Ezra Miller has been at the center of several controversies over the past few months due to their behavior and being accused of grooming a minor. However, they have finally addressed the issue by claiming that they are the victim as they were “unjustly and directly targeted” after having done nothing.
In 2022, the American actor was accused by Shannon Guin of grooming her child Tokata Iron Eyes when they were only 12 years old, and a protective order was placed against them. Earlier this week, the same order was lifted and Miller posted a statement on their official Instagram account reacting to the news:
“I’m encouraged by today’s outcome and very grateful at this moment to everyone who has stood beside me and sought to ensure that this egregious misuse of the protective order system was halted.”
On top of that, they did not hold back and took this as an opportunity to defend themselves and retaliate against the person who made those accusations in the first place:
“I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action.”
In the same vein, Marissa Elkins, Ezra’s lawyer, admitted that it was frustrating for them to be the victim of such unjust accusations: “Frustratingly for Ezra, Guin lodged her false allegations at a time when Ezra was struggling with significant mental health issues and was unable to come to court to defend themself against the spurious claims made by this individual.’’
Although Ezra Miller will continue to be a controversial figure, it looks like they are on their path to redemption and it would not be surprising if they return to be the beloved actor they once were.
