In a recent TikTok video, troubled actor Ezra Miller offers to “knock out” a store employee who requests a selfie.
The happy store employee, who is on the video with The Flash actor, 29, smiles tensely when Miller demands a reaction to his threat of violence.
I simply wanted a picture dawg! is the caption for the strange 10-second movie, which was re-posted by the TikTok user @peterknight2800 on Sunday.
It has received over 3.5 million views.
Miller, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, says at the beginning of the film, “It’s a choice I present people with, constantly.”
He continues, “I can always just knock you out and then you won’t have to panic.”
The store employee agrees, not quite understanding Miller’s point, “Okay, you’re simply going to knock everybody out.”
Miller continues, calmly but menacingly, “You just let me know,” to which the employee replies, “Yeah.”
The store employee responds to Miller’s questions with “what?” and a nervous giggle before turning to face him before the video ends.
The incident was only one of several conflicts surrounding the Justice League star, who has recently been involved in a number of disputes and arrests.
After deactivating their Instagram account last month following a series of messages that included an image that stated “you cannot touch me I am in another planet” in addition to several other perplexing posts, the actor was assumed to be hiding out.
The performer has a list of recent issues that dates all the way back to 2020.
In Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital, Miller was seen on tape choking and assaulting a lady in April 2020.
The actor, 29, was detained on March 28 for disorderly behaviour and harassment following an altercation at a bar in Hilo, Hawaii, during which he spit in someone’s face at karaoke venue Margaritas Village.
Miller was also accused by the couple he was staying with in Hilo, Hawaii.
Just days after his arrest, they allegedly broke into the couple’s bedroom, grabbed the husband’s wallet and the wife’s passport, and said “I will bury you and your sl** wife.”
According to Radar Online, the trio had gotten along before the March 28 incident after first meeting at a farmer’s market.
After the actor allegedly hurled a chair at a woman’s head when she ordered them to leave her home, they were then detained a second time in Hawaii on Tuesday, April 19.
A teenager’s parents charged Miller with controlling their daughter, dousing her in booze, LSD, and marijuana, and acting in a “cult-like” manner towards her.
They further contend in their lawsuit that the actor provided their minor daughter with booze and drugs and interfered with her private schooling in Massachusetts to the point where she left in December.
According to them, the actor had a “pattern of corrupting a minor.”
Last month, Miller received a new restraining order due to allegations that the actor harassed a 12-year-old non-binary child and made a gun threat to the child’s mother after accusing her of cultural appropriation.
Warner Bros. called an emergency meeting the day following Miller’s first arrest in Hawaii for spitting in someone’s face to cancel projects they were working on.
Despite the fact that Miller’s The Flash is scheduled to debut next year, insiders told Rolling Stone that Miller, who has a history of “meltdowns,” will not be participating in any public appearances for the DC Cinematic Universe.
