Miller denied wrongdoings and Denise issued a statement on social media shortly after, according to. the New York Post.

Denise's statement began, “In light of recent media reports regarding my relationship with Von, I feel that I need to address a couple of things. First and foremost, at no point in our relationship was there any type of physical abuse or violence by Von, whatsoever."

"For anyone to say otherwise, or to speculate such, is wrong," she continued. “With regards to my social media posts, a part was misconstrued and taken out of context. I do regret making a private situation public, and in doing so, bringing unwanted attention to both Von and myself. Von and I are excited to be welcoming our baby into the world, and are committed to raising our child with love and compassion, together as a family.”
