Miller has faced a slew of charges in the past year, including a disorderly conduct and harassment charge while in Hawaii, only to be followed by a second-degree assault charge less than a month later. During this particular incident in April, Miller reportedly became enraged after being asked to leave a "get-together at a Big Island home and threw a chair, hitting a woman in the forehead," per the Hawaii Police Department.
Additionally, Miller has been accused in the past of harassing a woman in her home in Berlin, as well as choking a woman in a bar in Iceland.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}While the Warner Bros. film, "The Flash," starring Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton and Miller is still slated for 2023, not everyone in Hollywood is as accepting of Miller's actions.
"Insecure" actress Issa Rae recently shared her dismay with how the entertainment industry was handling Miller's continued misconduct. She told Elle Magazine, "That 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."
She called Miller a "repeat offender."
