In a statement provided to Variety by a representative for the actor, Miller broke their silence on their disturbing behavior over the past few years, which has led to a series of legal issues and allegations of assault and abuse. Miller also apologized for their actions. “Having recently gone through a period of intense crisis, I now understand that I suffer from complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” says Miller. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have worried and upset with my previous behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to return to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.” The struggling actor, who is non-binary and uses both pronouns, played DC Comics character Barry Allen in 2017’s “Justice League” and its 2021 counterpart, “Zack Snyder’s Justice League.” But their role in the comic book franchise has been overshadowed by their off-screen behavior, which has worried friends and associates of the actor, as well as Warner Bros., the studio behind “The Flash.” Most recently, Miller was charged with felony burglary in Vermont after state police investigated an incident involving several bottles of alcohol taken from a residence while the homeowners were not present. The actor made headlines in 2020 after a recording surfaced showing a woman being choked outside a bar in Iceland. No charges were filed. The actor has been arrested twice in Hawaii this year, once for disorderly conduct and harassment. In the Hawaii incidents, Miller pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and paid a $500 fine and $30 court costs. The harassment charge was dismissed. The series of scandals has become an avalanche of public relations, not only for Miller, but also for Warner Bros. Discovery, which has employed the actor in two of its seminal franchises — the DC Comics movies and the “Harry Potter” spinoff series “Fantastic.” Beast.” A source close to the studio says Warner Bros. supports Miller’s decision to seek professional help. “The Flash” is set to open in theaters on June 23, 2023, and will reportedly serve as a staple of the studio’s DC Comics films, featuring appearances by Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as Batman.
