Rep. Max Miller denies recording with Meta glasses during custody hearing

In a July 28 custody hearing, Rep. Max Miller was seen wearing Meta smart glasses, prompting Emily Moreno’s lawyers to demand the device for forensic review, alleging it could have recorded their deliberations. The filing highlighted that Miller had never previously worn eyewear to a hearing and noted his history of covert recordings, referencing Ohio’s single-party consent rule. Miller’s representatives filed a sworn affidavit asserting he was not recording and labeled the motion as an attempt to generate negative publicity.

The glasses dispute unfolds against a backdrop of long-standing tension between Miller and Moreno’s attorney Andrew Zashin, including prior accusations of provocation and false statements under oath. The custody battle also features abuse allegations, a police-reported hand-print bruise on the child’s shoulder, and a domestic-violence case that was dismissed in July. Additional context mentions former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham’s past defamation suit against Miller and a recent court order removing contentious social-media posts from both parties. Both Miller and Moreno’s spokespeople declined further comment.
