Claims legal accusations were manipulative

The “Asking for It” actor recently said they’ve considered returning to Hollywood “on tentative grounds” after friend and director Lynne Ramsay “asked me to come” to Cannes in support of the world premiere of her film “Die My Love,” reports deadline.com.

“I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who is Lynne Ramsay—who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers,” they told Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale.

“I’m working with her again, that will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together.”

Miller added: “I’ve been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me.”

The Fantastic Beasts actor said Cannes was a “tough re-entry point” after they were the subject of several incidents going back to 2020, including assault, harassment, burglary and the reported grooming of an 18-year-old, whose father withdrew the complaint last August.

“Not that I don’t hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I’m really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss,” added Miller.

After a temporary harassment order was lifted against Miller by a Massachusetts court following allegations that they behaved inappropriately around her 12-year old child, the actor told they were “very grateful” for the order, claiming that the woman was “seeking attention or fleeting tabloid fame or some sort of personal vengeance.”

“I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action,” added Miller in June 2023.

Hollywood gives too many chances to problematic stars while ignoring talented newcomers. As an Indian viewer, I'd rather see fresh faces than controversial figures getting repeated opportunities. Our Bollywood has started holding people accountable - Hollywood should learn!

The allegations against Miller are serious - grooming minors is unacceptable anywhere in the world. If this was a Bollywood star, there would be protests on streets. Why different standards for Hollywood? 🤔

As someone who enjoyed Fantastic Beasts, this is disappointing. In India, we believe in second chances but only after genuine repentance. Miller's statement sounds more defensive than remorseful. Actions speak louder than words!

The entertainment industry everywhere needs better accountability systems. In India we have the #MeToo movement - Hollywood should implement similar safeguards. No one should get special treatment because they're famous.

I'm conflicted. As an artist, Miller is brilliant. But multiple allegations can't be ignored. Maybe they should focus on writing behind the scenes for now? Our Indian values teach us that real change takes time and reflection.

Interesting how Western media handles controversies differently than Indian media. Here, such serious allegations would end careers permanently. Maybe we're too harsh, or maybe Hollywood is too lenient? Needs proper discussion.
