Actor Ezra Miller has announced they are seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues” following a string of reports about unusual behaviour and a litany of legal issues.

In an exclusive statement to screen industry bible Variety Miller offered a public apology for their actions over recent years.

“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.”

The actor made headlines in 2020 when a video emerged that appeared to show them choking a woman outside a bar in Iceland.

The actor has been arrested twice in Hawaii this year, once for disorderly conduct and harassment, and recently had felony burglary charges filed against them in Vermont after he allegedly broke into a property to steal alcohol.

Miller’s ongoing bad behaviour has become a PR nightmare for Warner Bros who features Miller in both their DC Comics and Harry Potter franchises. Their new film The Flash is set to open in 2023.
