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.

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.

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.

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.
