In the last few months, Ezra Miller hit the headlines on a number of occasions for a series of disturbances in Hawaii that ended up with The Flash star being arrested on two separate occasions. Things have been pretty quiet on the matter since Miller appeared in court to answer to charges of disorderly conduct and harassment, which were the result of an altercation in a local bar in which Miller was said to have lunged at one patron and grabbed a microphone off another who was singing karaoke at the time. Now TMZ has shared footage taken from the bodycam of officers who arrested the star that has added to the strange incident.Miller is seen the footage to be agitated at being arrested. The video starts with a conversation between the officers and the others involved in the incident, who claim that Miller spat at them, before cutting to Miller trying to evade the officers, claiming that they were the one who was assaulted in a bar nearby. Miller is heard to say, “I was assaulted in this bar twice in a row. I film myself when I get assaulted for NFT crypto art.” The actor then demands the name and badge number of the officers, and claims that one of the people in the bar “declared himself as a Nazi, I have it on film, and he attacked me.”The footage ends with Miller being searched, and having a ring that appears to be based on The Flash taken from them. The video was published at TMZ and is spreading on social media.
The original incident caused many to question whether the actor could continue in their upcoming movie role of The Flash following the arrest, but at the time Warner Bros. said they had no plans to make any changes to The Flash movie despite fans calling for Miller to be replaced with Grant Gustin from the TV series based on the character.
Miller Caused More Issues For Themselves With A Second Arrest
In the month following their arrest, Miller was once again reported to have been arrested in another incident in Hawaii just days before they were due to appear in court to answer to the original charges. This time around, Miller was said to have thrown a chair at a woman after a disagreement. It was subsequently revealed that during their time in Hawaii, the police had received around 10 calls linked to the star’s behavior.
Miller is still set to appear in The Flash, the first solo movie featuring the Justice League’s Barry Allen, which will also feature the DCEU multiverse and the return of Michael Keaton’s Batman. The film was originally scheduled to arrive in November this year, but, unrelated to Miller’s recent misdemeanors, Warner Bros. shuffle of their DC movies saw the movie drop back to a June 2023 release date instead. Although there has been no real discussions about where Barry Allen will go following The Flash, it is possible that their actions in the last few months could influence where their DC future as the character lies.
