New Disturbing Allegations Of Domestic Abuse Against Max Miller Come To Light

New Disturbing Allegations Of Domestic Abuse Against Max Miller Come To Light

May 8, 2026

COLUMBUS, OH - A disturbing development surrounding Republican Congressman Max Miller is shedding further light on allegations of domestic abuse from his ex-wife - the daughter of Republican Senator Bernie Moreno. Miller's ex-wife has also accused Miller of abusing drugs.

"Some issues shouldn't be partisan - investigating allegations of abuse and condemning offenders should be one of them, and Max Miller's record of alleged abuse is disgusting for anyone, and is reprehensible for a member of Congress," said Ohio Democratic Party Communications Director Marisa Nahem. "These new details surrounding the allegations of abuse against Max Miller by his ex-wife are horrific - and Ohioans won't accept this in November."

These new disturbing details aren't the first allegations of abuse against Miller and build on his long track record of abuse and dangerous behavior. Ohioans who have known Miller have described him as "a cocky bully with a quick-trigger temper," and someone with "an anger problem," who "could be very scary."

Read more on Miller's pattern of dangerous behavior:

  • Miller's ex-girlfriend, former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, described their relationship as "abusive" in her published memoir, with reporting detailing that Miller pushed Grisham "against a wall and slapped her in the face" in his D.C. apartment, threw a dog toy at her, and grabbed her at the elevator as she tried to leave after arguments.
  • In high school, witnesses detailed how Miller pushed a teenage girl down a flight of stairs in his family home after she resisted his attempts to touch her.
  • Miller has been charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest after punching a man and fleeing police in 2007; cited for speeding twice in 2007 and 2008; cited for criminal mischief after smashing through a glass door during a 2 a.m. confrontation outside a hookah bar in 2010; and, in April 2011, charged with Ohio's equivalent of a DUI.
