T.J. Miller Accuses Ryan Reynolds Of Being 'Horrifically Mean' On 'Deadpool' Set
In October 2022, Miller made headlines when he opened up about his strained relationship with Reynolds during a podcast interview. He recalled an incident during the filming of "Deadpool" that he described as deeply upsetting.
According to Miller, Reynolds had been “horrifically mean” to him in a way that felt unnecessarily harsh and personal. The experience left such a sour taste that Miller publicly declared he would no longer work with Reynolds. At the time, he said, “I wouldn’t do 'Deadpool 3' if they offered me $1 million.”
"Would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again," Miller said at the time. "I sorta wish him well because he's so good at [playing] Deadpool, and I think it's weird that he hates me."

Miller was taken into custody by LAPD officers and released later that morning without having to post bail, Officer Houser confirmed. The case was eventually settled.
The following year, in 2017, an anonymous woman came forward with allegations of sexual assault against T.J. Miller, accusations that he strongly denied.
According to the woman, the incidents occurred while the two were in a relationship during their time at George Washington University in 2001. In her account, she alleged that Miller physically assaulted her during sex, claiming he strangled her, punched her in the mouth, and engaged in non-consensual anal penetration. She also accused him of later assaulting her with a beer bottle.
Miller denied the allegations, describing them as false and claiming the accusations were part of a coordinated effort to harm his career.
