Overview
- Max Miller, who filed the complaint Wednesday in Cuyahoga County, seeks at least $25,000 and names Emily Moreno, her attorney Andrew Zashin, and Zashin Law as defendants.
- Miller says Moreno and her lawyers fed and republished false claims to high-traffic outlets, citing coverage by the Daily Mail, TMZ, the Daily Beast, and the New York Post.
- Moreno has accused Miller of throwing boiling water at her in front of their child and shared photos of injuries, which Miller calls lies that harmed his reputation.
- Moreno’s spokesperson says she has a handwritten note in Miller’s words expressing guilt and rejects what he calls an effort to silence her.
- Miller argues the claims cost him business and campaign donations as he runs for another term, and the suit seeks punitive damages and legal fees on top of compensatory relief.
