Famous actor Ezra Miller returned to the red carpet Monday to promote “The Flash” at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles, following a series of highly publicized off-screen issues in 2022.
This was Miller’s first public appearance after reportedly getting in trouble with the law a number of times and revealing a struggle with mental health issues in August 2022, according to People.

The 30-year-old actor appeared healthy while promoting the new DC Studios movie. Cameras clicked away while Miller worked the crowd wearing a white asymmetrical suit jacket with black detailing and black slacks. Half of Miller’s hair was tied up in a bun while some cascaded around the actor’s shoulders.
Miller’s alleged behavior spanned across several months. Video circulated in April 2020 appearing to show the actor choking a female fan outside a bar in Iceland, People reported in a separate article. The actor was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment after allegedly yelling obscenities at patrons in a bar in Hawaii in March 2022, according to The Hollywood Reporter (THR).
Vermont State Police in August 2022 repeatedly attempted to serve a 25-year-old mother of three with an emergency order when they were reportedly living with Miller, demanding the family relocate out of fear for their safety.
Miller reportedly revealed a struggle with mental health issues via a statement to THR on Aug. 15, 2022.

I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior,” Miller said, according to THR.
