'Flash' Star Ezra Miller Tells Police 'I Film Myself When I Get Assaulted For NFT Crypto Art'
Police released footage Wednesday of "Flash" actor Ezra Miller's arrest in March at a Hawaiian karaoke bar. The footage features Miller saying, "I film myself when I get assaulted for NFT crypto art."
Miller, 29, identifies as non-binary transgender and goes by they/them pronouns. Miller can be heard lashing out for being searched by a male police officer and claiming to have been touched on the penis.
After Miller made the crypto art comment, Miller can be heard yelling at the police officers: "What's your name? What's your badge number?" in footage from TMZ. "Full name. Full badge number," Miller shouted.
Police had arrested Miller in March for disorderly conduct in Hawaii. Miller told police that someone assaulted them during the arrest. Miller said the attacker had identified as a Nazi.
"The guy at that bar declared himself as a Nazi," Miller said in the clip. "I have it on film and he attacked me."
Miller's description of the events conflict with the police report. While at a karaoke bar called Margarita Village in Hilo, Hawaii, Miller became "agitated" as people began singing.
"Miller began yelling obscenities and at one point grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke (disorderly conduct offense) and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts (harassment offense)," the police report reads.
In April, Miller pled no contest to a disorderly conduct charge. A judge ordered Miller to pay a $500 fine and to never return to the karaoke bar.
This is not Miller's only incident of disorderly conduct or assault. Amid multiple scandals, there have been calls for the recasting of Miller in roles in both "Fantastic Beasts" and "The Flash."
