On January 27, The Flash (2022) star Ezra Miller issued a severe warning to the Ku Klux Klan. In their Instagram video, Miller addressed the Beulaville chapter of the North Carolina KKK group and suggested that they kill themselves with their own guns.

In the video, which has garnered over 38,000 views within six hours, Miller said:

"Hi um this is Ezra Miller, the Mad Goose Wizard. This is a message for the Beulaville chapter of the North Carolina KKK."

"Hello, first of all, how are y'all doing? It's me. Look, if y'all wanna die, I suggest just killing yourselves with your own guns, OK? Otherwise, keep doing exactly what you're doing right now -- and you know what I'm talking about -- and then, you know, we'll do it for you if that's really what you want. Okay, talk to you soon okay?! Bye!"

Miller also clarified that the video is not a joke in the caption on Instagram. They further urged everyone to take the video and the message seriously. It is unclear what prompted such a response from the 29-year-old actor.
