The grieving mom whose newlywed daughter was killed by a drunk driver as she and her new husband rode in a golf cart on their wedding night claimed Tuesday she is being “bullied” amid a bitter estate battle with her son-in-law.
In a series of videos chronicling her grief over the loss, Lisa Miller said her pain had been exacerbated by others weighing in on the tragedy which took the life of Samantha “Sam” Hutchinson, 34, in April.
“I never thought that if I ever lost my child, I would be bullied on top of the grief that I suffer …” Miller captioned the TikTok clip.
The video featured a still image of a man walking alone through a meadow to the tune of “I’ll Stand By You” by The Pretenders.
A quote displayed upon the scene reads: “Dear Sam, In the end, people will judge you anyway. Don’t live your life impressing others. Live your life impressing yourself.”
When reached by The Post about the source of the bullying, Miller said she had “no comment.”
The video was posted just one day after it was revealed Miller had filed a petition to remove son-in-law Aric Hutchinson as the personal representative of her daughter’s estate.
The filing cited “issues of potential fraud” — implying that the couple’s hours-old marriage could be invalid.
Although Miller’s lawyers asserted the move was to protect the estate, Hutchinson’s legal team slammed the grieving mother’s motion as “frivolous” and “morally questionable.”
The Tuesday video appears to be the latest in a series of notes Miller writes to her late daughter documenting her journey through grief.
Days earlier, Miller shared a handwritten note addressed to Sam Miller expressing her fear about spending her first Christmas without her.
Miller also shared a video of herself crying in a dollar store parking lot as she recounted a “trigger” earlier in the day that sent her into a grief spiral.
She told her 6,000 followers that she broke down at lunch with her surviving daughter Mandy while talking about the act of erasing Sam Miller’s name on her emergency contact forms.
“And it tore my ass up to explain it to Many because it was almost like it was taking her away again,” Miller said.
“I don’t have to be embarrassed for crying or sharing this with you because I want you to know that it’s okay … One little thing can just send you down the deep end and but that’s what grief is like.”
Another video captured the pair enjoying the “mother-daughter” dance at the doomed wedding — with the MC announcing her as “the most important woman in the bride’s life.”
Miller’s social media channel does not discuss the ongoing legal battle against her son-in-law.
Hutchinson had assumed control of his bride’s estate after the golf cart they jetted off in following their wedding reception April 28 in South Carolina was rear-ended by an alleged drunk driver.
A Charleston County probate judge recognized the validity of their marriage May 1 — after Miller had been dead for three days and while Hutchinson was still in a hospital recovering from injuries he sustained in the drunk driving collision.
Miller previously said she had no interest in challenging the validity of the couple’s new marriage, but was pushed into the decision over claims Hutchinson did not want to share the inheritance — which she stated would have gone against her daughter’s wishes.
Hutchinson’s team has rejected the accusations, alleging Miller shot down offers for half of her daughter’s estate.
“Aric and I agreed several times that Sam would want us to do everything together given we’re the two most important people in her life,” Miller said.
Her attorney has also filed, withdrawn and refiled a motion to intervene in a wrongful death suit Hutchinson filed against local bars for serving the accused drunk driver — one expected to procure a lofty settlement.
The driver, Jamie Lee Komoroski, was charged with reckless vehicular homicide and three counts of felony driving under the influence.
Komoroski will be released from jail on bond in March if prosecutors have not brought the 26-year-old to trial by then, the Post and Courier said of a judge’s recent order.
