Ezra Miller, who prefers the pronouns they/them, has been at the heart of several accusations. From 'grooming' an 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes to holding 3 children and a yound mother hostage at his Vermont farm, the actor is wanted by authorities but is nowhere to be found. Now, an old TikTok video has resurfaced on the Internet where Miller can be seen threatening to 'knock out' a retail worker, prompting netizens to wonder if they had always been prone to violence but escaped scrutiny as a Hollywood star. 

The 2020 TikTok video has been brought back into circulation by Peter Knight, the retail worker in the video, who re-posted it on Sunday, July 3. Miller can be heard saying, "It’s an option I present people, always. I can always just knock you out and then you won’t have to panic. Just let me know. No? Yes?” Knight can be seen hesitant and confused as he says, "What?" He captioned the post, "I just wanted a picture dawg," referring to the actor. It is not unusual for fans to request pictures and Knight, as a 'Justice League' fan had asked Miller for a picture to which they replied with the offer to knock them out. The post has since been liked by 800,000 likes as of Tuesday, July 5, with comments trolling this weird encounter of Knight with the 29-year-old actor

One person commented, "Bro accidentally said yeah to getting punched.” Another user commented, "Everyone finds [them] but the police." The latter comment takes a dig at the efforts of the police as the actor is nowhere to be found, which hinders the court from serving them with restraining orders. Tokata Iron Eyes' parents were able to issue a protective order against the actor by the Standing Rock Sioux tribal court in North Dakota. The court has scheduled a hearing on July 12 where Tokata and Miller both can weigh in and keep their side of the stories on the table. As of now, the actor's whereabouts are unknown and there are no leads on their current location.

Ezra Miller's many controversies

The actor, who will be seen in Warner Bros. 'The Flash' in 2023 is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. It all started with their reckless behavior in Hawaii when they were arrested twice - first for disorderly misconduct in March, and harassment, and then for second-degree assault in April. In July itself, they were accused of holding 3 young children and a young mother surrounded by unattended firearms, marijuana, and other dangerous elements at their Vermont farmhouse. In June, they were accused of calling a woman a 'Nazi' when she said that she was a Holocaust survivor.

They have been previously accused by two parents of grooming their 18-year-old daughter, Tokata, with "cult-like” and “psychologically manipulative” behaviors. However, Tokata has adamantly denied these allegations. Merely days later, another parent of a 12-year-old daughter accused the actor of behaving inappropriately. According to The Daily Beast, both the parents were able to grant themselves a temporary restraining order against the actor.
