Issa Rae Calls Out Hollywood For Protecting 'Repeat Offender' Ezra Miller

Issa Rae has slammed Hollywood for continuing to "protect" offenders and allowing "a constant pattern of abuse" to persist in the industry.

In a new interview, the "Insecure" actress said that the fact that producers are still trying to save Ezra Miller and their superhero flick "The Flash" instead of shutting them down following the actor's multiple arrests just shows that Hollywood is "very bad about consequences."

"While I don't support people jumping to immediate conclusions and I think it's entirely fair for investigations to happen, I think it's extremely important to, like the mantra says, 'Listen to women,'" Rae told Elle magazine. "I'm gonna be real, the stuff that's happening with Ezra Miller is, to me, a microcosm of Hollywood."

She continued, "There's this person who's a repeat offender, who's been behaving atrociously, and as opposed to shutting them down and shutting the production down, there's an effort to save the movie and them."

According to Rae, Miller is a "clear example of the lengths that Hollywood will go to save itself and to protect offenders."

"So, don't do that, and women may be able to thrive. They won't have to live in fear of keeping silent because it'll ruin their careers. It's just a constant pattern of abuse that'll only persist if Hollywood continues to insist on being this way," the actress continued.

Miller made headlines in 2020 after a video recording surfaced in which they appeared to be choking a woman outside of a bar in Iceland. No charges were filed.

The actor was also arrested twice in Hawaii this year, once for disorderly conduct and harassment, Variety reported. The actor pled no contest to a single count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and paid a $500 fine and $30 in court costs. The harassment charge was dismissed.

Miller was also charged with felony burglary in Vermont, after state police investigated an incident involving several bottles of alcohol being taken from a residence while the homeowners were not present. The actor was originally slated to appear in court on Sept. 26, but the arraignment was pushed back to next Monday.

In August, Miller broke their silence and said they would be seeking treatment for "complex mental health 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 said in a statement to Variety. "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."

Miller's "The Flash" will hit theaters on June 23, 2023.

Meanwhile, Rae also had a warning for those who look up to her. She told Elle that they should "proceed with caution" because she's not one to watch herself or be more cautious for her legions of fans.

"I'm very transparent about my mistakes. I'm very transparent about my journey. But I don't have to watch myself or what I do," she explained.
