Fact Check: The claims against Ezra Miller🧵

Over the past year there have been an overwhelming number of allegations & rumors circulating about #EzraMiller. Entertainment news & the paparazzi aren't exactly known for their journalistic integrity, so a fact check is in order.

First, a quick thank you to @pozmyneghole1 for working on this with me! Your record keeping is flawless.

Now, on to the allegations!

Claim: Ezra Miller choked a woman

❌ FALSE
A clip posted on 4/1/20 shows Miller using a trained stage combat maneuver.
When asked for context, the source deleted the clip instead, just 6 days later.
On 4/8/20 the Reykjavik Police stated they were not contacted about the incident

Claim: Ezra Miller groomed a minor

❌ FALSE
Ren Turner, a known stalker, confessed to co-creating this rumor in 2018 with Mia Solange. Tokata Iron Eyes, 18, vehemently denied the claim. In July 2022 the reservation's court ruled in Tokata's favor, clearing Miller of suspicion.

Since Tokata's parents were seeking a permanent conservatorship over a legal adult, the court would have required her to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Tokata is obviously competent & has also stated therapy; any grooming or manipulation would have been noticed.

In June a protection order against Miller by Shannon Guinn was reported by The Daily Beast. Per a later report by NBC it came after an argument with Miller & did not contain any allegations. Tokata publicly said it was fabricated by her father, who met with Guinn shortly prior.

Claim: Ezra Miller had an inappropriate friendship with Tokata Iron Eyes when she was a minor

❌ FALSE
Miller met Chase Iron Eyes through activism in 2012 & they continued working together for years on various causes. There is no evidence of a personal friendship with Tokata.

Additionally, Tokata is also an activist and has worked alongside many celebrities, activists & politicians, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Greta Thunberg and AOC.
None of the aforementioned cisgender individuals are under suspicion of unduly influencing her.

Claim: Ezra Miller kidnapped a minor

❌ FALSE
This refers to Tokata Iron Eyes, 18. Chase Iron Eyes, her father, claimed he could not locate Miller or Tokata to serve court documents. This statement was misleadingly reported by the media, despite Tokata's attempts to correct it.

Claim: Ezra Miller assaulted Sara Jumping Eagle

❌ FALSE
A news blog owned by Chase Iron Eyes reported that during an attempt to retrieve Tokata, Miller slammed Jumping Eagle's arm in a car door.
This directly contradicts the incident report Iron Eyes filed.

Per the incident report filed by Chase Iron Eyes on 5/29/22, Sara Jumping Eagle received a minor injury while trying to forcibly drag Tokata from a car. She refused treatment at the scene. Miller was on the other side of the car & could not have been the cause of the injury.

Claim: Ezra Miller is on the run & taunting the police

❌ FALSE
Miller was accounted for all year. They have cooperated with law enforcement at all times, including court appearances & safety checks by local police when Miller was receiving death threats.

The rumor was the result of irresponsible reporting by Sam Hargrave of The Direct. In June Miller shared memes which referred to private interpersonal conflicts. On 6/14/22 Hargrave reported his personal misinterpretation of them as fact without doing any due diligence.

Claim: Ezra Miller took Tokata Iron Eyes out of the country alone

❌ FALSE
Per the protection order Tokata's parents filed in June 2022, Miller flew her & others from Standing Rock to London. Articles implied they were alone, but Tokata's aunt confirmed she was always chaperoned

Claim: Ezra Miller controlled Tokata Iron Eyes' statements & social media

❌ FALSE
This claim was made by Sara Jumping Eagle. Tokata refuted it, and the Standing Rock Youth Council confirmed they contacted her and she was "answering as the Tokata we all know and love".

Claim: There are multiple assault charges against Ezra Miller

❌ FALSE
There are no assault charges against Miller. They pled no contest to a disorderly conduct charge in March. On 10/17/22 Miller pled not guilty to a nonviolent burglary charge. The next hearing is in January.

Claim: Ezra Miller harassed a woman in Germany

❌ FALSE
On June 30, Variety reported a woman's account of an upsetting encounter with Miller. However, during the time the alleged event occurred, Miller was not even in Germany.

Claim: Ezra Miller threw a chair at a woman, injuring her

⚠️ INACCURATE
On 4/19/22 Miller intervened to protect a woman from a man wielding a knife. They threw a chair in defense, but it mistakenly hit a nearby woman. She refused treatment for a 1/2in cut & did not press charges

While the thrown chair has been widely reported, the context of Miller protecting a woman & her children from domestic abuse is almost always left out. The woman, Ana Rosa, frequently criticized the media for their selective and misleading reports.

Claim: Ezra Miller held a woman & children hostage

❌ FALSE
This rumor refers to Ana Rosa, the domestic abuse survivor who escaped with Miller's help in April.
She publicly refuted the claim, stating that Miller provided a temporary safe haven for her & her kids.

Claim: Ezra Miller housed kids in dangerous conditions

❌ FALSE
This claim was made by Cazanova Turner, their father & abuser, despite never having seen the home. Their mother, Ana Rosa, refuted this. After investigating, CPS confirmed the children were safe and "looked good".

This rumor was refueled by Cheyenne Roundtree's Rolling Stone article on 8/10/22. It cast aspersions on AnaRosa & heavily favored the perspective of her abusive ex.
AnaRosa & her kids had left Miller's farm and were living independently. She kept their location private for safety

Claim: Ezra Miller runs a cult

❌ FALSE
This rumor was the result of irresponsible reporting by multiple journalists, including Katie Warren, Melkorka Licea & Julie Miller. They all reported unverified claims from anonymous sources. There is no evidence to support the claims.

The aforementioned journalists are known to have used Miller's stalker as an anonymous source. Miller filed a restraining order against her in 2018 due to the severity of her stalking & threats. Turner has a documented history of lying about her identity to get access to Miller

Claim: Ezra Miller threatened a fan

❌ FALSE
On 7/2/22 Tiktok user Peter Knight shared a clip of him talking & joking with Miller in 2020. However it was presented as recent & edited in a way that removed the context of being mutually understood as a joke

Claim: Ezra Miller is going to prison for 26 years for burglary

⚠️ INACCURATE
This case is ongoing; Miller plead not guilty. 26 years is the maximum possible sentence. However, as it was nonviolent & caused by a miscommunication, legal experts say the max sentence won't apply.

Claim: Ezra Miller is protected from consequences by privilege

❌ FALSE
Miller is Jewish & non-binary. The majority of false claims against them relied heavily on harmful stereotypes & propaganda frequently used against both communities. Predatory media made them a scapegoat.

The role of Penske Media cannot be understated. Entertainment brands under their ownership were often the first to report inflammatory & poorly researched articles. Their fake celebrity gossip stirred up hatred & tension against communities already facing increased violence.

Additionally, investigations into the allegations have consistently proved Miller's innocence.
To date, the only conviction was a disorderly conduct charge from March. The rest was the result of celebrity stalking & a vicious, hate-fueled smear campaign.

Those who know Miller have described them as an angel, a protector, and both caring & compassionate.

With all this in mind, it's clear that Ezra Miller is not a monster, simply a person going through a crisis who has been severely taken advantage of.

And here

Here's a clearer view of the shirt Ezra Miller is wearing in the picture above. It reads "Iron Eyes for Congress". In addition to their shared work in activism, Miller supported Iron Eyes' campaign in 2016.

Poz reminded me of one more misconception that's important to address.

Claim: Ezra Miller admitted guilt by apologizing for crimes

❌ FALSE
Miller apologized for worrying their loved ones during a mental health crisis. They have not addressed any specific allegations publicly.
