Episode Description
Eleven days after his church wedding to Mica, JP Miller sent his 23-year-old bride an email. She wanted to come off the psychiatric medication she'd been put on weeks earlier.
Apparently, JP suggested that was "selfish and ungodly" — and if she wouldn't stay on her meds, she couldn't discuss it in his house. He filed that email in court as an exhibit… as evidence of his love…?
Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell put JP's emails next to Mica's own alleged medical records — and the two don't tell the same story. Her clinicians described Mica as Not manic. Not depressed. Not suicidal. What was not written in filed documents was the “schizophrenia” JP proclaimed on TikTok Mica suffered from.
Who was the author of Mica's medical story? Stick a pin in that... 📌 It only gets curiouser, sadder and more infuriating…
