I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.” This apology comes a little over a week after the actor was charged with felony burglary . Previously, they have been accused of housing a mother and her young children in unsafe conditions , harassing a friend, choking a fan, leading a cult, and grooming a teenage activist. Miller has also been arrested twice in Hawaii , including once for second degree assault.
