This is disturbing
Ezra needs to be fired from everything then taken straight to jail.

Damn, that's R. Kelly territory. Let's hope it doesn't take decades for him to be prosecuted.

Wtf. This pisses me off so much. People have been cancelled for so much less than this, fire this asshole, arrest him and recast his role. Ffs.

Yikes. I just looked at Tokata’s mother’s Twitter feed and there’s a photo of Ezra with Tokata that looks fairly recent and Tokata looks…well, her eyes are dead. I believe the parents. That young woman is in danger. Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle’s twitter

There's no way to remove Miller from the movie at this point unless they scrap everything and go back to the drawing board. The budget for the film was reported to be $100 million, and by now it's likely all spent. What with the delays and everything (they've planning to make it since 2013) I can't see the studio starting all over at this point.
I think Miller sounds like a hot mess, but I can also see why the studio doesn't want to go back to square one. I do hope that poor girl gets away from them, but she's 18 and if she refuses to leave, there's not much anyone can really do now.

I'm always torn about what to do about movies and projects when the star is embroiled in a scandal. On one hand, a movie represents the creative output of so many people that it seems unfair to punish everyone for the actions of one. On the other hand, some stars are guilty of such heinous behavior, like Ezra and Armie Hammer, that I won't be able to see past it and enjoy the movie. I don't feel too bad for the studio; they should do a better job of vetting their stars up front. If the history of other abusers is anything to go by, often times their behavior is a well-known secret in the industry before it blows up in public. Here, I think they should ax Miller from promotion and then recast for any sequels.

From my understanding (limited that it is) Ezra has been problematic for years. They have attacked several people- going back to 2017 I think. This isn't a new/sudden occurrence.

Tokata speaks and is "disappointed in my parents and the press." After first engaging in some word salad of a statement. link

I have removed several posts here that amounted to a critical judgment of the trans community as well as snarky responses aimed at fellow Greecies. Neither is appropriate here.
Keep it civil or keep it off the board. There is no third option.
Carry on.

Would the studio not release the movie due to the actors behaviour? Is that a possibility?
