Ezra Miller has faced their fair share of controversy over the past few years — and now their The Flash co-stars are speaking out.

In August of last year, Ezra finally spoke out about their actions, sharing that they were seeking treatment for "complex health issues" after having "gone through a time of intense crisis" and apologized for those they had "alarmed and upset."

The Flash is still set for release next month, and some of Ezra’s co-stars are being asked about their alleged behavior — including actor Michael Shannon.

While speaking to Vanity Fair, the outlet alluded to the controversy surrounding The Flash, to which Michael admitted it was tough to dicuss.

"If you’re talking about Ezra, I thought Ezra was lovely — very kind to me when I was there," Michael told the outlet.

He continued, "It’s difficult to talk about, but I always give people a lot of slack in this business, because there’s a lot of people in this business that have issues."

He noted that while "some people have more privacy than others" to deal with their issues, others have a spotlight on their mistakes.

"Anytime somebody is out in the spotlight getting picked on, I feel for them," Michael added. "Even if it's warranted, it's still a horrible situation."

Michael isn't Ezra's only co-star who has spoken out. Kiersey Clemons previously said it was tough to read the headlines about Ezra, adding, "what people forget is that a lot of people go through that, but they don’t do it with the whole world watching."

The Flash is set to hit theaters on June 16.
