Vanity Fair: Ezra Miller Is Running a Sex Cult and Thinks He's Jesus

And he "weaponizes" his "gender identity" to score points on people too, say people who know him.

The article recaps several of his escapades. Including his arrest in Hawaii, in which he shrieked "I identify as non-binary! I do not consent to being searched by a man! I do not consent!" He also demanded that he be allowed to continue filming the arrest, because he films his arrests "for NFT crypto art."

And of course the time he choked a woman in Iceland, and threw her to the ground. His PR person explain that this wasn't really choking, because Miller "went at the collarbone." The PR person also claim that Miller was "baited by teens" into choking the woman.

This much was known months and months ago. The right-wing reported it; the left-wing continued protecting their "non-binary" woman-choker and child-groomer.

I wonder why they've started reporting on it. The article does note that the leftwing media used to hail Ezra Miller as a "queer icon."

Miller's outspokenness about sexuality and gender identity earned them a reputation for empathy and progressiveness, as well as effusive internet titles like "queer icon," "the hero we need right now," and "our nonbinary king." In 2018, GQ Style put Miller on its cover, and wrote, "Please God, tell us the next generation of movie stars is going to be like this."

Are they no longer treating him as "our nonbinary king" because he's become too noxious to cover up for?

Or is because they now have a "right-wing" enemy in Warner Discovery CEO David Zaslav, and are trying to harm him through attacking this weirdo whose movie he inherited?

I don't know. Long time coming, though.

On to the newer crimes. First of all, Miller may be lying when he says he's seeking treatment for his mental illness. I know you might be shocked to hear this, but that might just have been a public relations ploy.

...

On August 15, Miller finally admitted that they were in the midst of "an intense crisis," and said in a statement: "I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment. 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." A source with knowledge of the situation tells Vanity Fair that the work currently consists of undergoing therapy.

Some friends say Miller has been so creative with the truth in the past--and so cavalier about getting mental health treatment--that they have a hard time taking the statement seriously. "If he is going through therapy," says one, "he's just acting through it." But Miller's spokesperson insists, "They are taking their therapy and treatment very seriously."

His mental illness is either getting worse, or he's playing it up as worse to excuse his criminal behavior.

Who knows.

He think he's Jesus, though.

Most sources described Miller's spiral as a conflagration of the mental health issues the actor has acknowledged, along with drugs, guns, and outlandish claims, that has raged for more than two years. They say the actor verbally and emotionally abused those around them and referred to themself alternately as Jesus and the devil. Three people say Miller has also wrapped the superhero they play into their grandiose speechifying. The actor, says one source, was "claiming that the Flash is the one who brings the multiverses together just like Jesus."

..

While in Iceland, Miller was accompanied by Jasper Young Bear, a 55-year-old North Dakota medicine man the actor had hired as a spiritual adviser. Young Bear seems to have stoked Miller's outsize vision of themself. "Jasper was telling Ezra that he wasn't a part of the movement, he was the movement--that he was the next Messiah and that the Freemasons were sending demons out to kill him," says a source, who, like others who have been close to Miller, sometimes misgenders the actor, who is said not to insist on they/them pronouns in private. (Young Bear did not respond to a request for comment; Miller's rep says he is "a dear friend.") In an interview with British GQ published the same month as the Iceland chokings, Miller seemed to suggest a higher purpose, telling the writer, "My prerogative is service. I'm here to do what I can for everybody I can do it for." The rest of the interview, per the writer, was less a conversation than a string of sermons. "I'm not sure exactly what everything means," he wrote, "but it sounds cool, so I nod my head along."

Here comes some grooming:

According to the insider, the actor has grown increasingly narcissistic, often choosing young people for their audience, because they are more malleable...

Sometimes, Miller would extend quixotic offers to people the actor met during their travels. Says a source, "He was telling these kids, 'You're going to be in my band, and I'm going to produce your album and you can run my music studio.' Whether they were visual artists, DJs, kids that were in college--or sometimes kids who might have been homeless--he would recruit them in a period of vulnerability, and promise them all of these things." Nothing ever seemed to materialize.

He'd invite people to his Vermont Pot Farm, which he calls "The Mountain."

[S]taying at Miller's meant abiding by the actor's rules, and tolerating the long monologues.

Miller is said to have woven young Tokata Iron Eyes into their narrative--

Remember, she's the 18 year old "nonbinary" girl, who he took a Very Special Interest in from age 14 and was seen having sex with when she was 16 (if not earlier).

-- claiming that the pair were fated to be together. (A rep for Miller maintains that the actor's relationship with the activist has always been platonic.) "Ezra is Jesus, and Tokata's an apocalyptic Native American spider goddess, and their union is supposed to bring about the apocalypse," recaps one person. "And that's the 'real' reason everyone is so opposed to them being together."

Iron Eyes's mother, Jumping Eagle, has heard Miller's story too: "They say they are some kind of messiah, and they're going to lead an Indigenous revolution." The actor themself does not have Native American ancestry, and, despite being fixated on native cultures, does not strike everyone as respectful. "He professes that he walks through this world with an Indigenous humility and spiritual awareness," says one Indigenous insider. "But, point of fact, he doesn't at all. Because he doesn't care."

The house in Vermont contains an altar that's home to bullets, weed, sage, and Flash figurines, according to two people who visited this year. "A lot of times he makes the women put their cell phones on the altar when they come in, and other offerings," says a longtime friend. "Ezra freaked out recently...demanding that Susan Sarandon come pay tribute to his altar because she didn't invite Ezra to a dinner party." (Sarandon and Miller "are dear friends," says Miller's rep. She adds that Miller "would probably call this [anecdote] total bullshit if asked." Sarandon did not respond to a request for comment.)

It's all perfectly normal. The altar, especially.

Now, prepare for a shock: Ezra Miller uses his "gender identity" as both a sword and a shield against people who question his abusive behavior, his crimes, and his grooming.

Some people who know Miller believe the star weaponizes their gender identity in certain situations. "If somebody pisses off Ezra, they're transphobic or a transphobic Nazi," says Iron Eyes's mother, Jumping Eagle. "Because we're trying to protect our daughter and we're trying to point out what Ezra's done to harm our daughter, now we're 'transphobic.'" A queer associate of Miller's says, "To me, those are clear instances of manipulation, where it's like, are you really queer? Or is that just a fun way to marginalize yourself so you can be even shittier to others?" Miller's rep calls this "completely untrue," saying the actor "stands up for civil rights, gender equality, encourages conversation and discourse, so weaponizing identity runs counter to who they are."

Several people expect Ezra Miller to kill himself or others with all of his guns. Or with his bows. He was in a movie as a child called We Have to Talk About Kevin, in which his character murdered four classmates with a bow. Purportedly, he kept the bow from that movie.

Sources describe Miller getting depressed and, to cheer himself up, brutalizing people emotionally:

During this low point, Miller is said to have put their phone on speaker and begun calling people to fire them in front of a small audience. "He fired every single person, starting from business people, his parents, just every single person, one by one," says someone who was present. Miller seemed to enjoy the calls: "He'd kind of start giggling after the person would start crying or something."

One final bit of news that won't surprise you: Reportedly, Miller is paying people off to make the charges against him go away.

Though Miller has interfaced with police in at least three precincts in an array of arrests, the actor's legal problems, through good luck or good lawyering, have mostly gone poof. VF has seen one nondisclosure agreement and heard of a handful of others in what three sources describe as a whack-a-mole style legal strategy of paying off alleged victims.
