US Rep. Max Miller sues his ex-wife for defamation in escalation of long-running divorce feud
The Ohio congressman seeks at least $25,000, saying his ex-wife and her lawyers spread false abuse claims to damage his reputation and campaign.
- Rep. Max Miller filed a defamation lawsuit Wednesday in Cuyahoga County against his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and her legal team, Andrew Zashin and Zashin Law, alleging they spread false abuse claims to destroy his reputation.
- The action follows reports alleging Miller 'hurled' boiling water at Moreno, which he denies, amid a contentious custody battle involving their child.
- Seeking at least $25,000 in damages, Miller claims the allegations cost him 'lost business opportunities' and 'reduced campaign contributions,' with outlets reaching 'circulation measured in the tens of millions.'
- Moreno's spokesperson, Stefan Mychajliw, rejected the lawsuit Thursday, asserting Miller is using the 'same playbook' as in a 2021 case involving former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham.
- Democrat Brian Poindexter is challenging Miller for Ohio's 7th Congressional District, while Miller's spokesperson noted Children and Family Services previously deemed earlier abuse allegations unsubstantiated.
