Miller has been embroiled in several controversies since signing on to “The Flash” franchise. For example, in April 2020, a video surfaced online of the actor allegedly suffocating a woman in Iceland. Then in March 2022, Miller was arrested in Hawaii for disorderly conduct and harassment after an incident at a karaoke bar. The star reportedly “got excited” when people started singing and even took a microphone from a woman and “threw it” at a man playing darts. A few days later, a couple filed a temporary restraining order against Miller in Hawaii for allegedly “barging into their bedroom and threatening them”.
In April of that year, Miller was again in the news. This time, he was arrested for allegedly throwing a chair and hitting a woman on the head.
Months later, in June 2022, Miller was charged with grooming a minor under the age of 12 and providing them with alcohol and drugs underage, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. In a separate incident that same month, a mother and her 12-year-old child were granted a temporary harassment prevention order against Miller after the actor allegedly threatened their family and behaved inappropriately towards a minor.
Miller released a statement in August 2022 regarding his recent behavior. “Having recently gone through a period of severe distress, I now understand that I suffer from complex mental health issues and have begun treatment,” Miller wrote in the statement. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have caused concern and distress with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to return to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.” According to a Variety report, Warner Bros. studios are reportedly supportive of Miller’s decision to seek professional help.
