After their most recent outburst, they have decided to seek help.

In recent years, nonbinary actor Ezra Miller, best known for their role as The Flash in the DC cinematic universe, has become an extremely controversial figure in the entertainment industry. In the past year alone, Miller has been arrested multiple times for violent, disorderly behavior, as well as theft and breaking and entering. Most recently, on August 8, Miller was arrested for breaking into a Vermont home to steal alcohol.

In light of these repeated incidents, Miller has finally decided to seek out mental health assistance for what is, in their words, a series of complex issues.

“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller told PEOPLE Magazine through their representative this week.

“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,” the actor added.

As of writing, Warner Bros. still has The Flash movie marked for a theatrical release on June 23, 2023, though insiders suggest that they are currently monitoring Miller’s situation closely to determine whether or not the production should be shelved.

“It’s a huge investment, and the last thing Warner Bros. wants to do is have this [movie] go away,” Gary Rosen, a crisis management PR expert, told PEOPLE. “For this to go on the shelf would be an enormous loss. I would think they want this movie to come out. And since it’s not scheduled to come out until June 2023, there’s time.”
