As a journalist, sometimes you hyperbolically use the word “shocking” to lure in readers, and then other times you write about Ezra Miller.

After generally causing chaos in 2022, a shocking new Vanity Fair piece has revealed yet more astounding claims about what the actor has been doing.

The publication interviewed over a dozen people who had either lived with or were still living with Miller at his secluded Vermont compound, forebodingly nicknamed “The Mountain.”

According to these people, Miller ruled with an almighty iron fist. “Ezra controls all the sex as the man, and plays the women against each other, screams at them, belittles them in front of the others,” one claimed.

While on a jaunt to Iceland – giving the poor residents of Hawaii a well-deserved respite – Miller reportedly made friends with a Native spiritual adviser, Jasper Young Bear, who would casually tell them they were “the next Messiah”, as you do. According to Mr. Bear, Freemasons were also “sending demons out to kill (them),” for unclear reasons.

After returning to “The Mountain,” Miller was allegedly transformed, becoming prone to “grandiose speechifying.” The people living there claimed they would call themselves both “Jesus” and the “devil”. If that wasn’t enough, Miller was also supposedly said that the Flash, their DCEU character, was the “Jesus” figure in he franchise’s multiverse.

“The Mountain” generally comes across as an unsafe space, reportedly littered with weapons and ammo, as well as an altar made of “bullets, weed, sage and Flash figurines.”

Despite all this, Warner Bros. Discovery, a company that clearly doesn’t value the saying ‘no news is good news’, is still sticking by The Flash and Ezra Miller. The troubled actor also recently announced they were seeking treatment for their “complex mental health issues,” which could affect the film’s eventual release.
