The word that gets repeated the most in our coverage of TJ Miller is “douchebag.” TJ Miller is, without question, a massive douchebag. Here’s my question: if he wasn’t a white guy working in the performing arts, would we be calling him something else? Would we be calling him a thug, a degenerate, a f–king mess of a human being? TJ Miller douchebagged his way out of his job on Silicon Valley, and we later learned that he committed about a million fireable offenses before he was eventually allowed to leave on his own terms (imagine if a woman had behaved that way). We also learned that TJ Miller is – allegedly – a violent psycho who possibly raped and brutally assaulted a classmate during his college days. And now surprise, TJ Miller was arrested for calling in a fake bomb threat on Amtrak after he behaved like a psycho douchebag towards a female passenger. The story is just as disturbing as you would think. So if TJ Miller wasn’t so bathed in white male privilege, would we be calling him what he is: a f–king terrorist?

Ex-“Silicon Valley” star TJ Miller caused hours of Amtrak delays when he drunkenly called in a fake bomb threat after a female passenger snubbed his advances, federal authorities said as they announced his arrest Tuesday. Miller was nabbed Monday night at LaGuardia Airport in connection to the March 18 incident after arriving on a flight from Canada – where he performed a comedy show from Thursday through Sunday, law enforcement sources said. The 36-year-old comedian and actor was charged with intentionally conveying to law enforcement false information about an explosive device on a train traveling to Connecticut and faces a maximum five years in jail, the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut announced.

After briefly appearing before a judge at a New Haven federal courthouse Tuesday morning, Miller — a Denver native living in New York – was released after posting a $100,000 bond.

The real-life drama played out when Miller allegedly called a 911 dispatcher in New Jersey and said he was on an Amtrak train traveling from Washington DC toward Penn Station and that a female passenger “has a bomb in her bag,” according to the complaint. Train No. 2256, which Miller said he was on, was then stopped in Connecticut at the Green’s Farms Station in Westport where passengers were ordered to disembark so bomb squad members could search the train. No evidence of any explosive device was detected, the complaint states.

As for what actually happened, the story is very complicated. Basically, Miller claimed to be on Train 2256, but he was actually on Train 2258, in the first class car, where he was getting absolutely hammered and then screaming at a woman who gave him a dirty look. He then decided to drunkenly call 911 and claim that there was a woman with a bomb in her purse on the train.

The attendant said that Miller “appeared intoxicated” upon boarding the train in Washington and that while on the train guzzled down two glasses of wine and two “double scotch and soda” drinks. Miller, the attendant said, had “exchanged profanity with a female” sitting in a different row from him in the first class car, the complaint says. When an Amtrak police officer contacted Miller by phone as law enforcement first responded to Train No. 2256 – the wrong train Miller was on — he said he had gotten off the train in New York and said a woman with red hair and a red scarf kept checking her bag without taking anything out. In his 911 call, he said the woman had brown hair. The officer noticed slurring in Miller’s voice and asked him if he had consumed alcohol that day to which he replied that he consumed “one glass of red wine.”

When asked if he suffered from mental illness, Miller replied: “No, absolutely not. This is the first time I’ve ever made a call like this before. I am worried for everyone on that train. Someone has to check that lady out,” according to the complaint.

Investigators later determined that Miller and the unidentified woman were involved in a beef on the train. The woman told officers that Miller was warned more than once by the train attendant for speaking on the phone too loudly and while he was on his phone, the woman looked at him and he said, “Hey, why are you looking at me?” the complaint says. Before Miller called 911, he and the woman had a “screaming match” on the train, an attendant said.

The woman – who officers said smelled of alcohol – denied having a loud argument with Miller, “but reported that at some point he directed a comment to her about her hair; the comment was unwelcome, and she turned to look at Miller in a non-friendly manner,” the complaint says. Miller then barked at her, saying “What are you lookin’ at?” the complaint states. The woman described Miller’s behavior during the train trip as “loud and belligerent.”

According to the complaint, Miller and the woman engaged in a “hostile encounter.” It was was “apparently initiated by Miller, which by [the woman’s] recollection amounted to her rebuffing his social overture and his responding negatively; and that Miller already had been manifesting a belligerent behavior pattern throughout the trip.” Miller, according to officials, was “motivated by a grudge against the subject female, called 911 to relay false information about a suspected bomb on the train, and continued to convey false information to investigators while the public safety response was ongoing.”

While this doesn’t seem like the crux of the story, Miller was attempting to “punish” this particular female passenger specifically, correct? This woman on the train is the one he was describing to 911, right? In his f–ked up head, he thought he was pulling a fast one – he thought “I’ll show this bitch, I’ll make it so she’s detained for hours as a terrorist, all because she had the nerve to not find me adorable and charming.” Toxic masculinity. Terrorism. I hope he’s sent to jail for a very long time.
