Actor Ezra Miller reportedly filmed additional photography for The Flash movie while they were actively evading a police service order.
In a recent article published by The Hollywood Reporter, it was reported that work on the upcoming film is still ongoing and that Miller had been participating in scheduled reshoots over the course of the summer, without incident. However, the actor was then charged with felony burglary on Aug. 7 (their third arrest this year) for an incident that allegedly took place on May 1. Additionally, it was earlier this summer, around June, that the parents of activist Tokata Iron Eyes were granted a protective order against Miller, claiming that the actor had groomed and manipulated their child. However, Chase Iron Eyes explained that law enforcement officials had been unable to locate or serve Miller: "They move around so much [that] we're stuck in this legal limbo situation, and we can't serve them in any place they're in long enough. They've been flighty. They've been avoiding service..." Miller subsequently made posts to social media in which they seemed to be taunting the authorities looking for them.
Moreover, a recent report from Rolling Stone reveals that Miller has seemingly been making a deliberate attempt to "evade service" of an emergency care order Vermont State Police have been attempting to issue the 25-year-old mother Miller had been housing at their farm. The emergency care order, which police attempted to serve this past weekend, demands that the mother's three children, who Miller has also been allegedly housing, be removed from her care. Miller told State Police that the family has not been at their farm in several months.
In June, it was reported that the father of the three children in the former case had accused Miller of creating an "unsafe environment" for the kids. One source even recalled an alleged incident where a 1-year-old child "picked up a loose bullet and put it in her mouth," and that multiple other unattended firearms could be found throughout Miller's cannabis farm. Despite these claims, the children's mother said that Miller's home only has "firearms for self-defense purposes, and they are stored in a part of the house that the children never go in." She further stated, "My kids are able to relax more into their healing because of the safety and nurturing Ezra has been providing for them."
Since early 2022, Miller has been the subject of much controversy due to a string of violent and troublesome incidents involving the actor. Although Miller's current legal troubles began with their March arrest for disorderly conduct and harassment in Hawaii, their violent behavior first became public knowledge in 2020 when a video of Miller appearing to strangle a fan began circulating online. The victim anonymously came forward recently. "I think it's just fun and games — but then it wasn't," the woman said in June. "All of a sudden, [they're] on top of me, choking me, still screaming in my face if I want to fight. My friend who's filming sees [they're] obviously not joking and it's actually serious, so he stops filming, and pushes [them] off me as [they're] still trying to fight me. Two guy friends of mine are actually holding [Miller] back as [they're] screaming, 'This is what you wanted! This is what you wanted!'"
Despite the long list of controversies involving Miller, The Flash is still scheduled to open in theaters on June 23, 2023.
