UPDATE: On August 16, 2022,Ezra Miller apologized for their “past behavior"and said they would beseeking treatment for “complex mental health issues.“A complete timeline of Miller’s controversies can be found here.

According to multiple outlets includingDeadlineandRolling Stone, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is said to be considering a replacement for Miller after releasingThe Flash,which was completed before Miller’s latest round of legal woes and delayed due to the pandemic.

The splashy comic book movie, in which Warner Bros. reportedly invested $200 million, wrapped production last fall and is currently due to hit theaters on June 23, 2023.

The news of Miller’s career trouble follows several disturbing accusations. On June 15, the mother of a 12-year-old Greenfield, Massachusetts, child was granted a temporary order of protectionforbidding the 29-year-old movie star—who identifies as transgender nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns—from contacting the minor after a February incident.

According toTheDaily Beast, which interviewed the mother and the child (who also identifies as nonbinary) but did not name them, Miller was in Massachusetts playing a game with the family at a neighbor’s home when, the neighbor claims, Miller became enraged, flashed a gun and threatened the group.

The child, who reportedly met Miller through an acquaintance, told the outlet that they were “scared” of Miller.

A representative for Greenfield District Court confirmed to PEOPLE an order of protection was granted, but declined to provide additional details.

Chase Iron Eyes and his wife, Sara Jumping Eagle, claim Miller was “psychologically manipulative” toward their child, who is allegedly on the run with Miller.

While Jumping Eagle toldPeoplethat their child is “basically brain-washed,” the teen said “Ezra is innocent” in a June 16 post on Instagram, adding “This is my life. These are my decisions. And I’m disappointed in my parents and the press in every way.”

As the story continues to unfold, Miller, who was twice arrested in Hawaii, in March and April, for disorderly conduct and second-degree assault (one couple decided tolater drop a restraining order) has apparently deactivated their Instagram account, and authorities have been unable to reach them.

Warner Bros. declined to comment to PEOPLE and efforts to reach representatives for Miller have been unsuccessful.
