T.J. Miller accused of sexual and physical assault, Comedy Central cancels show

Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Former Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller has been accused of physical and sexual assault by an anonymous woman he dated while attending George Washington University in 2001.

The woman came forward with her accusations to The Daily Beast saying that Miller assaulted her on two separate occasions including being punched in the mouth during sex and being choked and penetrated anally without her consent.

"He just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right," she said of the second incident. "He choke[d] me, and I kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop... I couldn't say anything."

The anonymous woman's claims were corroborated by five others who attended George Washington University. The woman says she came forward due to the numerous sexual assault allegations that have rocked Hollywood.

Miller denied the allegations on Instagram by posting a joint statement he made with his wife, actress Kate Gomey, alongside a photo of the couple embracing each other.

"We stand together in stating this is nothing more than an unfortunate resurgence of her lies designed to wreak havoc on two happily married people in the public eye," the statement reads after saying that the woman had attempted to break the pair up in college and that she was kicked out of the university's comedy group due to "disturbing behavior."

"Sadly she is now using the current climate to bandwagon and launch these false accusations again. It is unfortunate that she is choosing this route as it undermines the important movement to make women feel safe coming forward about legitimate claims against real known predators," Miller and Gomey continued.

"We stand together and will not allow this person to take advantage of a serious movement toward gender equality by allowing her to use this moment to muddy the water with an unrelated personal agenda. We feel we all have an obligation now more than ever to prevent people from using reporters to spin lies into headlines, and focus instead on what is real."

Miller's Comedy Central late night program The Gorburger Show, was canceled on Tuesday, the same day the woman's accusations were published.

A spokesman for the network said to Deadline, however, that the decision not to keep the program was made before the woman's story was known.

The Gorburger Show aired for two seasons consisting of 19 episodes and featured Miller voicing the title character, a blue alien monster who had taken over a Japanese variety show. The series featured celebrity interviews and musical guests, among other segments.
