  • Ezra Miller seeking treatment for ‘complex mental health issues’, apologises for past behaviour

    By PTI

    LOS ANGELES: Addressing their string of controversies for the first time, “The Flash” star Ezra Miller have said they are suffering “from complex mental health issues” and have started treatment.

    Miller has been making headlines since March when they were arrested twice in Hawaii, including for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar.

    The second incident was for second-degree assault.

    Earlier this month, the actor was charged with felony burglary in Stamford, Vermont.

    In a statement issued to entertainment outlet Variety by a representative of the actor, Miller also apologised for their past actions.

    “Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment. I want to apologize to everyone that I have been alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life,” they said.

    The embattled actor, who is non-binary and uses they and them pronouns, played the DC Comics character Barry Allen aka The Flash in 2017’s “Justice League” and “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, the 2021 director’s cut of the film.

    Miller’s role in the superhero book franchise, next project being “The Flash” standalone movie from Warner Bros/DC, appeared to be in trouble following a string of scandals.

    The film is scheduled to be released on June 23, 2023.

    In the Hawaii incidents, the actor pled no contest to a single count of misdemeanour disorderly conduct and paid a USD 500 fine and USD 30 in court costs.

    The harassment charge was dismissed.

    In 2020, a video of Miller’s surfaced online in which they appeared to be choking a woman outside of a bar in Iceland.

    No charges were filed.

    A source close to the studio says that Warner Bros supports Miller’s decision to seek professional help.

  • Ezra Miller back on ‘The Flash’ set amid controversies

    By IANS

    LOS ANGELS: Actor Ezra Miller is still very much part of ‘The Flash’ movie despite their mounting issues. The actor was reportedly recently back to work on the film set amid their legal controversies.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 29-year-old returned to the set for additional filming earlier this year, reports aceshowbiz.com.

    “Miller participated in regularly scheduled additional photography over the summer, apparently without incident,” the site reported.

    Miller has been facing several allegations while they are staying low-key. Back in March, the ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’ star was arrested in Hawaii for disorderly conduct following an alleged physical altercation with patrons after having hurled obscenities at clients at a karaoke bar.

    In April, Miller was taken into custody for second-degree assault by Leilani Estates Subdivision police authorities in Pahoa for allegedly throwing a chair, which hit a 26-year-old woman and left a half-inch cut on her forehead, after being told to leave during a private get-together.

    In June, it was reported that Miller was accused of housing a mother and her three young children in their allegedly drug-and-gun-filled Vermont farmhouse.

    The parents of 18-year-old activist Tokata Iron Eyes also requested a temporary order of protection against the actor, claiming Miller reportedly used “violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs” to hold sway over their child.

    Most recently, Miller was charged with felony burglary in Vermont.

    The ‘Justice League’ star was accused of stealing bottles of alcohol from a private property in May and is due to be arraigned on September 26.

    Despite Miller’s legal issues, Warner Bros. reportedly still has no intention to shelve the movie or replace the actor.

    David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, recently spoke about the movie, “We have seen ‘The Flash’, ‘Black Adam’ and ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’. “We are very excited about them. We’ve seen them. We think they are terrific, and we think we can make them even better.”

  • ‘The Flash’-star Ezra Miller charged with felony burglary in Vermont

    By Associated Press

    Actor Ezra Miller has been charged with felony burglary in Stamford, Vermont, the latest in a string of incidents involving the embattled star of “The Flash.”

    In a report Monday, Vermont State Police said they responded to a burglary complaint in Stamford on May 1 and found several bottles of alcohol were taken from a residence while the homeowners weren’t present. Miller was charged after police consulted surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses.

    The police report said Miller was located shortly before midnight Sunday and was issued a citation to appear for arraignment in Vermont Superior Court on Sept. 26.

    The felony charge adds to Miller’s mounting legal woes and reports of erratic behavior. The 29-year-old actor was arrested twice earlier this year in Hawaii, including for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar. The second incident was for second-degree assault.

    The parents of 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes, a Native American activist, also earlier this year filed a protection order against Miller, accusing the actor of grooming their child and other inappropriate behavior with her as a minor from the age of 12. Tokata Iron Eyes recently told Insider that those allegations were false.

    Attorneys for Miller didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on the Vermont felony charge or the protection order related to Tokata Iron Eyes.

    After appearing in several films for Warner Bros. and D.C. Films as the Flash, Miller stars in the upcoming standalone film “The Flash,” due out in June 2023. Though Warner Bros. last week axed the nearly completed “Batgirl” film, the studio has suggested it remains committed to releasing “The Flash.”

    In an earnings report last week, David Zaslav, chief executive of Warner Bros. Discovery referenced “The Flash.” “We have seen ‘The Flash,’ ‘Black Adam’ and ’Shazam 2. We are very excited about them,” said Zaslav. “We think they are terrific, and we think we can make them even better.”

    Representatives for Warner Bros. didn’t respond to messages Monday.
