Malala Calls Out Hollywood: Muslim Actors Only Make Up 1% of Popular TV Series Leads

Issa Rae has called out the Hollywood movie industry for protecting Ezra Miller despite their controversial behaviour. The Justice League actor, who uses they/them pronouns, has been involved in a string of controversies, legal issues and run-ins with the police this year, but Warner Bros. still intends to release their standalone superhero movie The Flash next June.

Ezra Miller‘s string of erratic behavior over the past couple of years appears to be over, with the actor currently seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues.” And while it remains unclear if Miller redeems themselves enough to return to full-time acting —Miller uses they/them pronouns— it does look like Warner Bros. will stay the course with their release of “The Flash” next June.

told Elle.“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,” she added.“That is a clear example of the lengths that Hollywood will go to to save itself and to protect offenders,” Rae continued.

Back in 2020, Miller was seen in a video recording choking a woman outside of a bar in Iceland. Despite all of these incidents, the Miller-led comic book tentpole “The Flash” is still set for release in June 2023 from Warner Bros., with Miller even recently filming reshoots for the movie. “While I don’t support people jumping to immediate conclusions and I think it’s entirely fair for investigations to happen, I think it’s extremely important to, like the mantra says, ‘Listen to women,’” Rae told Elle magazine. “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.”

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic The first two seasons of “The Mole” came at a remarkable moment for the genre of reality TV. Premiering in 2001, the series was made during that brief and delicate time when competitors on mainstream broadcast unscripted series hadn’t yet figured out how to slip into the roles with which we’re familiar.
