Ezra Miller’s legal issues do not appear to be going away anytime soon. After being arrested twice in Hawaii, the actor is now accused of music theft by two of his former collaborators. The two, who have previously worked with Ezra, have stated that they intend to sue the actor. In the DC Extended Universe, Ezra Miller is best known for his role as Wally West, aka The Flash.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, music producer Oliver Ignatius and rapper Ghais Guevara claimed that Ezra published a piece of music they collaborated on without their permission or credit. The two claimed to have worked together, but the project fell apart. Ezra, on the other hand, later released the unfinished tracks on his own.
“What Ezra did was commit an… extremely unethical and hurtful act,” Oliver said, according to Ignatius. “They stole from artists with fewer resources than them, but who might have art that Ezra desires… The person I thought I knew was a far gentler soul than the one we’re currently seeing. It’s been a tumultuous journey.”
“We all had high hopes that it was going to be a project that was going to be beautiful, that was going to be meaningful for us,” Oliver said of how the project fell apart partly due to Ezra’s behavioural issues and legal troubles. However, it did not turn out that way. They appeared to be heading into dangerous waters. With their Hollywood career, they were having a scorched earth situation. They seemed to be on a very dangerous downward spiral, severing many of their relationships.”
Ghais went on to say that the two intend to take Ezra to court right now. He stated that he owns the song’s rights and that he intends to sue for damages. He also stated that they attempted to resolve the situation on their own, but that a meeting with Ezra was “neither good nor conciliatory.”
Ezra was arrested and released on bail in March after being charged with assaulting a person in Hawaii. After an argument, the actor was arrested again only three weeks later for allegedly hitting a woman with a chair. According to reports, Warner Bros. has put his DCEU career on hold, but the studio has denied this.
Ezra will star in his own DCEU film, The Flash, which will be released on June 23, 2023. Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Kiersey Clemons, and Sasha Calle also star in the Andrés Muschietti film.
