Max Miller Denies Domestic Abuse Allegations as Ex-Wife Emily Moreno Seeks Restraining Order
Republican Representative Max Miller is vigorously denying allegations of domestic abuse and child injury made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, as his reelection campaign continues. Emily Moreno filed for a restraining order to block Miller from contacting her legal team, alleging he has been harassing and threatening her counsel during their ongoing custody battle. Moreno alleges that Miller physically assaulted her during their marriage, including incidents where he allegedly threw her against a wall and held a gun to her head. She also claims Miller may have caused their two-year-old daughter to suffer a broken collarbone, though police reports ultimately found the child abuse allegations to be unsubstantiated. Miller maintains that the facts speak for themselves, citing his joint custody of their daughter as evidence against the accusations. He has also accused Moreno of being mentally unwell and of making false claims to ruin his reputation. While Democrats have called for a House Ethics Committee investigation into the matter, Miller continues to campaign for his seat in Ohio's 7th District.
