Pastor John Paul “JP” Miller, who has been under scrutiny following the tragic suicide of his wife, Mica, has laughed off rumors that he remarried Suzie Skinner, the woman he was seen with shortly after his wife’s death.
When approached by Daily Mail over the weekend, Miller pointed to his wedding ring and stated, “I’m still dealing with Mica.”
Tension and Speculation Surrounding Miller’s Personal Life
Miller and Skinner, 49, were spotted together in Myrtle Beach the day after the FBI raided Miller’s home.
The two had lunch at McAlister’s Deli, but they kept a noticeable distance from each other.
Despite their brief and tense 20-minute visit, local rumors continue to swirl about their relationship.
While many in the area believe the two have tied the knot, Daily Mail found no official record of a marriage. Miller, however, dismissed these claims, insisting that they have not married.
The pastor, who was previously accused of contributing to his wife’s suicide, declined to comment on the FBI raid, referring all inquiries to his attorney.
“You would be shocked if you knew the truth versus what is out there,” Miller said, hinting at more behind the scenes than what has been reported.
Legal Drama and Subpoenas: The FBI’s Investigation
As the investigation into Miller intensifies, it’s been revealed that Mica’s divorce lawyer received a subpoena before the FBI’s raid, pointing to possible links between the investigation and the couple’s troubled marriage.
Regina Ward, Mica’s attorney, confirmed that she was asked to provide documents well before the raid took place on Friday.
She described the FBI as a highly professional agency, emphasizing their meticulousness in ensuring everything was in order for the search warrant execution.
Ward, who previously represented Mica in her divorce proceedings, has long alleged that Miller exhibited abusive behavior towards his wife.
She has called Miller a “narcissist” who sought to control Mica completely, depriving her of any sense of personal happiness.
The Dark Side of Miller’s Past
Mica filed for divorce in October 2023, citing Miller’s infidelity and abusive behavior.
The couple’s marriage had been crumbling for months, and Mica tragically took her own life in April 2024 at Lumber River State Park.
She had purchased a gun just hours before her death, and supporters have claimed Miller’s actions contributed to her decision.
Miller’s handling of Mica’s death sparked further outrage when he casually referred to her passing as “self-induced” during a sermon at Market Common Church.
This remark, along with his behavior following her death, has drawn widespread criticism, especially when it was revealed that just days after Mica’s suicide, he was seen socializing with Skinner.
FBI Raid and Public Outcry
The FBI raid at Miller’s home came just after Mica’s family reached a confidential settlement with him, concluding their legal action against him.
While the details of the settlement remain sealed, it has sparked even more public scrutiny of Miller’s actions and his financial dealings.
Mica’s family had requested a forensic investigation into the couple’s finances, and evidence of potential “fraudulent transfers” of marital property has been uncovered.
This raid follows earlier allegations against Miller, including claims by his first wife, Alison, that Miller confessed to engaging in inappropriate behavior with young girls from his church.
Mica also accused him of grooming her from a young age, a claim Miller denies, though he admitted to posting a nude photo of her online prior to her death.
The Church and School Fallout
Miller’s leadership at Solid Rock Ministries has also faced significant fallout.
Amid ongoing investigations and public controversy, he has rebranded the church to “Living Water Church at Market Common Inc.” and is seen clearing out items from his Faith First School, where student numbers had dwindled following the scandal.
As Miller’s past continues to haunt him, questions remain about the true nature of his relationship with Skinner, the future of his church, and the ongoing legal probes into his actions.
While the FBI investigation continues, it has cast a shadow over Miller’s once-promising ministry, leaving many wondering what the next chapter in this controversial story will bring.
