Moreover, Miller denied the allegations and called them 100% false, stating,
“From the things that have been brought to my attention, everything is false. ‘Y’all know me!’ But it’s not, this is not that type of situation because domestic violence really happens around the world — for men and women. And it’s a serious situation so I would not pull that card. All I can say is it is just a matter of time before everything gets set straight.
On the other hand, Megan Denise also publicly denied the assault allegations, stating that no such incident occurred.
She highlighted the situation was a huge misunderstanding and that Miller had not harmed her.
Regarding this matter, she said,
“We’re fine, Things were blown way out of context. This is actually outrageous! No one assaulted anyone, This is insane. And sad.”
Also, on October 1, 2024, she posted a message just before the NFL announced Miller’s suspension on Instagram stating,
“October will be filled With love, peace, healing, progress, blessings, happiness and oppurtunity.”
Despite these nonacceptances from both parties, the NFL conducted its own investigation and decided to suspend Miller for four games under its personal conduct policy. This suspension is currently in effect.
Furthermore, this suspension has affected his playing time and brought negative attention to his personal and professional reputation.
However, since no criminal charges were filed, Miller has been able to continue his career.
Despite this, he has a strong track record and could make a significant comeback after his suspension is over.
