"If it was just one accusation, I might question it. But there are multiple parents getting restraining orders against #EzraMiller, so it must be true. It's not a coincidence, it's a pattern of behavior."

Okay, let's examine each instance and see if we can confirm that.
🧵

The first parents to accuse Ezra Miller of impropriety toward a minor were Chase Iron Eyes and Sara Jumping Eagle, parents of Tokata (Gibson) Iron Eyes, who was 18 at the time.

On 5/18/22 Chase & Sara filed for guardianship over Tokata, a legal adult.
Conservatorships are meant for incapacitated adults who are incapable of making their own decisions. The conservatee loses some or all of their legal autonomy; control is given to the conservator.

This is a highly unusual request for them to file, as Tokata is clearly a competent adult. They have an established career in activism, and were working alongside Ezra Miller, Oliver Ignatius & other friends to start a music career during this time.

After an extended trip recording music with friends, Tokata chose not to move back to their family's home. Their parents strongly disapproved.
Barely a week after the guardianship request was filed, Tokata publicly acknowledged their lgbtq+ identity in an Instagram story.

Over the next few months, Chase & Sara launched a relentless attack on Ezra Miller's reputation & Tokata's credibility. In interviews & social media, they & their supporters accused Miller of assault, of grooming Tokata since childhood & of targeting women with cult-like behavior

In June Chase claimed they could not locate Miller or Tokata, and set up an email address called "TrashTheFlash" asking for gossip. This sparked the rumor that Tokata had been abducted - a rumor that still persists despite Tokata's many public statements to the contrary.

Chase & Sara made a point of riling up prejudice against Miller. They attacked their identity, accusing them of using the lgbtq community as a shield & a way to prey on young lgbtq people. They freely labeled them a groomer, which is decades old anti-lgbtq propaganda.

Their anti-lgbtq sentiments were not limited to Miller. They also attacked Tokata's use of the nonbinary label. Despite the fact Tokata had also described themself as gay, Chase &Sara spread rumors they had a sexual relationship with Miller.
Both Tokata & Miller's rep denied this

Miller's spiritual beliefs were also under frequent attack. Sara's tweets ranged from calling them a "spiritual voyeur" to claiming they believe themself to be a god destined to bring about the apocalypse.

There is no record of Miller ever expressing any such belief.

In statements on social media, Tokata made multiple references to their parents' transphobia and feeling unsafe living in their home. They accused Chase & Sara of psychological & emotional manipulation, and of abusing their cultural and spiritual beliefs.

When Tokata spoke out in Miller's defense, denied the allegations and accused their parents of abusing them, Chase & Sara told reporters & supporters that Tokata was being drugged and controlled.
Clickbait headlines spread like wildfire and many people stopped listening to Tokata

For purposes of this thread it is important to note that the claims of grooming, cults, romantic obsession with Tokata and delusions of godhood all originally came to Tokata's parents from Miller's stalker, Lauren (Ren) Turner, in 2020.

In 2022 she confessed across social media that she made up false claims about Miller back in 2018 with the help of Miller's partner at the time, Mia Solange.

Solange remained in a relationship with Miller for the purpose of gathering information to share with Turner. Their gossip and speculation developed into the false claims Turner would later try to trick Chase Iron Eyes into believing in 2020.

Throughout 2018 Turner's stalking and harassment of Miller extended to their family, friends and fans. She went as far as harassing people on a reservation Miller once visited, and doxxing their mother and friends.

Despite attempts by Miller's friend to reach a peaceful resolution, Turner's behavior progressed to the degree that Miller had to get a restraining order for safety.

Moving forward to 2020, Turner tried unsuccessfully to convince Chase of the grooming lie. It wasn't until 2022, when Chase & Sara filed for permanent guardianship over Tokata, that they took her fabricated claims to the media (notably not law enforcement)

Briefly during the summer of 2022 Turner appeared to have a change of heart. She confessed across social media, shared private messages as evidence (as seen in this thread) and even gave interviews on youtube. None of this was ever reported by journalists.

Turner named specific people she worked with in a dedicated effort to defame Ezra Miller. Chase Iron Eyes was the first person she contacted.
Next was Oliver Ignatius, who had recently ended a 12 year friendship with Miller despite knowing they were being falsely accused.

Prior to their argument, Ignatius had publicly supported Miller and defended them against false claims made by Mia Solange. He & his family were past targets of Turner's harassment & had firsthand experience of how volatile her behavior could become. He chose to help her anyway.

Oliver began speaking to reporters, sometimes openly, sometimes anonymously. He repeated many similar talking points to Chase & Sara; from painting Ezra as an abuser & predator to infantilizing & outright lying about Tokata, who had to do an entire interview to debunk his lies.

It should also be noted that, despite accusations that Miller had given Tokata ketamine, the only person she was around who had documented access to or use of it was Oliver.

Further, the article on Chase's website that detailed their allegations of Miller's wrongdoing was conspicuously deleted just before the court case over Tokata's autonomy
This debunked & deleted article was the only proof Oliver offered when asked why he stopped supporting Miller

The hearing to determine whether Tokata would be placed in a permanent conservatorship under their parents came and went with almost no mention. Although tabloids had spent months hyping people up over the court date, only one article reported the outcome.

On 7/12/22 Standing Rock Civil Court found Tokata's parents abusive and unfit. They ruled in Tokata's favor and dismissed Chase & Sara's custody request.
In a private message, a friend of Miller & Tokata noted that it had been a long time since she had seen Tokata smile like that

Meanwhile, after a brief period of trying to fix her mistakes, Turner resumed harassing and threatening Miller, their partners, friends, and most concerning, their underage fans.
She ran a variety of dedicated hate accounts that sent death threats & explicit messages to minors.

Turner had active support on these accounts from Sara Jumping Eagle & Julie Miller of Vanity Fair. Both women seem to have been fully aware of who they were encouraging and the abusive behavior she was engaging in.

None of Turner's many public confessions of lying & organizing a defamation campaign were mentioned by journalists. She often misrepresented herself as Miller's friend & spoke to the media as an anonymous source. Many of her lies were presented by entertainment media as fact.

Knowing all of this, it's clear that Miller was never a danger to Tokata. They were, in fact, one of several friends trying to protect them from danger.

This leaves two more claims to examine.

The second parent to accuse Ezra Miller was Shannon Guinn. On June 15, 2022 she took out a harassment protection order against them on behalf of her nonbinary child. She told Daily Beast Miller verbally abused her, threatened her & showed concerning interest in her child

Per messages between Guinn and a friend, although an argument between her & Miller did occur, they apologized to her shortly after.

Around this time Guinn's child also saved Miller's dog from danger. Per her description to a friend, Miller was very grateful (naturally) and offered to support the child's dreams.

This is noticeably different from the account she later gave to journalists.

Afterward Guinn made multiple attempts to visit Miller & their mutual friends and pressured them to buy horses (though she later accused Miller of offering her child horses as lavish gifts in The Daily Beast).
Her efforts to interact with them seem to have been ignored.

This was around the same time reports & rumors about Tokata began circulating, so Guinn got in contact with Chase Iron Eyes.

Just days after their conversation Guinn filed the harassment protection order, despite having persistently sought Miller's company. Per a report by NBC, the order did not actually contain any allegations against Miller.

News of the protection order prompted Tokata Iron Eyes to speak out. In an Instagram story, they directly accused their father, Chase, of fabricating the situation.

Whitney Suters, a friend of Miller who was present for the interactions, also shared what he had witnessed. The details largely match what Guinn described, but put them in a very different light.

Although Suters' statements and her own text messages prove she was pursuing Miller, Guinn told journalists the actor repeatedly sought her and her family out.

Her behavior not only appears retaliatory, it directly supports the statement from Miller's rep, that a fan was disappointed in the lack of engagement and interest from the actor.

In an interview with Andy Signore on Popcorned Planet, Guinn's friend admitted that Miller had never actually done anything to Guinn's child that caused her concern; she was motivated solely by concern over what she was told about Tokata.

This admission, combined with the fact that the stories Guinn heard about Tokata were proved false, makes it clear that Miller was not a danger to her child in any way.

It does, however, establish that there was communication between everyone who was accusing Miller at the time.

This leaves one last claim to examine.

On June 23, 2022 Rolling Stone reported that a concerned father was accusing Miller of housing his ex & their children in unsafe conditions.

Though this article kept them both anonymous, the mother later identified herself as Ana Rosa. The father has chosen to remain anonymous in subsequent articles, but was revealed to be Ana Rosa's abusive ex, Cazanova Turner, aka Apharahi (no relation to Ren Turner).

According to Cazanova, the kids were exposed to drugs and weapons, and he had not been allowed to see them.

However, messages between him and Miller's team makes it clear that he was contacted by phone & email and invited to come get the kids. He refused due to the distance.

An image of guns strewn around Miller's living room was circulated as evidence. However, it was quickly revealed that they were toys and props from Miller's recent film Asking For It.

It was also later revealed by Ren Turner that she had connected Cazanova (who was staying with her at the time) to Oliver Ignatius. He provided the false information about the children's living conditions, which Cazanova gave to CPS & the media.

Ana Rosa was quick to debunk the claims, and gave multiple interviews describing the extent of abuse Cazanova inflicted on her and the children.

CPS and the police also visited the home and confirmed their safety.

According to Ana Rosa, Cazanova's plan was to get the children taken away from her by the state, then try to take custody.

Ren Turner's confession, seen above, seems to support this.

Unfortunately this did not slow the spread of rumors, and certain publications went so far as to hide Ana Rosa's comments calling them out for spreading false information.

Cazanova continued to supply journalists with false information about Ana Rosa and Miller, placing them in increasing danger. Eventually it reached a severity that necessitated Ana & her kids moving again.

Due to the severity of Cazanova's abuse and stalking, Ana Rosa was able to get a restraining order and is in the process of securing sole custody of her children.

She has been clear throughout the ordeal that Miller was always incredibly kind, generous and supportive of her and her kids. She called them an angel and credits them with saving her life and giving her family a safe place to heal.

Clearly, Miller was never a danger to Ana Rosa or her children.

This means all three claims of impropriety toward minors have been debunked.
And further, there is clear evidence and admission that the claims were all part of an organized effort to defame Miller.

Whether the people involved in the smear campaign will be held accountable remains to be seen.

It's equally uncertain whether the media will ever report the fact that Miller was proved innocent of the overwhelming majority of allegations.

Despite all the shocking headlines and unverified rumors the tabloids peddled, Miller's actual wrongdoing amounts to two misdemeanors - one relating to self-defense & one over a miscommunication with an old friend.

This is also another case of predatory media taking advantage of a celebrity's mental health crisis.

Miller's defamers & the media caused very real harm to Miller, Tokata, Ana Rosa and their friends & families. The public's anger toward Miller is manufactured and unjustified.

What's absolutely certain is that Ezra Miller is not, and never was, the predator they were portrayed as. Even in the midst of a mental health crisis & trial by media, they had the courage and integrity to stand against abuse to protect their loved ones.
