The parents seeking a court-ordered restraining order for their 18-year-old againstEzra Millersay the actor and their teenager “remain on the run.”
Ajudge signed a protective orderat Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Court earlier this week, though, according to legal documents, the court “cannot locate or serve” the order to Miller, 29, because theJustice Leagueactor’s current whereabouts are unknown.
“Our daughter’s basically brainwashed,” says Sara.
“I am now aware of the severity of emotional and psychological manipulation I was made to endure while in my parents home,” read part of the message. “I am an adult and I deserve to feel authority in my own body.” (The parents, meanwhile, don’t think their child wrote this statement and claim Miller doesn’t allow people in their inner circle to carry phones so they feel “safer,” yet the actor “always has a phone” for their own personal use.)

They added to the outlet that “Ezra and our crew” will speak out “when we see fit.”
In a video posted Thursday, the teen spoke to the camera, saying that “nobody is controlling my Instagram account,” and that they wrote the statement themself. They do not have a phone right now, though, “out of my own personal conviction.”
“It’s really distressing that the narrative of the ‘victim’ in question is not being granted any trust. I worked really hard to make really clear what was going on,” they said in the video. “If the statements are too profoundly contrasting to whatever assumptions those of us have garnered and have chosen to carry, I’d like to say that it’s nobody’s business and nobody is owed a story. Or an outcome.”
They continued, “This is my life. These are my decisions. And I’m disappointed in my parents and the press in every way. Thank you.”
In recent months, Miller has beenarrestedand faced legal trouble while in Hawaii, causing one couple to get thenlater drop a restraining order, for example. The actor, who appeared in the recently releasedFantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, headlines the upcomingThe Flashmovie, which is already filmed and has had its release date delayed until next year.
“The implosion of Ezra is multi-faceted, and it’s just the beginning,” the father adds.
Sara, mirroring allegations in the court documents, says “Ezra’s pattern as they just keep using and abusing people, they’ll move on to other people, and we’re going to have to deal with and help our daughter heal from the after effects. We also want people to know what Ezra’s doing so they can make informed decisions and protect their kids.”
