A Massachusetts judge granted a mother and her 12-year-old child a temporary harassment prevention order against non-binary Ezra Miller on Wednesday for harassment, brandishing a gun and inappropriate behavior toward the youth.

The child, who also identifies as non-binary, their mother and a neighbor told The Daily Beast that they met Miller at a house party in Greenfield, Connecticut, hosted by the family’s downstairs neighbor on Feb. 2. The host is reportedly in a band with a close friend of Miller’s.

At the party, The Flash actor erupted at the mother when she mentioned she had done some traveling recently with “her tribe” of people, accusing her of culturally appropriating Native American culture.

A conversation about board games also sparked an outburst after Miller claimed the game of Parcheesi had Rastafarian roots. The visiting neighbor, who is half-Black, asked what sect of the Rastafari movement it originated from.

“At this point, Ezra explodes and started screaming directly into my face,” the neighbor told The Daily Beast.

“They said, ‘You don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about. What did you say to me? What did you just say to me?!’”

“I was very caught off-guard,” the visiting neighbor continued.

“Then they opened up their jacket—they had this, like, big Sherpa jacket—and they opened up one side of their jacket, you could see a gun, and they said, ‘Talking like that could get you into a really serious situation.’”

According to the three, Miller also focused on the non-binary 11-year-old in a way that made them all uncomfortable.

The mother said Miller told her, “I’ve talked extensively with your child, and they have a lot of power to them. At one point, you’re going to realize that you don’t have any control over them anymore. They’re an elevated being, and they would be lucky to have someone like me guide them.”

“They automatically were just weirdly drawn to me and kept talking about how they love my outfit and love my style, and kept going on and on about how it was great,” the child recalled, referring to Miller.

“It was really uncomfortable. I was really nervous. I was scared to be around them after he’d yelled at my mother and she was crying.”

This restraining order comes one week after the parents of 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes filed for an order of protection against Miller, who met her when she was only 12 years old.

The parents accused Miller of "cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling" and "sexual predatory" behavior, including offering to fly Iron Eyes out to London when she was 14, giving her alcohol and drugs while underage, and trying to sleep in the same bed with her.

Warner Bros. have not commented on how the allegations against Miller would affect The Flash film, which has finished filming and is set to hit theaters in June 2023.
