The Flash star Ezra Miller has officially broken their silence following multiple legal controversies, as they are now seeking treatment. Since 2014, after Miller was cast as Barry Allen in the DCEU, The Flash movie has endured many delays and development periods on its way to becoming a reality. From several directors and screenwriters boarding and departing, it wasn't until It director Andy Muschietti got attached to The Flash that the film went into principal photography before wrapping in late 2021.

However, since March 2022, the lead star has been in hot water as Miller has faced multiple legal troubles. It began with a number of arrests in Hawaii before allegations of grooming came up, which was followed by Miller seemingly going on the run as authorities couldn't locate The Flash actor. In the last few weeks, things began to ramp up again as Miller was charged with felony burglary. This made some question whether The Flash would be scrapped entirely.

As The Flash has been in the news a lot lately due to Miller's controversies, the 29-year-old star has now broken their silence. In a statement shared to Variety, provided by Miller's representatives, the non-binary actor apologizes for their actions while opening up about having gone through "a time of intense crisis." Check out Miller's full statement below.

“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. 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.”

According to the report, Warner Bros. Discovery is supporting Miller's decision to seek professional help. Since Miller's statement was released, there has been no indication of what this means for The Flash movie going forward, as it's still currently set to release on June 23, 2023. Even amid all the legal reports coming out, Miller still completed reshoots for The Flash this summer; there were no plans to replace the actor with a new star due to how expensive it would be.

In a recent report, Warner Bros. Discovery was allegedly looking at three options for how to deal with The Flash star's situation. One of them was to have Miller make a statement and seek professional help, which is the situation that is now happening. Even if the DCEU product goes forward and comes out next summer, there is no clarity yet if the studio is looking to continue working with Miller as the Flash in future DC movies. With Miller having shared this statement, it does seem to cancel out the idea of The Flash movie being scrapped altogether, which was one of the alternatives if the reports are true. While Miller has offered a public apology, it remains to be seen if the charges against The Flash actor will go anywhere.

This basically feels like watching The Boys in real life with him being A-Train and Vought International/Warner writing that statement for him lol
