Pastor John-Paul Miller has become the subject of intense scrutiny following the death of his wife, Mica Miller, who was found deceased on April 27, 2024, just days after filing for divorce. The controversy surrounding Miller, a megachurch leader, has intensified with the release of a new Netflix documentary, "Death of the Pastor's Wife," which has prompted renewed public attention and protests outside his church.
Allegations of a "humiliating secret life" have surfaced, including claims of depraved sex demands and kinks. Miller married Suzie Skinner, 51, on June 1, 2025, on the sands of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which was little more than a year after Mica's death. The couple has been accused of having an affair while Mica was still alive.
Mica Miller, 30, had reportedly left her marital home about a month before her death and moved in with her godmother, in what was described as an effort to separate for good.
The controversy has manifested in ongoing protests outside Mercy Church, where demonstrators hold up pictures of Mica Miller and placards with slogans, jeering at anyone who parks nearby.
Miller himself has faced legal issues, including a past charge for assaulting a protester, for which he has a mugshot on file. In more recent times, Miller has reportedly attempted to keep a lower profile, avoiding confrontation and blending in with the public.
Mercy Church, where Miller presides, is situated between a dog groomer and a Colombian barbershop. A tall white fence has been erected to obscure its entrance.
