Ezra Miller Surprises Everyone by Returning after Enduring Scandal and Periods of Quietness

Ezra Miller just made a very unexpected return to the spotlight.

The troubled star of “Flash” surprised everyone at the Cannes Film Festival recently. After a long period of keeping a low profile due to legal issues, controversial accusations, and public attention, Ezra Miller stepped onto the red carpet.

Dressed in a maroon tuxedo and beret, Ezra Miller maintained a low profile, swiftly passing by photographers without stopping for pictures. However, their presence did not go unnoticed.

Reports from Variety indicate that Miller attended to show support for director Lynne Ramsay at the premiere of her new movie “Die, My Love,” featuring stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. Miller and Ramsay had previously worked together on the psychological thriller “We Need to Talk About Kevin” in 2011.

Their return to Cannes marks the actor’s first major public appearance since “The Flash” flopped at the box office in 2023. The failure capped off a brutal stretch of headlines involving arrests, accusations, and alleged erratic behavior.

It all started unraveling in April 2020, when a disturbing video surfaced showing Miller appearing to choke a woman at a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland. The “Fantastic Beasts” star was slammed online, but no charges were filed.

In a now-deleted Instagram video posted early that year, they appeared to issue a chilling threat to members of the Ku Klux Klan, stating the message was “not a joke” and should be “taken seriously.”

What followed was a series of arrests in Hawaii.

In March, Miller was accused of causing a scene at a karaoke bar, allegedly shouting at patrons, grabbing a mic from a woman, and lunging at a man playing darts. They were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, later pleading no contest and paying a $500 fine.

That same month, a married couple filed a restraining order against Miller after claiming the actor burst into their bedroom, threatened to kill them, and stole a passport and wallet. The case was dropped two weeks later at the couple’s request.

But it didn’t end there. In April, Miller was arrested again, this time for allegedly hurling a chair at a 26-year-old woman after being asked to leave a private party, striking her in the head.

In 2022, Miller issued a public apology for their “past behavior” and said they were seeking help for “complex mental health issues.” But the list of incidents leading up to that moment is extensive.

“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,” Miller told Variety at the time. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have 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.”

One of the most serious accusations involved Tokata Iron Eyes, an indigenous activist who met Miller when she was 12 and they were 23. Her parents accused Miller of “corrupting a minor” and exhibiting “cult-like and psychologically manipulative” behavior. Though the petition was later withdrawn, the controversy haunted Miller’s reputation.

Tokata, now 21, has since toured with Miller in a band called Hundred In The Hand.
