'The Flash' Actor Ezra Miller Seeks Mental Health Treatment: Report

STAMFORD, VT — Ezra Miller, the embattled star of "The Flash" and "Fantastic Beasts" series, announced this week they will seek treatment for "complex mental health issues" following months of legal issues and troubling behavior, according to a report.

Miller, 29, who lives on a farm in Vermont and identifies as nonbinary, is due to appear in Vermont Superior Court later this month after the actor was charged with felony burglary. Vermont State Police say they stole several bottles of alcohol from a residence in Stamford.

Miller made the announcement in a statement to Variety.

"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 said. "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."

The felony burglary charge is just one incident in a series of controversies and criminal behavior involving Miller.

In March, the actor was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment after they became agitated at a Hawaii karaoke bar. Police said Miller yelled obscenities and eventually grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman who was singing. Miller later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts, police said.

A month later, Miller was at a house gathering in Pāhoa, Hawaii. When they were asked to leave, Miller threw a chair and hit a 26-year-old woman on the forehead, leaving her with a half-inch cut, police said.

In June, a Massachusetts mother and her 12-year-old child were granted a protective order against Miller after they were accused of inappropriately touching the child who is nonbinary.

Miller also has been accused of using "cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling behavior," "violence, intimidation" and a "pattern of corrupting a minor" to groom a teenage girl from the age of 12.

Last week, Vermont state authorities went to Miller's home searching for a 25-year-old woman and her three children who were reportedly living with the actor, according to a report by Rolling Stone. Authorities were concerned Miller may be hiding the woman's whereabouts.

Vermont State Police attempted to serve the woman with an emergency care order over the weekend. The order sought to remove the woman's three children from her care due to fears for their safety.

When authorities arrived at Miller's home, the actor told officers the woman and her children hadn't lived at his Stamford farm in months, the report said.

Rolling Stone previously reported that the woman and her children, who Miller met while in Hawaii, had been staying at his property since April. Sources familiar with the family told Rolling Stone they feared for the safety of the children, claiming unattended guns were located throughout the house. In one instance, sources told the publication a one-year-old child picked up a loose bullet and put it in her mouth.

The woman claimed Miller helped her escape an abusive relationship and his Vermont home provided a safe environment for her three kids.

After appearing in several films for Warner Bros. and DC Films as the Flash, Miller is set to star in the upcoming standalone film "The Flash," due out in June 2023. A source close to the studio told Variety that Warner Bros. supports Miller’s decision to seek professional help.
