MA Mother Granted Temporary Protection Order Against Actor Ezra Miller
"The Flash" star Ezra Miller has been issued a court order by a Massachusetts mother on behalf of her 12-year-old child.
MASSACHUSETTS — A temporary harassment prevention order has been granted to a Massachusetts mother on behalf of her 12-year-old child against Ezra Miller, the 29-year-old actor set to star in the upcoming Warner Bros. movie "The Flash."
"There is a substantial likelihood of immediate danger of harassment," NBC reported the Greenfield District Court order declaring. Though the order does not list any allegations against Miller, the news outlet reported that it serves as an order of protection.
According to a report from The Daily Beast, the order was issued to Miller after a series of 'menacing' encounters with the actor including an instance with the 12-year-old non-binary child, their mother, and a neighbor.

This order follows other disturbing allegations against the 29-year-old non-binary actor from New Jersey that claim Miller used "violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent." The adolescent in question was 18-year-old activist Tokata Iron Eyes, who claims to have known Miller since they were 12 years old.
Tokata Iron Eyes and Miller met at Standing Rock Reservation in 2016 when Miller was 23, said the court filing from Tokata's parents, Chase Iron Eyes and Sara Jumping Eagle.

Miller stars in the "Fantastic Beasts" movies and as The Flash in several DC films with a movie of the same moniker due to hit theaters at the end of the month. But following a string of arrests in Hawaii earlier this year, DC and Warner Bros. have put a pause on Miller's projects.

The parents go on to claim that Tokata was fed LSD, marijuana and alcohol from Miller as a teen, and flew to London to see Miller at 14. The activist also went to Miller's house in Vermont, as well as visited New York, Los Angeles and Hawaii to see the actor.
In a statement posted to Instagram, Tokata defended Miller, arguing that the claims against the actor were false.
"My comrade Ezra Miller for the entirety of the aforementioned era has only provided loving support and invaluable protection throughout this period of loss," Tokata wrote.
"My father and his allegations hold no weight and are frankly transphobic and based in the notion that I am somehow incapable of coherent thought or opposing opinions to those of my own kindred worrying about my well-being. I am now aware of the severity of emotional and psychological manipulation I was made to endure while in my parents [sic] home."
Miller deleted their Instagram last week and has not been able to be located by police. The actor was also arrested twice in Hawaii on charges of harassment and disorderly conduct, and second-degree assault.
