Note: In an earlier draft of this story, we reported that Miller did not address the allegations at all. We apologize for the confusion.
After a long summer in which a number of very serious allegations were presented against Miller, the actor announced that they were suffering “complex mental issue,” and had sought out treatment.
“I love you, maestro,” Miller told director Andy Muschietti. “I think you’re amazing, and I think your work is monumental.”
Miller also thanked Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, Warner Bros. Film Group heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy and DC Studios stewards James Gunn and Peter Safran for “your grace and discernment and care in the context of my life. And in bringing this moment to fruition.”
The actor was arrested twice earlier this year in Hawaii, both stemming from the same incident. After being arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment following a confrontation at a karaoke bar, Miller was bailed out, and then soon after, arrested again for second-degree assault. According to the victims in the second case, Miller had been staying with them while in Hawaii, and assaulted them after being bailed out of jail. They claimed at the time that Miller had also stolen some of their belongings as they left.
Not long after, the parents of a an 18-year-old Native American activist tried to file a protection order against Miller, alleging that the actor had been grooming their daughter for years. The young woman, whose name is Tokata Iron Eyes, disputes the characterization, and has said that Miller helped her escape a bad situation.
