Takota Iron Eyes Rejects Allegations that Ezra Miller Has Kidnapped Her

Share

Takota Iron Eyes, the 18-year-old allegedly living with Ezra Miller, rejected allegations by her father that the actor has kidnapped or brainwashed her.

Newsweek:

Chase Iron Eyes, says he is “concerned about Ezra’s state of mind” after filing court papers seeking a restraining order against the DC Comics actor. Iron Eyes, a Native American activist, has raised concerns over the welfare of his daughter who has reportedly been living and traveling with Miller for several months. Tokata’s mother Sara Jumping Eagle has publicly criticised the Flash actor on social media.

Tokata herself, however, has rejected the allegations as “grotesquely false.” In a video message recently published on Instagram, she said she was “disappointed in my parents and the press in every way.”

Chase has asked the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Court in North Dakota to grant a Protection Order for his daughter and a Restraining Order against Miller in an attempt to separate the pair.

A hearing on Chase’s request is due to be held on July 12 at the Tribal Court, Fort Yates, North Dakota, but court officials have not been unable to locate Miller to serve notice of the hearing to him. If Miller fails to appear at the hearing, the court has warned that it would grant Chase’s request for a restraining order.

“We’re just concerned about Ezra’s state of mind and whether he’ll lash out at Tokata for the actions that we’ve taken on Tokata’s behalf,” Chase told Newsweek when asked how he and Sara are.

“People online are saying that she’s an adult and she can make her own decisions, but the only reason the judge entered the protection order is because we reclaimed guardianship, as of May 17.”

The news of Chase’s filed allegations against Miller were made public earlier this week. The court filings have been seen by Newsweek.

Chase and Sara allege that Tokata has not had access to her phone for months. Tokata has recently cleared all earlier photos from her Instagram account and started posting pictures and videos in the past week. One of the posts is a four-page statement allegedly made by Tokata, accusing her father of “emotional and psychological manipulation.”

Chase suggested that the message may not have been written by Tokata. “We’re not even convinced that it’s Tokata,” he said. “I see her bio, her bio is changed from ‘public speaker, artist’ to now it’s just promoting his music.

The day after Chase said this, Tokata posted a two-minute video message on Instagram to reject the claims. “I’ve become aware that some people are saying that my statements were not written by me. I’d like to clarify that they are,” she said on camera. “Nobody is controlling my Instagram account. I don’t have a phone right now out of my own personal conviction.

“Honestly, it’s really distressing that the narrative of the victim in question is not being granted,” Tokata continued, “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. Thank you.”

Miller and Takota appear in a 2012 video alongside Chase Iron Eyes at The Black Hills in South Dakota.

Tokata fled her parent’s home, according to the legal documents, and reunited with Miller in New York City before traveling to Vermont, Hawaii and Los Angeles together. The filing alleges that Tokata was with Miller during his recent arrest in Hawaii.
