The controversies surrounding Ezra began in 2020 when a video allegedly showed Miller choking a woman while at a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Two years later, they were arrested several times for assault and burglary, and were also accused of grooming children.
Ezra was accused of inappropriate behavior by the parents of 12-year-old non-binary child, Tokata Iron Eyes (now 20), and also claimed that the star had harassed the family.
That same year, they shared a statement apologizing and also revealed that they were receiving treatment for “complex mental health issues.”
“After recently going through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I suffer from complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller’s representatives said, per Variety.
‘I would like to apologize to everyone for having been alarmed and angered by my past behaviour.’
Finally, Ezra added, “I am committed to doing the necessary work to return to a healthy, safe and productive phase of my life.”
Last June, a temporary protective order against Miller was revoked in the state of Massachusetts. At the time, Miller released a statement on their Instagram page indicating that the TPO was being disbanded.

‘I am encouraged by today’s outcome and am deeply grateful at this time to everyone who stood with me and tried to ensure that this blatant abuse of the protection order system was stopped.’
They said: ‘Protective orders are not intended to be weaponized by those seeking attention or fleeting tabloid fame or some sort of personal revenge, when there are people who really and urgently need these services.’
“Protective orders are intended to provide safety to individuals, families and children who are in danger.”
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower star then added: ‘I have been wrongfully and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive actions…’
Later in the statement, Miller said, “I want everyone to know that I continue to do my best to maintain my own well-being and do what I can to undo the collateral damage this ordeal has caused to me and those close to me.”
“Finally, to all of you many beings in this world who had the immense courage to see me through and come here to me.”
‘I will spend a lot of time explaining to you what it means to have your support. You have my eternal gratitude, admiration and love. -Ezra.”

Last June, Miller appeared on the rare red carpet in Hollywood at the premiere of The Flash.
A month earlier, director Andy Muschietti revealed that Ezra could potentially reprise the role if there were a sequel to The Flash.
During an interview on The discourse podcast, the filmmaker said, “If there is (a sequel), yes, (Ezra would play The Flash). I don’t think there’s anyone who can play that character as well as she can.”
