Was it only a matter of time before this happened? Ezra Miller was arrested in the early morning hours of April 19 on suspicion of second-degree assault, according to Hawaii Island Police Department report, via The Hollywood Reporter. The incident allegedly occurred at a private house party in Pāhoa, with Hawaiian police saying Miller “became irate after being asked to leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the forehead, resulting in an approximate half-inch cut.” The actor reportedly left the gathering and was tracked down and arrested by police at a local traffic stop.
Although Miller has been released “pending further investigation,” Twitter was an explosion of reactions to their latest legal trouble. One user quipped, “You are more likely to get assaulted by Ezra Miller in Hawaii than eaten by a shark,” while another expressed genuine concern for the actor’s mental state. “I hope Ezra recognizes they have a problem and gets some help,” the fan wrote. Yet another user was focused on the future of the beloved DC superhero Miller portrays, The Flash. “How hard will it be to hire a new Flash and refilm all the scenes to replace Ezra?” they asked. Suggestions like Grant Gustin and Timothée Chalamet have already floated out on the Twittersphere to become the new Flash — but we’re waiting to see what happens with Miller before placing early bets.
