Excusing Ezra?
What Ezra Miller’s case says about the problematics of using mental health to frame abuse as “wild behaviour.”
Across the last few weeks, Ezra Miller’s name has been plastered across major journalistic platforms. The last 3 years Miller has accumulated quite a graphic rap sheet of disturbing allegations. In between this period, The Independent wrote a story on how the actor was said to have disappeared, (conveniently timed) just moments after their 2022 grooming allegations came to light. Ezra Miller is a 29-year-old, non-binary actor. Some of their most acclaimed work spreads across their roles in The Flash, Fantastic Beasts and the psychologically daunting 2011 movie, We Need to Talk about Kevin. Across the last 3 years, the media has kept a close eye on Miller, documenting each allegation along the way. However, across the last two weeks, the narrative has dramatically changed, as Miller recently approached journalists with a response to the accusations.
