Sick of me yet? Pompous pest Pascal in desperate race to make America hate him



Pedro Pascal has a Rachel Zegler problem, and he doesn’t even know it.

The ubiquitous actor (he’s in four movies and a TV show this year alone) is set to play Reed Richards in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” on July 25. The Marvel Comics supergroup previously hit theaters in several lackluster films, most recently the 2015 dud starring Miles Teller.

Rob Reiner’s reign as the ultimate Trump derangement victim may be over.

So plenty is riding on this reboot of a reboot. Enter Pascal, who can’t stop making incendiary comments to alienate potential ticket buyers. Remember how he compared Trump voters to Nazis?

See the Zegler connection?

Pascal recently attacked J.K. Rowling for the crime of defending women against trans women in sports. Does he regret his profanity-laced rant against the author?

Nope. Per Variety:

"The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, 'Am I helping? Am I f**king helping?'" Pascal told [Vanity Fair]. "It’s a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f**king sick."

If “The Fantastic Four” underwhelms at the box office, Pascal may find his opportunities to offer such "help" rapidly disappearing.

He/his/has-been

They’s ba-ack!

Actor Ezra Miller resurfaced this week, announcing plans to co-write and star in a vampire movie co-created by filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. The actor, who switched to they/them pronouns mid-career, made all the worst headlines in recent years.

Miller’s rap sheet would make Alec Baldwin blush.

The star’s breakout film, 2023’s “The Flash,” flopped. That gave Hollywood permission to quietly cancel the nonbinary star.

Miller is penning a comeback story. Here’s betting audiences won’t care no matter how Miller refers to himself/themself ...

Rosie takes Trump derangement crown

Rob Reiner’s reign as the ultimate Trump derangement victim may be over. The once-mighty director behind “Misery,” “The Princess Bride,” and “This Is Spinal Tap” admitted he sought therapy following President Donald Trump’s 2024 victory.

Enter the new TDS queen, Rosie O’Donnell.

Not only did “The Flintstones” star flee America for Ireland following November 5, she can’t get her longtime nemesis out of her head. She recently suggested a recount to make extra sure Trump won in November.

Now, she’s admitting Trump’s revival had other effects on her.

“I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking,” O’Donnell told Cuomo. “It hurt my heart that America believed the lies about him. And then it broke my heart to be in a business that creates and sells those lies for profit.”

Your move, Reiner ...

Late night host's Mamdani mania

Seth Meyers is all in on socialism.

If that wasn’t clear by his past monologues, the former “Saturday Night Live” player made it clear via his love for New York’s Zohran Mamdani — the avowed socialist whose surprise primary victory over Andrew Cuomo Tuesday gives him a great shot at being New York City's next mayor.

See, fellow Democrats. You don’t have to shift to the center. Go the full Mamdani! And if that means diminishing October 7 or embracing the kind of "wealth redistribution" that always leads to breadlines, all the better!

“The point is, Bernie's right. Bernie’s right," gushed Meyers. "All we have is each other."

"And to the liberals who are always saying we need a liberal Joe Rogan: Are you seeing this?" the desk-chair revolutionary continued. "It turns out all you need to do is be more like Bernie Sanders. There's no secret trick. You just need to be genuine. You need to run on ideas that will improve people's lives.”

Just ask the fine folks of Chicago, currently wilting under another socialist regime. Let’s see how long before Mayor Mamdani’s poll numbers reach 14% like Chicago’s own Brandon Johnson ...

Moron Maron misses mark

Poor Marc Maron.

The far-left comedian had a meltdown on his “WTF Podcast” this week, bemoaning how anti-woke comedians had won the culture war.

He’s right. Mostly.

Need proof? Bert Kreischer just snagged a Netflix sitcom and Shane Gillis will host the upcoming ESPYS telecast.

That leaves Maron, who recently announced the end of his long-running podcast, bemoaning that cancel culture no longer silences stand-up.

Comedians against comedy. Good riddance, Marc ...

'Bond' boon

Oh, and “Dune” director Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film. That’s the first good 007 news in so long we forget the last item.

Meaningful Superhero Movies Like ‘The Flash’ Shine Amid Hollywood’s Formulaic Film Overkill

'The Flash' balances frivolity with a thoughtful narrative that asks more of the hero than simply figuring out how to defeat the bad guy.

12-year-old granted protection order against 'Flash' actor Ezra Miller after alleged arguments about cultural appropriation, vampires, and Parcheesi



A mother and her 12-year-old child have been granted an order of protection against actor Ezra Miller by a Massachusetts judge.

On Wednesday, the Greenfield District Court said the temporary harassment prevention order "was issued without advance notice because the Court determined that there is a substantial likelihood of immediate danger of harassment," NBC News reported.

The mother – who asked not to be identified out of privacy concerns – said she and her child met Miller through an acquaintance.

The Daily Beast spoke with the mother, the 12-year-old, and a neighbor who was present during the altercation.

On Feb. 2, Miller was allegedly visiting a musician friend in Greenfield, Massachusetts, which is 40 miles from Miller's house in Stamford, Vermont.

Miller was wearing a bulletproof vest, according to the neighbor.

Miller became infuriated when the mother said she had recently traveled with "her tribe" of people – which caused Miller to lash out and accuse her of cultural appropriation, according to the report.

The Daily Beast reported, "Then, a conversation about board games allegedly went sideways when, after Miller claimed that the board game Parcheesi had Rastafarian roots, the visiting neighbor –who is half-Black – questioned Miller as to which sect of the Rastafari movement it originated from."

"At this point, Ezra explodes and started screaming directly into my face,” the neighbor told the outlet. "They said, ‘You don’t even know what the f*** you're talking about. What did you say to me? What did you just say to me?!’"

The neighbor claimed that Miller opened up one side of a jacket – which revealed a gun.

According to the mother and neighbor, the 29-year-old actor said, "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."

Miller then allegedly verbally attacked the mother – who dresses in a goth aesthetic. He purportedly accused her of being a witch and a vampire, and screamed at her, "Do you want to drink my blood? Do you!?"

The "Justice League" and "Fantastic Beasts" star allegedly apologized for his behavior, but there were reportedly three other concerning confrontations – the most recent on June 4.

The mother alleged that Miller tightly and uncomfortably hugged the child.

"During the June visit, the child expressed their interest in horses, and Miller said that they would acquire several horses so that the child could help them care for the herd on their Vermont farm, which also struck them as inappropriate," according to The Daily Beast.

Earlier this month, Miller was accused of grooming a young environmental activist by using 'cult-like' behavior, drugs, and threats of violence. The parents of Tokata Iron Eyes accused Miller of "psychologically manipulating, physically intimidating, and endangering the safety and welfare" of their now-18-year-old daughter. The parents claim that Miller began grooming their daughter at age 12.

Tokata Iron Eyes has defended her relationship with "comrade" Miller.

Authorities have yet to "locate or serve" Miller with a restraining order that was initiated by the parents.

Miller possibly taunted police in an Instagram post, according to Newsweek. Miller posted a meme that read, "You cannot touch me, I am in another universe." Miller has since deleted his entire Instagram account.

Miller, the 12-year-old child, and Tokata Iron Eyes all identify as nonbinary individuals.

Despite multiple recent arrests and public outbursts, Warner Bros. still plans to release "The Flash" starring Miller in 2023 as scheduled, according to Variety.

Ezra Miller accused of grooming activist since she was 12, parents say 'Flash' star manipulated young daughter with 'cult-like' behavior, drugs, and threats of violence



Actor Ezra Miller is being accused of grooming a young environmental activist by using 'cult-like' behavior, drugs, and threats of violence. The parents of the alleged victim claim Miller began grooming their daughter at age 12, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. However, the alleged victim declared that her "comrade Ezra Miller" has "only provided loving support and invaluable protection."

Attorney and activist Chase Iron Eyes and his pediatrician wife Sara Jumping Eagle filed court documents against Miller. They accused the 29-year-old Hollywood actor of "psychologically manipulating, physically intimidating, and endangering the safety and welfare" of their now-18-year-old daughter. In the documents filed in Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Court, the parents also alleged Miller of being "physically and emotionally abusing" to their daughter – Tokata Iron Eyes.

The parents say that Miller met Tokata during the 2016 Standing Rock Reservation protests in North Dakota – where environmentalists railed against the Dakota Access Pipeline. At the time, she was 12 and Miller was 23.

"Miller came to the Standing Rock Reservation in 2016 and established contact with Tokata Iron Eyes under the pretense of assisting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe during the NoDAPL movement," the court documents read, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"Ezra Miller took an immediate and apparently innocent liking to Tokata Iron Eyes and began to formulate relations with Tokata; Ezra flew Tokata Iron Eyes and other Standing Rock tribal members to London, United Kingdom (to tour the "Harry Potter - Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" studio in which Ezra Miller played a significant character) in December 2017 where Miller attempted to sleep in the same bed as Tokata Iron Eyes who was 14 years old at that time," the documents allege.

The court filing claims Miller was "prevented from sleeping in the same bed with Tokata at that time by a chaperone."

The parents claimed that the "Flash" star exhibited a "pattern of corrupting a minor" by supplying Tokata alcohol and drugs like marijuana and LSD as a teen.

The legal filing claimed that the "Fantastic Beasts" actor offered to pay for Tokata to attend Bard College at Simon's Rock in Massachusetts at the age of 16. The parents claimed Miller "would later use this against Tokata to create a sense of indebtedness."

The parents alleged that Tokata dropped out of Bard College in December, then traveled to Miller's Vermont home in January.

The court docs stated that Tokata returned home and spent three weeks "detoxifying." Tokata then traveled with Miller to New York City, Los Angeles, and Hawaii.

The parents say that Tokata doesn't have a driver's license, bank cards, or keys – which they believe is preventing their daughter from acting on her own accord.

The complaint stated that Miller displays "cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling behavior," according to People magazine. The parents said Miller "uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata."

Page Six reported, "The parents claimed in court documents that their child previously identified as 'non-binary, queer, gay,' but alleged that Miller has since convinced them that they are non-binary transgender."

Entertainment Weekly noted that Tokata uses the "she/they" pronouns, but her parents alleged that Miller "has decided that Tokata is to be called 'they.'"

People reported, "A judge signed the request for a protective order – which instructs Miller to not have contact or harass Tokata, Sara, or Chase. Miller may not come within 100 yards of their residence. The judge noted that the court 'cannot locate or serve' the order to Miller because his location is unknown."

The hearing on Chase's request is scheduled for July 12, at the Tribal Court in Fort Yates, North Dakota, according to Newsweek.

Tokata addressed the allegations in an Instagram post with the caption: "CONTEXT."

"I dropped out of Bard five months ago, my friend and comrade William passed shortly thereafter, my mind was incredibly impacted and I've needed space and time for the processing of grief," the activist stated. "My comrade Ezra Miller for the entirety of the aforementioned era has only provided loving support and invaluable protection throughout this period of loss."

Tokata called her own father "transphobic," and said her parents are guilty of "emotional and psychological manipulation."

"I am in no way, or under any circumstance have ever been during my short lived adulthood, in need of a conservatorship," Tokata wrote. "My father and his allegations hold no weight and are frankly transphobic and based in the notion that I am somehow incapable of coherent thought or opposing opinions to those of my own kindred worrying about my well-being. I am now aware of the severity of emotional and psychological manipulation I was made to endure while in my parents home."

"I am an adult and I a deserve to feel authority in my own body," Tokata added. "It is no ones business, my choices are my own, and as to the nature of police intervention in my ‘case’ it is unnecessary and it is a waste of time and resource."

"This bout of blatant betrayal and toxicity my parents and others have chosen to punish me with has been desperately embarrassing and traumatically life-altering," Tokata proclaimed. "Relationships in my life have been grossly affected, some detrimentally so. This behavior is unacceptable and needs to be called out."

Tokata also posted a video on Instagram regarding the allegations that she is a victim of Miller.

"Nobody is controlling my Instagram account. I don't have a phone right now out of my own personal conviction," Tokata said.

"Honestly, it's really distressing that the narrative of the victim in question is not being granted," Tokata said. "I'd like to say that it's nobody's business and that no one is owed a story or an outcome. This is my life. These are my decisions and I'm disappointed in my parents and the press in every way."

Miller has yet to comment on the allegations.

Miller has had multiple run-ins with police this year.

Miller was arrested for harassment and disorderly contact at a karaoke bar in Hawaii on March 27. During the arrest, Miller became furious when a police officer didn't use the actor's preferred pronouns.

After being addressed as "sir," Miller lashed out at the cop, "I'm sorry, I'm not a sir. I'm transgender nonbinary. Please don't call me a sir."

The officer responded, "I was just trying to be respectful."

The actor replied, "If you fail to do that again, that is an act of intentional bigotry and a technical hate crime of U.S. federal law."

Miller continued the rant, "Please call me 'they/them/theirs,' you can use the term 'Mx.' … if you prefer."

On March 29, a couple was granted a temporary restraining order against Miller for allegedly breaking into their bedroom – where he reportedly tried to steal a passport and wallet. The actor allegedly threatened the couple, "I will bury you and your slut wife."

On April 19, Miller was arrested for reportedly hitting a woman in the forehead with a chair.

Last month, two musicians claimed Miller stole music from them. Miller had been collaborating with musicians.

He allegedly threw an "aggressive temper tantrum" over the lyrics of one of the songs.

"Ezra’s behavior throughout this exchange was atrocious, belligerent, threatening, and incredibly aggressive," music producer Oliver Ignatius told Rolling Stone, adding that working with Miller was "like pulling teeth."

Ignatius accused the actor of publishing the music online without consent or credit.
