Along with his work as an advocate for the LGBTQ community, Ezra Miller has been an outspoken member and supporter of the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements. This made it all the more shocking when the actor — who is known for doing so much good — hit headlines for doing something that looked really, really bad. In April 2020, the star cast himself as the villain when a video surfaced on Twitter that depicted the Justice League star seemingly choke-slamming a woman.
According to Variety, the incident went down around 6 p.m. after Miller was approached by a group of “pushy” fans at a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland called Prikið Kaffihús. In the video, a woman gears up for what looks like a play fight. Miller appears to ask, “Did you want to fight?” before grabbing the woman by the throat and pushing her to the ground as an onlooker yells, “Whoa, bro. Bro!”
While it’s impossible to tell if Miller was joking from the video, Variety’s source claimed it was a “serious altercation,” and the actor was escorted off the premises. According to ET Canada, the video was originally posted on Reddit, where someone who claimed to be at the scene alleged that Miller spit on them and staff members, showed them scars from previous fights, and stood outside for “at least 10 minutes” barefoot while bouncers waited for the cops. At the time of this writing, Miller has yet to publicly comment.
