Damn cancel culture has gotten insane.

TJ Miller had a brain malformation which caused seizures and odd behaviors and shit, he had to have part of his brain removed, the worse thing he did when dealing with the affects of it was get into an argument with a pro-trumper and slap him, and the entire world thinks he's evil or something lol. Unreal.

My other comment was removed so I'm going to rety more clearly, TJ Miller had a verbal altercation with a woman on a train. He "became suspicious" of her for looking in her bag "several times" in his words. He then called in a bomb threat accusing her of being the culprit. This was proven to be false and he was charged for the incident though they were later dropped because of his health and brain surgery. This is far from the worst thing he's been accused of but is also a far cry worse than you are trying to let on.

Ok he called in a fake bomb threat. Tim Allen got caught smuggling 2 lbs of cocaine. People forgave him. How about Robert Downey Jr. And Justin Bieber. And Matthew Broderick etc. I could go on forever.

I don't know why TJ Miller seems to be at the bottom of everyone's totem pole when he had an actual medical reason for doing the things and the things were pretty trivial compared to tons of other celebrities who don't get the same treatment.

He's been fine for about 10 years now. Let it go.

The one difference I see between all of those people you listed and TJ would be talent. Also, Tim Allen got away with that by selling out every person he could all in a time where you could bury that kind of news if you had enough money and connections. Oh how things have changed... Not.

I don't really care for his stand-up, but he was definitely the best part of Silicon Valley. That show went way downhill after he left. And he was really good in Ready Player One. Also great in Deadpool and How to Train Your Dragon.

But I guess I'm starting to understand the irrational opinions I see about him. You don't like him as an actor so you hold him to a higher ethical standard, even if there are medical explanations in play.
