Reports: Ezra Miller Out at Warner Bros. As Second Allegation of "Grooming" Lodged by Family of 12-Year-Old Girl

"I can't believe the guy who wears dresses to Hollywood premieres is a weirdo," said nobody.

But is the "non-binary cross-dressing" thing just an act to cover up something sinister?

A family has secured a protective order to keep Ezra Miller away from their 12-year-old daughter.

And this is a different girl than the Native American girl, with whom he's absconded. She's 18 now, though he reported began "grooming" her -- or "dominating" her with drugs and weird ideologies -- when she was 12.

On Wednesday, a mother and her 12-year-old child traveled to their local courthouse in Greenfield, Massachusetts, and were granted a temporary harassment prevention order against Ezra Miller after alleging that the actor menaced their family one evening in their downstairs neighbor's home and acted inappropriately toward the nonbinary youngster.

The news comes on the heels of a number of other disturbing allegations that have surfaced against the 29-year-old, best known for their turn as The Flash in Justice League. (Miller is also nonbinary).

Last week, the parents of 18-year-old environmental activist Tokata Iron Eyes requested that a court issue a protective order against Miller, stating in court documents that the actor met Tokata six years ago when they were 12 and Miller was 23, and that "Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata."


The parents also accused Miller of influencing Tokata's decision to come out as nonbinary transgender. (An unverified Instagram account presumed to belong to Tokata denied the claims.) The court has been unable to locate Miller to serve them the papers, and Miller deleted their Instagram Wednesday afternoon--but not before posting a series of memes mocking the authorities for their inability to find them.

So he's taken the 18 year old girl and fled. She wanted to leave with him -- presumably -- so it's not kidnapping.

It is alarming, though.


Creator Mia Solange took to TikTok in April to accuse Miller of being a "#abuser," while the actor was arrested twice in Hawaii for disorderly conduct, harassment, and allegedly throwing at chair at a woman. On top of all that, in 2020, a video went viral of Miller attacking a young female fan in Iceland, though local authorities declined to investigate the incident.

Oh, you've finally decided to cover that, huh, media?

Weird, it was as if Ezra Miller was completely #protected and permitted to choke-slam a pregnant girl because he had a fashionable sexuality.

Allegedly.

Here are some details from the protective order gotten for the 12 year old girl:


On the evening of Feb. 2, the trio contend that Miller was present at the downstairs neighbor's home in Greenfield, which is located about 40 miles from the actor's ranch in Stamford, Vermont. That neighbor is in a band with Whitney Suters, a musician who is close friends with Miller.

"[Miller] was wearing a bulletproof vest--and I had no idea until later that they were armed," recalls the visiting neighbor.

Tensions began brewing when the mother says she mentioned doing some traveling recently with "her tribe" of people, leading Miller to snap at her and accuse her of cultural appropriation. Then, a conversation about board games allegedly went sideways when, after Miller claimed that the board game Parcheesi had Rastafarian roots, the visiting neighbor--who is half-Black--questioned Miller as to which sect of the Rastafari movement it originated from.

"At this point, Ezra explodes and started screaming directly into my face," the visiting neighbor tells me. "They said, 'You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. What did you say to me? What did you just say to me?!'"

"I was very caught off-guard," the visiting neighbor continues. "Then they opened up their jacket--they had this, like, big Sherpa jacket--and they opened up one side of their jacket, you could see a gun, and they said, 'Talking like that could get you into a really serious situation.'"


Next, according to the visiting neighbor, the mother, and the child, Miller focused their attention on the then-11-year-old, saying, "I've talked extensively with your child, and they have a lot of power to them. At one point, you're going to realize that you don't have any control over them anymore. They're an elevated being, and they would be lucky to have someone like me guide them."

They say Miller proceeded to turn to the mother, who dresses Goth, and accused her of being a witch and a vampire, repeatedly yelling at her, "Do you want to drink my blood? Do you!?"

I'm not even putting that last part in bold. That's the least weird part of this.

Miller then came back to the child and allegedly began pestering them with compliments--at one point moving their chair closer to them, uncomfortably hugging them and touching their hips, requesting that they add the actor on Instagram, and telling the child--who expressed their interest in horses--that they would acquire several horses and the child could help them care for the herd on their Vermont farm.

"They automatically were just weirdly drawn to me and kept talking about how they love my outfit and love my style, and kept going on and on about how it was great," the child remembers. "It was really uncomfortable. I was really nervous. I was scared to be around them after he'd yelled at my mother and she was crying."

Baiting a little girl with horses.

Classic p3do move.

Miller's in the wind and his representatives "are not available for comment."

Reports say that Warner Bros. is out of the Ezra Miller business, permanently. They have him as both an ongoing actor in their DC comics movies -- as the Flash -- and in their Harry Potter spinoff series.

The reports go on to highlight how the star's recent erratic behavior has been disastrous for the studio.

Adding that the studio has tried to work with Miller but the continued behavior has become too much for it to deal with. It is also interesting to note that Warner Bros. that $200 million USD was put into the yet-to-release The Flash film, starring Ezra Miller, to revitalize the DCEU to match the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The removal of Miller could throw off plans. The reports note that all projects related to the actor are likely to be shelved following the release of The Flash, with the film being the last time Miller plays the hero.

Midnight's Edge talked about another article noting that Warner Bros. has three options: shelve a $200 movie and just eat the costs, which is a non-starter.

Release it with little publicity. I don't think they'd have to do that -- people would be coming to see this movie to see Michael Keaton returning as the 1989 Batman, anyway, not to see the weirdo Ezra Miller as a bad version of Flash.

The third option, which would cost maybe $100 million, is to reshoot all of Ezra Miller's scenes with a new actor.

I wonder if they could just Deep Fake another actor's face on to Miller's in a lot of scenes and just film the new actor in some easy-to-film scenes.

I mean, they Deep Faked Henry Cavil's upper lip in Justice League.

And in half of Flash's scenes he'd be wearing a mask anyway!

30 But is the "non-binary cross-dressing" thing just an act to cover up something sinister?

I think it was two things.

1) evidence of his general state of insanity and corruption
2) A way of avoiding critizism and being allowed to do stuff nobody else would.

I mean... Johnny Depp got thrown off the new crappy Harry Potter movies for being ACCUSED of abusing his lunatic wife. This douchebag, was kept on in the same franchise, was kept on after literally attacking a woman on camera, choking her, and throwing her to the ground.

Aside from the obvious difference in acting talent and on-screen charisma, what's the distinction between these two? Why keep him on and toss Johnny?

OK sure, Depp's salary is probably ten ties what this fruit loop gets paid but still.

Why do it? Because I want women and girls to play these games. And while guys don't give a crap if the example is a dude or not, women do feel excluded if it says "he". TSR's bizarre approach of using exclusively female pronouns feels wrong and stupid, so I went with neutral.

77 The DCU interpretation of the flash is nearly as wrong as it possibly could be in any case. From the costume to the casting to the personality to the weak power set, its just all wrong. So I honestly don't give a single damn who they cast or what the movie is like.

The Flash TV show was inconsistently terrible or okay, but the casting and costume was great, and how they showed him doing things was often quite good.

I mean his power level varied hilariously based on what they needed the story to do and he acted like an idiot most of the time but he looked right.

Kind of yeah. There's a big reboot going on especially at the DC side of Warner, but this was already in the pipeline and they had to work with what they had.

I have some (slim) hopes that the DC movies can get better from this point on, but they are retaining "I hate superheroes, goodness, and joy" Zach Snyder as the show runner there, so ...

Shitty movies have always been with us but as the number of movies shrink due to the Star Wars blockbuster paradigm, we notice all the bad ones. Combined with the Waterworld effect of believing global markets will buy pure CGI crap if it comes from Hollywood, it has destroyed the creative ability of the big movie studios.

It's annoying and unclear. It's wrong. There was a time when using "they" as a singular pronoun would get you marked down on assignments. If it's ambiguous, the correct construction - if you're being politically correct - is "his or her." If you're not being PC, it's just "his" for the ambiguous or known-male condition. Most languages do this. If you have a group of children where there are both males and females, it's just "ninos" in Spanish. The masculine collective noun or masculine ambiguous noun is how this works.

But no. Just add tremendous confusion because of tranny nonsense.

Chicago police officers will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot simply because they run away or give chase over minor offenses, the department said Tuesday.

Officers won't be allowed to chase people on foot if they suspect them of minor offenses such as parking violations, driving on suspended licenses or drinking alcohol in public. But they will still have discretion to people who they've determined are committing or about to commit crimes that post “an obvious threat to any person."

Perhaps most significantly, the policy makes clear that the days of officers giving chase just because someone tries to avoid them are over.

Darrell Brooks Jr. faces more than 80 charges, including six homicide counts, in connection with the Nov. 21 incident in Waukesha. He pleaded not guilty in February. During a hearing Monday one of his attorneys, Jeremy Perri, told Judge Jennifer Dorow that Brooks is changing his plea to not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.||

It's the power of the franchise.

No one goes to Iron Man to see Robert Downey Junior. They go because it's a Marvel movie. If they wanted to go to the movies to see Downey Jr., they'd also go and see his little movies like The Judge, which they don't.

The franchise is the new movie star. Marvel was smart when they were first building their franchise more than a decade ago and they signed on people like Chris Hemsworth to 9 picture deals that paid them something like $100,000 a movie (it was more, I think, but a pittance compared to Downey's initial contract).

WB signed Ezra on cheap early (BvS days) and got him to a contract. Now, he's a face of a franchise. WB never expected him to be a draw personally.

Can we get together a white feather movement for whoever was leading the cops that day? Has an individual name been released yet?

245 MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A man accused of killing six people and injuring dozens more when he allegedly drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee last year has decided to mount an insanity defense, his attorneys said Monday.

Darrell Brooks Jr. faces more than 80 charges, including six homicide counts, in connection with the Nov. 21 incident in Waukesha. He pleaded not guilty in February. During a hearing Monday one of his attorneys, Jeremy Perri, told Judge Jennifer Dorow that Brooks is changing his plea to not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.||

"It was really uncomfortable. I was really nervous. I was scared to be around them after he'd yelled at my mother and she was crying."

Note the switching of pronouns in the quote. Either the poor child is confused or the Daily Beast editor missed this one.

An 11 year old" nonbinary" child with a Goth mother. Nothing could go wrong.

Ezra Miller is just demonstrating the endgame of this stuff. The freaks are coming for your kids. It's just a matter of time before anyone who objects to their young child "dating" an adult is attacked by the MSM and left for being an istaphobe whose life deserves destruction.

263 230 Wolfus,
The general decline in literacy and declines in aspiring to higher values means that that lowest global common denominator applies.

Good writing is constrained by time and place of the setting and unpredictable in marketing globally. Explosions, action, etc, transcend that. Rowan Atkinson with Mr. Bean made bank on that fact but unfortunately he is an example of comedy expressed via actions that are universal in humans. Most Hollywood types are not that good in discerning universal and timeless values among humans.

He told dispatch via his cell phone to have someone go get his radio (oops), and he demanded rifles, claiming every nearby LEO had a pistol and he needed rifles on scene.

They had a ballistic shield at least 50 minutes before they went in. Fucking stack up behind the shield and stick your arm out with a pistol to shoot the child murderer.

Apparently there's no video evidence these chucklefucks even approached the door. There's also video evidence the child murderer left the classroom at least three times, casting doubt on the idea the door was locked at all.

Because this is a Smart MilBlog, and because I expect the Uvalde cops will now cry that they did not have "adequate" ballistic shields to protect against AR-15 rounds, at bottom are links to ballistic shield protection level definitions and descriptions of sizes and weights of shields. FYI.

If the cops do claim they were waiting on Rifle Ammo-Rated Protective Shields, I call BS - the cops also wore protective vests, which offered torso protection against any rounds going through a ballistic shield - probably enough to stop a round already slowed and maybe deformed in going through a shield.

339 I used to hear these Pizzagate accusations and discard them as political malcontents just spreading rumors with no substantiation and overactive imaginations. But, over the last couple of years there have just been way too many instances where I've found myself thinking WTF! The Catholic church was always a hotbed. But, even with the documented cases, it was easy to write it off to the media ginning up the issue.

Then Epstein, and the details of how he avoided any substantive penalties the first time he was caught red handed. The multitude of Hollywood types involved is mind boggling. The shady treatment of alleged victims and witnesses is way beyond coincidence.

Now the normalization of the crime via Disney, public school curriculum, and selective enforcement of the law. It's hard to accept....but there it is. I can't be the only one who tried to remain skeptical on this stuff and found it impossible.

But it appears that the Uvalde police were in position to do something within 3 minutes of the perp entering the classroom; and then there was a large contingent of various Federal agents (DEA, Border Patrol) because Uvalde is full of them. I *think* DPS officers were some of the last to arrive on the scene, but I could be wrong.

That sounds familiar.

I'm reminded of a moment on Zemeckis' first film where he wanted a crane shot but it wasn't in the budget. Spielberg was there on set as Zemeckis' mentor and talked to the studio representative who simply wasn't having it because it wasn't in the budget. Spielberg just offered to pay for it himself, and then the studio guy took up the cost.

Zemeckis also didn't join the DGA until his third movie. Spielberg found out years later while doing an interview with Zemeckis and Bob Gale about Zemeckis' first film.

463 The odds that Pizzagate would come out shortly before Epstein did are astronomically low.

I don't know how many leftists I saw making the same argument - if you believe are our elites are getting away with molesting kids you are a crazy conspiracy theory nut - which was shortly thereafter proven to be true by the Epstein stuff.

Either Pizzagate was specifically pushed as a story to get ahead of the Epstein stuff or someone got the core of the story right and just some of the details wrong...

472 Kroger owns teeter now

Posted by: NCKate at June 21, 2022 03:09 PM (2oJif)

I only go to Kroger when I absolutely have to. Publix is my go-to. Clean stores, well-stocked, pleasant, helpful employees. Kroger is the polar opposite.

We had a Harris Teeter near us 32 years ago in Atlanta, and it was great to shop in. Clean, helpful, etc. And as a mom with a toddler, if it was raining, an employee would grab an umbrella to shield you from the rain while taking your groceries to your car.

Kroger, like the Dems, ruins everything.

I love "The Raven", have that on DVD. The best parts are where you can sense Price and Karloff, as two old pros, smiling and winking at each other every time they're on screen together. And they're usually rolling their eyes at Peter Lorre, who played a drunk by (reportedly) staying completely shit-faced drunk throughout the filming. (it shows)
