While we must use the word “alleged” around when discussing TJ Miller’s alleged assault incidents and allegations (which make up their own section on his Wikipedia page), we certainly don’t have to caveat the following statement with the word as its purely my opinion: T.J. Miller absolutely sucks.
Not only does he have a litany of allegations (including this 2017 report from The Daily Beast detailing the alleged sexual assault incident) made against him, but his style of comedy just isn’t all that funny. Frankly, the funniest thing about him is his voice.
After flirting with some semblance of fame a few years back thanks to performances as Erlich Bachman in HBO’s Silicon Valley and as Weasel in the Deadpool films, Miller’s career has completely cratered in recent years due to those aforementioned allegations.
Despite the fact that he’s struggling to find Hollywood work these days, Miller clearly doesn’t have any self-awareness about the situation as he recently publicly wondered why Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds “hates” him now.
Former Deadpool star T.J. Miller says that he thinks it’s “weird” that Ryan Reynolds “hates him” now
During a recent appearance on The Adam Carolla Show (nice guest get, dude!), Miller detailed the way uncouth Reynolds would treat him on set (perhaps Reynolds knew there was something off with the dude) and said that he thinks it’s “weird that he hates me.”
“As the character, he was, like, horrifically mean to me. But to me. As if I’m Weasel,” Miller explained on The Adam Carolla Show. “He was like, ‘You know what’s great about you, Weasel? You’re not the star, but you do just enough exposition that it’s funny, and then we can leave and get back to the real movie.'”
“I just kind of listened and thought it was weird, and then I got off stage because they were like, ‘Cut…?,'” he said, adding that the crew seemed uncomfortable after the scene, too.
“Would I work with him again? No. I would not work with him again,” he said. “I sorta wish him well because he’s so good at Deadpool, and I think it’s weird that he hates me.”
Surely Ryan Reynolds, perhaps the most powerful actor in Hollywood these days, is utterly broken up about the fact that Miller will no longer work with him.
TJ, here’s some advice for you: perhaps try looking inward instead of outward. That’s where you’ll find the answers you seek.
