From career comebacks to reputation revivals, anything is possible in the world of the rich and famous if you play your cards right. After a three-year hiatus from fame, Ezra Miller is making a \u2018tentative\u2019 comeback.<\/p>\n After propelling to fame in the 2012 cult film The Perks of Being a Wallflower<\/em> opposite Emma Watson and Logan Lerman, Miller\u2019s public image was swiftly thrown into question. They were involved in several legally contentious scandals during the formative years of their career, many of which made their way into the headlines.<\/p>\n It began in 2011 when Miller was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana during a traffic stop. However, the charges were later dismissed, and Miller was issued two disorderly conduct citations. However, things took a dark turn almost a decade later. In 2022, a video of Miller seeming to choke a woman at a bar in Iceland started circulating on social media. Variety<\/em> later heard from sources that the incident looked like a \u2018serious altercation at the bar\u2019. One of the women later told Variety<\/em>, \u2018I think, \u201cIt\u2019s just fun and games\u201d but then it wasn\u2019t. All of a sudden, [they\u2019re] on top of me, choking me, still screaming in my face if I want to fight.\u2019<\/p>\n This was a year Miller\u2019s name was constantly in the headlines. In March, Hawaii police alleged the actor got \u2018agitated\u2019 by people singing karaoke at a bar and began \u2018yelling obscenities\u2019 before getting on stage and grabbing the microphone. At another point, they allegedly \u2018lunged\u2019 at someone playing darts. Miller was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment as well as a traffic-obstruction related complaint. A Hawaii judge dismissed both counts. <\/p>\n A month later in April, Miller was arrested again. This time for second-degree assault for allegedly assaulting a woman at a party in Puna, Hawaii. The local police department released a statement at the time: \u2018During the course of their investigation, police determined that the individual, later identified as Ezra Miller, became irate after being asked to leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the forehead, resulting in an approximate half-inch cut.\u2019 The resolution of the case was not made public.<\/p>\n Another woman also told Variety<\/em> that the actor harassed her and \u2018seemingly\u2019 attempted to break down her apartment door in Berlin. \u2018I did not feel safe,\u2019 she told the publication. She claimed Miller called her a \u2018Nazi\u2019 and a \u2018transphobic piece of shit\u2019 and left after she called the police. Miller declined to comment on the allegations published by Variety<\/em>.<\/p>\n Then in August 2022, Miller was accused of robbing a home in Vermont and stealing \u2018several bottles of alcohol\u2019, according to the Vermont State Police. They were charged with \u2018the offense of felony burglary into an unoccupied dwelling\u2019. In October, the actor pleaded not guilty to one felony count of burglary and a second minor charge of petit larceny. By January 2023, the actor changed their plea to a lesser charge of misdemeanour unlawful trespass. The other charges were dismissed. Miller was sentenced to one year\u2019s probation, which included mental health treatment and random alcohol screenings.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] However, Miller was not out of the woods yet. They also faced a restraining order from two people they had allegedly harassed and threatened. The court document states Miller \u2018burst into the bedroom of the petitioner[s] and threatened\u2019 the alleged male victim by \u2018saying \u201cI will bury you and your slut wife.\u201d\u2019 The couple dismissed the lawsuit two weeks later.<\/p>\n The actor was also accused of grooming a child in 2022. According to the parents, who filed the charges, Miller met the child at Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota in 2016. Her parents claimed Miller was manipulating and controlling the girl since she was 12 years old. They alleged Miller exhibited a \u2018pattern of corrupting a minor\u2019 and allegedly displayed \u2018cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling behaviour\u2019. The child later issued a statement to say Miller \u2018has only provided loving support and invaluable protection\u2019. In 2024, the parents withdrew the complaint.<\/p>\n This was not the only troubling scandal of that nature, though. In June 2022, a mother and 12-year-old daughter were granted a temporary harassment prevention order against Miller after claiming the actor \u2018menaced their family one evening in their downstairs neighbour\u2019s home and acted inappropriately toward\u2019 the child.<\/p>\n Finally, in August 2022, the actor responded to the mounting controversies and allegations with a statement: \u2018Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment. I want to apologise to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.\u2019<\/p>\n All of which cast a shadow over the press run of the June 2023 sci-fi film, The Flash<\/em>. Nevertheless, Miller walked the red carpet at the premiere. They later thanked the film\u2019s executives for \u2018your grace and discernment and care in the context of my life\u2019. What followed was a hiatus where the actor avoided public life and took steps to ameliorate their mental health. <\/p>\n Miller made a bold but cautious return at the Cannes Film Festival in May and the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival in June to support the director Lynne Ramsay on her film, Die My Love<\/em>, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. In May, Ramsay confirmed to the Los Angeles Times that Miller will star as the lead in her next film. She revealed it\u2019s a \u2018vampire movie\u2019, adding, \u2018I can\u2019t tell you much. It\u2019s with Ezra Miller who was in [We Need to Talk About<\/em>] Kevin<\/em>. He\u2019s the main character. That\u2019s in development.\u2019<\/p>\n Speaking to Lo Speciale Giornale<\/em>, Miller explained they were returning to acting \u2018on tentative grounds. \u2018I\u2019m working with [Ramsay] again, that will likely be the first thing I do,\u2019 they said. \u2018It\u2019s a film that her and I are writing together. And I came to Cannes because she asked me to come, and if there\u2019s anything I really still believe in my life, it\u2019s devotion to one\u2019s people, one\u2019s loved ones, above all else.\u2019<\/p>\n However, the actor added, \u2018I didn\u2019t necessarily want to go to Cannes, I had a bit of a hard time. That\u2019s a tough re-entry point. If you\u2019ve been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes. But yeah, I did that for Lynne. I would do anything for Lynne.\u2019<\/p>\n As for Miller\u2019s hiatus, they said they\u2019ve spent the past few years writing in solitude and reflecting on the \u2018lessons\u2019 of the past few years. \u2018When you work in this industry, you\u2019ll find yourself in deep, deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single f*** about you, or your wellbeing, at all.\u2019 They continued, \u2018Not that I don\u2019t hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did, and for a lot of things that happened in that time, I\u2019m really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photos: <\/b>IMAGO<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ theme_builder_area=”post_content” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” type=”4_4″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After a stream of scandals, the actor is making a \u2018tentative\u2019 return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":11295,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11292"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11315,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11292\/revisions\/11315"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘I didn’t necessarily want to go to Cannes.’ \u2013 Ezra Miller<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/imago822923473-scaled.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]
