THE FLASH Star Ezra Miller Breaks Silence On Recent Behaviour And Issues Apology

We had a feeling that was coming after some recent updates, and The Flash star Ezra Miller has finally addressed their troubling behaviour by issuing an apology and promising to seek treatment.

A recent report indicated that Warner Bros. Discovery was considering three options for how to proceed with The Flash, one of which involved convincing star Ezra Miller to issue a public apology for his violent, troubling behaviour.

Now, likely under pressure from the studio bigwigs, the actor has finally broken his silence by releasing 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.”

Miller has been on a steady downward spiral since the first of many incidents (they were caught on camera choking a woman outside a bar in Iceland) went viral, with multiple accusations of physical and verbal abuse, theft, breaking and entering, harassment, child-endangerment and more levelled at the Justice League actor. Most recently, they were charged with felony burglary in Vermont.

We're not sure how well this apology will go over, but WBD is clearly hoping it has the desired effect, and takes some of the pressure off mounting a campaign to promote The Flash, which is still set for a June 23, 2023 release.

It remains to be seen if Miller will actually be involved in the movie's press tour and other promotion, but it'll probably come down to how their apology is received and if they do follow through by seeking the help they so clearly need.

What do you guys make of Miller's statement? Drop us a comment down below.

@Ryos - This shit sounds so forced...I bet he didn't even say any of that shit.

Anyway it's a positive step regardless if he's willingly doing it or is being forced.

He needs to be in a secure hospital til the release date comes around..

Needs a healthy IM monthly dose of clopixol.

@Equivocal - Exactly. There's nothing wrong with him. He got drunk on his own success. Also, I wonder what he's meaning by this time of crisis and suffering complex mental health issues? If he's lumping everything in the past 3 years he's not exactly sending the best message about the being non-binary. Makes it seem like that's also something to be fixed. Whether or not it does matters little to me and no I'm not trying to stoke any flames. You can do whatever you wanna do imo as long as you're not a menace to society. Live your life, I don't care. I hope he genuinely wants and needs help, but this apology means nothing to me. It's a reaction to bad publicity so that a movie can be released.

too little too late

Fire the freak

RDJ didn't get a slap on the wrist and had to rebuild his career

If he is serious about getting better he can do the same, but he doesn't deserve to be The Flash and there is no reason to take his word for it. show don't tell. Takes a lot more than "I promise not to do it again"

@dracula - yeah, they shouldn't be allowed to be the flash again, that would just be wb rewarding this kind of behavior

@dracula - And a key difference between this and the whole thing with RDJ is that RDJ didn't go around assaulting and kidnapping people and grooming children and threatening to commit murder (or maybe he did and that just hasn't come out yet; I dunno).

@MUTO123 - which is even more reason this is not good enough and miller should have to do more than just apologize and needs to be removed
