Miller denied wrongdoing, and Denise issued a statement on social media shortly after. the New York Post.
Denise began her statement by saying, “In light of recent media reports about my relationship with Von, I feel I need to address a few things. First and foremost, at no point in our relationship was there any physical abuse or violence from Von.”
“It is wrong for anyone to say otherwise or to speculate,” she continued. “Regarding my posts on social media, some of it was misinterpreted and taken out of context. I am truly sorry for bringing a private situation to the public and thereby drawing unwanted attention to both Von and myself. Von and I are excited to welcome our baby into the world and are committed to raising our child with love and compassion, together as a family.”
