Issa Rae wonders why Ezra Miller always gets a pass

After a litany of allegations and crimes that include physical abuse, burglary and demanding Susan Sarandon pay tribute to them, Ezra Miller is still getting work in Hollywood. Now, actress Issa Rae is lashing out at how Ezra Miller is catered to in Tinseltown.

In a new interview with Elle, Issa Rae bluntly said, “I’m gonna be real, the stuff that’s happening with Ezra Miller is, to me, a microcosm of Hollywood. There’s this person who’s a repeat offender, who’s been behaving atrociously, and as opposed to shutting them down and shutting the production down, there’s an effort to save the movie and them.”

After sitdowns with Miller, Warner Bros. is still moving forward with The Flash, which stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen, a role they played in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League and more.

“That is a clear example of the lengths that Hollywood will go to to save itself and to protect offenders,” said Rae. “So, don’t do that, and women may be able to thrive.”

Issa Rae, who gained popularity with her YouTube series Awkward Black Girl and created HBO’s well-liked Rap Sh!t, also spoke out against the post-#MeToo Hollywood, saying, “It feels like we’re regressing, depressingly so. There are just too many enablers for there to be real change. People have to be held accountable. There have to be legitimate consequences.”

Issa Rae has been quite busy as of late. Other than Rap Sh!t, Rae also appeared in B.J. Novak’s directorial debut, Vengeance. Next year, she will play a Barbie in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and voice Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman in next year’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
