day, Solzman referred to Miller as her “abuser,” and wants his roles in Deadpool 2 and Ready Player One to be recast.
With today’s news, it is in the best interests for both #Deadpool2 and #ReadyPlayerOne to recast the roles played by TJ Miller. I like @VancityReynolds and Steven Spielberg but I will not support or cover any TV show or film in which Miller is involved.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me today. I’m happy to see my abuser’s name finally out there. It hasn’t been easy keeping silent after getting anonymous texts threatening legal action, a defamation lawsuit, and deadnaming me repeatedly. Happy to see a career end!
