A farm full of guns and two kidnapping claims: how did Ezra Miller get here?

2022-07-01T10:53:39.903Z


The interpreter of 'Flash', a blockbuster about to be released, has been behaving erratically for years, but the latest accusations against the actor take on a much more serious dimension


"The

Flash

star is holding some kids at a farm full of guns."

This is a difficult headline to understand out of context, but even with all the information, the situation is inexplicable.

The run-ins with the justice of actor Ezra Miller (New Jersey, 29 years old), known for his roles in

The Justice League

and

Fantastic Animals

, include assaults, police arrests and parents who denounce him for allegedly having

stolen from them

to his children.

And each new headline only throws more mystery around the farm where Miller lives with several people, some (again, supposedly, as accounts vary) held against his will.

What is going through his head?

Where does he go in his flight from justice?

And, above all, how did he get here?

Ezra Miller grew up in an artistic environment.

His father is a literary editor and his mother is a modern dancer.

In Interview

, the actor defined

his New Jersey neighborhood as "a place with an intense concentration of wealth and a low concentration of human happiness."

At the age of six, his teacher asked him to give a class presentation on his favorite book and Miller brought a stuffed dog, covered it with blood and taped a tape recorder to its hoof that played a dramatized reading of

Cujo

by Stephen King narrated by him. same.

The teacher gave it a ten.

“Art is the only thing I have.

If not, he would be dead long ago.

I probably would have done it myself," he confessed to

Playboy

in 2018. To overcome his stutter, he signed up for

bel canto classes,

made his debut at the age of six in Phillip Glass's

White Raven

opera at the Metropolitan, and when he finished he decided he preferred to devote himself to cinema.

We have to talk about Kevin

(2011) and

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

(2013) made him a cult actor so, as Hollywood tolls dictate today, the next inevitable step was to embark on a franchise.

Or, in his case, two: he played Aurelius Dumbledore in

Fantastic Beasts

and the Flash in

The Justice League

.

“ Queer

actor

Ezra Miller is the hero we need right now,”

The Guardian

headlined in 2018. His stardom, journalist Elle Hunt opined, proved that the world was truly changing.

From the beginning of his career, Miller naturally declared that he identified as a person of non-binary gender and his signing by DC made him the first out-of-the-closet actor to play a superhero.

Miller's extravagances led social networks to establish him as one of his idols.

In interviews he talked about colonialism, about time as a construct, and about mental health.

He himself confessed that in his adolescence he had gone through a stage of rebellious suffering in which he "burned, broke, screamed, hit things", tormented by belonging to a privileged class in a world with "gross economic disparity".

Each of his appearances on the red carpet was an artistic

performance

and his interactions with fans were unpredictable: one day he kissed one and another appeared dressed as Toadette, the Mario Kart character, communicating only through noise.

The video, even if it is in English, is not wasted.

His favorite topic of conversation was his farm, where he bragged about attending the births of his goats.

He, too, was an outspoken advocate (for example, in

Rolling Stone

) for the right to protect and own semi-automatic weapons, though his publicist asked

The Hollywood Reporter

to remove that statement after the October 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

“I am trying to find

queer

beings to connect with in an almost familiar way, as if I had married them 25 lifetimes ago.

They join the squad, the

polycule

and we all love each other very much”, he explained in

Playboy

in 2018 regarding his polyamorous group, which he baptized

polycule

(polyamory + molecule), with whom he lived on his 300-square-meter estate in Vermont.

Ezra Miller was by far the most original star of the decade.

A couple of years ago the actor's eccentricity began to arouse suspicion.

In April 2020, a fan began to dance with him in a bar in Reykjavík and Miller reacted by grabbing her by the neck and throwing her to the ground.

The video went viral on social networks, although the most commented on was the curiosity that Iceland had not imposed social distance or masks in the midst of the first wave of Covid-19.

Last March, Miller was arrested for disturbing the order in a bar in Hilo (Hawaii).

According to witnesses, the actor was quietly drinking and dancing until some patrons sang

Shallow

(the song from

A Star Is Born

) and Miller lost his temper.

He started yelling obscenities, spat on a man who was playing darts and grabbed the karaoke user's microphone.

The actor left the dungeon after a couple of friends paid the 480 euros bail.

But within a few hours that same couple ended up requesting a restraining order against Miller because, according to the 26-year-old woman, she refused to leave her house when asked and threw a chair at her face that caused her a one centimeter wound.

"I'm going to bury you and your slutty wife," the actor shouted, according to the complaint, before stealing her husband's wallet.

The couple's lawyer emphasizes that Miller "is a rich and famous actor, which makes it easier for him to access weapons and allows him to send people to intimidate my clients."

In all, Ezra Miller had ten run-ins with the police during the couple of months he spent in Hawaii.

His companion on those vacations was his friend Gibson Iron Eyes, 18 years old.

In early June, the parents of Iron Eyes denounced Miller for preventing them from seeing their daughter.

The actor met her in 2016 at a demonstration against the construction of an oil pipeline on Sioux land, when he was 23 years old and she was 12. The following year, Gibson traveled to London to attend the premiere of

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

and, according to the complaint, the actor tried to sleep in Gibson's bed until the chaperone stopped him.

Upon returning to the United States, Miller financially took over Gibson's education but convinced her to drop out of high school at age 16.

According to the parents, this friendship endangers the health of her daughter because, according to her version, the actor supplied her with alcohol, marijuana and LSD when she was a minor.

(Gibson is 18, but she is still legally dependent on her parents under Sioux tribal law)

Gibson's parents decided to denounce Ezra Miller after going to the actor's farm, where their daughter currently resides, and discovering that he does not have an identity card, car keys, bank card or mobile phone.

That is why they suspected that she was being held against his will.

In addition, they state that they observed bruises on Gibson's body.

"Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threats, fear, paranoia, deception and drugs to dupe teenage Tokata," the parents denounced according to

the Los Angeles Times

, using their daughter's baptismal name, which is identified as not binary.

According to them, “Gibson” is the name given to him by Miller.

“If he was in his right mind, he would let him learn by hitting”, his mother, Sara Jumping Eagle, has declared to

Rolling Stone

.

“But not only is she suffering from mental problems, she also has a predator taking advantage of her.”

Gibson Iron Eyes has claimed its independence on its Instagram account.

He claims to be happy making his own decisions and to be mentally stable.

She defines Miller as "a comrade" who is helping her and accuses her parents of transphobia.

In fact, she has pointed out that the only "emotional and psychological manipulation" that she has suffered in her life is that which has been perpetrated by her parents.

The court has not notified Miller of the complaint because she has not been able to locate him.

The actor has until July 12 to appear before the judge.

That day the hearing of the case will be held.

Last Thursday, June 16, another Massachusetts woman obtained a restraining order against Miller, who according to her behaved inappropriately with her 12-year-old son.

The boy, who also identifies as non-binary, told

The Daily Beast

that Miller made him feel “uncomfortable” by hugging him, sitting next to him or touching his hips.

"He made me nervous, he scared me because he yelled at my mother," he confessed.

According to the boy's mother, last February Miller showed up at his house drunk with a bulletproof vest and a gun at his side.

"Your son is an elevated being, he would be lucky to have someone like me guiding him," he snapped.

At one point in the discussion she referred to her friends, who had come to mediate, as "my tribe" and the actor accused her of cultural appropriation: "Speaking like that could put you in a very dangerous situation," he warned as he opened the vest to reveal the gun.

On June 23,

Rolling Stone

published that three children between one and five years old surrounded by weapons also live on the Vermont estate.

In March, Miller met a 25-year-old woman in Hilo and proposed moving to her farm with her children.

The boys' father has said that since Miller secretly smuggled them out of Hawaii in March, he hasn't seen them again.

However, her mother claims that Ezra Miller has rescued her from a violent relationship.

"He has helped me to have a safe space for my three children, his ranch is a refuge of salvation for us," she clarifies.

Regarding the weapons, she points out that they are "for self-defense" and assures that they are in a room in the house that the children never enter.

But the journalist from

Rolling Stone

Cheyenne Roundtree claims to have seen videos of the house showing at least eight submachine guns, rifles and revolvers scattered around the living room and an armory sitting next to a pile of stuffed animals.

Even two witnesses confirm that the baby put a bullet in his mouth.

On May 16, a social worker from Vermont visited the farm and reported that the children "looked fine," although she suggested more follow-up visits.

Meanwhile, Warner, the studio behind

Flash

and

Fantastic Beasts

, has called several emergency meetings to discuss how to deal with the scandal.

At the moment the Flash

solo film

, in which Maribel Verdú plays the superhero's mother, maintains its premiere scheduled for June 23, 2023. According to

Deadline

, the projects in development with Miller have been paused but the priority is to decide what to do with

Flash

, which is already shot and has cost 200 million dollars.

A source in the

Rolling Stone report

He assures that Miller "was losing his mind" and that he suffered "frequent lows" during filming, although they never led to violence.

At the moment, neither Ezra Miller nor his team have commented on the complaints.

Last week the actor posted a series of memes on his Instagram that seemed to refer to his accusers: “You can't touch me, I'm in another universe.

I am protected from negative people and their bad intentions.

My spirit, mind, body, soul and success are untouched by anyone's envy."

He then deleted the account.
