In November, Von Miller of the Buffalo Bills faced an arrest warrant after being accused of assaulting his pregnant girlfriend, Megan Denise.
The incident involved physical violence, such as shoving, hair yanking, and placing hands around the neck, stemming from a disagreement over travel plans.
The confrontation escalated when Denise moved to another room, prompting Miller’s visible anger and forceful actions like slamming doors. Despite Denise’s pleas, including mentioning her pregnancy, Miller allegedly persisted in aggressive behavior, even stepping on her feet, applying pressure to her neck, and damaging her belongings.
The climax involved Miller forcefully pushing Denise onto a sofa.
After Denise threatened to involve the police, Miller left the scene, later turning himself in, posting a $5,000 bond, and being released.
Miller faced a third-degree felony charge related to assaulting a pregnant person.
Later, Von’s girlfriend, Megan Denise, however, later retracted her assault claims, stating in a text message that no one assaulted anyone.

Now, a month later, Von Miller broke his silence on the domestic violence allegations, denying any wrongdoing.
As reported by the New York Post, Miller spoke to reporters, saying:
“Me and my girlfriend, we have problems just like any other couple does, but there has never been any of those things that were alleged against me.”
He expressed hope that time would clear up the situation and insisted that the reports were completely wrong and blown out of proportion.
Miller acknowledged the severity of domestic situations but asserted:
“Never in any of my relationships did any of those things happen. It is 100 percent false. It’s overblown, and I have the right people on the job.” He also clarified, “The only thing that is true is we do have a third son on the way.”
