Ezra Miller, is in trouble with the law once again, as he’s been arrested by law enforcement in Hilo, Hawaii.
The 29-year-old queer actor, who uses the pronoun ‘they’, was at a karaoke bar in Hilo, where ‘they’ were harassing a number of patrons with belligerent behavior. The police were called and arrested the actor on charges of disorderly conduct and harassment.
According to reports, the incident happened at a karaoke bar on Silva Street in Hilo, where Miller was reportedly hurling “obscenities” at a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke. The actor also tried to grab the microphone from the woman while she was in mid-song. Later on in the night, ‘they’ lunged at a 32-year-old man who was playing darts at the bar.
The bar owner reportedly asked ‘they’ to calm down numerous times, though that request seemingly didn’t suffice, leading to the invitation of the police.
The police arrived at the karaoke bar around 11:30 pm and placed Miller under arrest and took Miller into custody. It’s unclear how long Miller was in custody, though ‘they’ posted $500 bail, and was ultimately released.
This isn’t Miller’s first brush with the law, or controversy, with the actor having been arrested for drug possession in June 2011. The actor was the passenger in a vehicle in Pittsburgh when he and others were pulled over and cops discovered 20 grams of marijuana in Miller’s possession.
A judge later drop the drug possession charge, but ‘they’ was charged with two citations of disorderly conduct and ordered to pay a fine of $600.
The actor found himself in hot water once again in April 2020 when a video surfaced of him appearing to choke a woman and slammed her to the ground in Reykjavik, Iceland. A bar employee identified the person in the video as Miller and ‘they’ was removed from the premises.
Miller also made headlines this past January, when ‘they’ posted a video on Instagram that was later deleted. ‘They’ threatened members of the Ku Klux Klan operating in Beulaville, North Carolina.
Miller’s arrest comes at an inopportune time for Warner Bros., as the performer plays a key role in its upcoming ‘Harry Potter’ spin-off film, ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’, which is set to begin its global theatrical rollout in April.
Miller also plays Barry Allen, also known as the Flash, in the studio’s ongoing slate of DC films. After appearing in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, ‘Justice League’ and ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’, Miller will outdoor his own DC film with ‘The Flash’. Principal photography has been completed on the solo film, which is set to hit theaters on June 23, 2023.
Miller was recently featured during Sunday evening’s Academy Awards broadcast. ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ won in the newly introduced ‘Oscars cheer moment’ category, which was determined by fan votes through online avenues. A sequence described as ‘The Flash Enters the Speed Force’ was voted the most cheer-worthy moment through online polls ahead of the show, with footage from Miller’s showcase in the film being featured during the Oscars broadcast.
