A young mother and her three children who were allegedly living with Ezra Miller at the actor’s Vermont farm are reportedly missing.
Vermont State Police are looking for the 25-year-old woman and her kids — aged five, four and one — believing that the Flash star may be concealing their whereabouts, rolling stone reported Wednesday.
According to court documents obtained by the publication, officers say they attempted at least twice over the weekend to serve the mom an emergency care order requested by the State Attorney’s office, which demanded the youngsters’ removal from both the property and her care, the new york post reports.
But Miller allegedly told cops the family hadn’t lived there in months, which the State Attorney’s office said seemed like an attempt to “evade service” of the order.
rolling stone reports that it was during one of the authorities’ visits to the 96-acre Stamford estate to locate the family that Miller was charged with felony burglary for allegedly breaking into a house and stealing several bottles of alcohol back in May.
A local source told the magazine that several officers were at the Perks of Being a Wallflower star’s home Tuesday night for nearly an hour, though the reason was not made clear. When contacted by rolling stonea police spokesperson referred the outlet to the Vermont Department for Children and Families, who declined to comment due to confidentiality concerns.
The outlet also notes that the mother was posting daily on social media from the property until mid-July when her account went dark and appeared to be deleted.
Reps for Miller did not immediately respond to Page Six‘s request for comment.
The order was reportedly drafted for fear of the children’s safety, as Miller’s property is allegedly littered with firearms, ammunition and marijuana.
Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, including the children’ father, made the accusations to rolling stone in an exposé published in June.
Two of the sources alleged that there were unattended guns strewn around the Fantastic Beasts star’s home, with video footage appearing to show weapons propped up next to stuffed animals.
One source added that the one-year-old once allegedly picked up a loose bullet and put it in her mouth.
Additionally, both sources alleged that there was frequent and heavy marijuana use in front of the children.
According to rolling stonethe woman moved herself and her children into Miller’s home in mid-April after having met in Hawaii the month prior.
She insisted to the publication in June that Miller provided “a safe environment for (her) three very young children.”
Having a “bad feeling in (his) stomach,” the dad contacted DCF services and local police in mid-May to conduct wellness checks on his kids.
A social worker allegedly visited Miller’s farm on May 16 and informed the father that his children “looked good” but felt they had “more work to do”, according to text messages reviewed by rolling stone.
This is the latest in a string of legal issues for the actor, who was arrested twice in Hawaii earlier this year — once for disorderly conduct, to which they pleaded no contest, and another time for allegedly throwing a chair at a woman. Miller — who goes by them/them pronouns — has also been accused of “grooming” a teenager and had a restraining order taken out against them by a woman and her 12-year-old child.

Heartwarming scenes at a US Little League playoff have shown the world there is actually hope for the future.
In the first inning of the Southwest Region Playoff final between Pearland, Texas and Tulsa, Oklahoma and a spot in the Little League World Series on the line, the video of a batter hugging a pitcher has gone viral.
And remember, these kids are between 10 to 12-years-old.

A pitch got away from Texas pitcher Kaiden Shelton, slamming into the side of Oklahoma batter Isaiah Jarvis’ head, knocking his helmet off and sending a scare around the stadium.
“That’s a tough kid right there,” the commentator said.
Jarvis needed a second after the painful blow but took his place on first base.
But after looking up and seeing Sheldon was getting teary eyed on the mound, Jarvis went to console him, hugging his opponent in lovely scenes.
“This is really cool because as a pitcher, (Shelton) looks shaken up right now because of what he did and look at Jarvis. This is such great sportsmanship,” a commentator for ESPN said. “He wants him to know that it’s OK, that he’ll be fine. Amazing.”
The moment drew a standing ovation and even tears from some in the crowd.
Pearland went on to defeat Tusla 9-4 and will go into the Little League World Series but the moment has had a life of its own, getting millions of views online.
Speaking to CNN, Jarvis said it was “crazy” the video had been taken off.
Jarvis said he did it because he wanted to spread the lesson that “you should care for other people.”
“As soon as I’ve seen him get emotional because he hit me, I wanted to go over there and spread God’s love and make sure he’s okay and make sure he knows that I’m okay and that I’ll be okay,” Jarvis said.
Shelton said he didn’t know Jarvis was coming to hug him and said: “It felt like he cared.
“I also cared about him and it just shows there’s a lot of sportsmanship in baseball.”
Jarvis’ head coach Sean Kouplen said he believed it was just what the world needed.
“I believe what we are seeing is that our world is tired of divisiveness,” he said. “We all saw is friendship and love and caring trump competition. I believe that just struck a chord with everybody.”
But the world was blown away by the moment when at the professional level, it likely would have ended in heated scenes and maybe even the dugouts emptying onto the field.
While the world can quite often be termed a dumpster fire, scenes like this show the kids will actually be alright.
The boss of Australia’s largest bank has warned that the economy is already declining and that a “short, sharp contraction” is on the way.
Late on Wednesday, the chief executive of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Matt Comyn, delivered the company’s annual results.
Although the CBA made an eye-watering $9.6 billion in profit over the last financial year, Mr Comyn warned that tougher times were on the horizon.
He told the Australian Financial Review that he predicted “a short, sharp contraction in the Australian economy.”
“We are definitely expecting a more challenging year ahead than we have seen in the last 12 months,” he added.
However, in some good news, the banking CEO believes a contraction is almost a certainty but a full-blown recession is less likely.
Australia is in the throes of an economic crisis as inflation rose to 6.1 per cent last month, the highest level it’s been for 20 years.
And for the first time in more than a decade, Australia’s central bank has had no choice but to increase the cash rate in a bid to stop rampant inflation.
For the last four consecutive months, the Reserve Bank of Australia has increased interest rates by 1.75 percentage points and Mr Comyn more rate increases will come.
Mr Comyn told the publication his bank predicts the cash rate to increase by another 75 basis points to sit at 2.6 per cent.
The cash rate is currently 1.85 per cent.
Once the cash rate hits 2.6 per cent, Mr Comyn said the economy would experience a contraction of 1.5 per cent.
He said he “hoped” that once the cash rate reached this point it would be enough to curb spending, adding “We need to see a slowdown in demand.”
Speaking to the ABC, Mr Comyn said “We do forecast recessions in the US, UK and Europe. We don’t believe that that’s the likely outcome in Australia.”
Already there are signs that Australians are splashing their cash less.
Mr Comyn said their customer data shows that spending is falling for both debit and credit cards.
This was significantly more for customers who had mortgages.
“It’s quite early post the immediate rate rises, [but] we are already seeing a downturn in spending across our customer base, both from a debt and credit perspective,” he said.
“Of course, that’s more pronounced with customers who have a home loan, and we expect that it will continue throughout the course of the calendar year.”
An entire store of Starbucks workers have walked out of their cafe mid-shift, in support of a colleague they claim was “unjustly” terminated.
In a TikTok video which has been viewed more than 18.6 million times, a team of nine workers can be seen leaving the store in Buffalo, New York.
The protest occurred after barista Sam Amato – who is also a union leader – was reportedly fired on the week of his 13th anniversary with the company.
After the employees leave, a woman who appears to be the store manager can be seen talking on the phone. The on-screen caption in the video reads: “* manager realizes she she’s messed up *”.
In a previous video Mr Amato claimed he was pulled aside by two store managers and was told he was being let go because he “modified operations and closed the lobby” without getting his “store manager’s permission”.
“It is a BS reason. It’s because I’m a union leader,” claimed Sam.
“They failed to provide any details or give me any information. They wrote things that were not true.
“After 13 years they refused to give me any details why I was fired.”
In the comments, the majority of TikTok users supported the worker’s efforts.
“Starbucks really is hell bent on ruining their reputation aren’t they,” read one comment.
“Good on you guys. Stand together. Keep this energy going,” read another.
“Starbucks, I’m a loyal customer but trust me when I tell you. That can change real quick friend!” shared another.
Under United States labor laws, workers in all 50 states bar Montana are subject to at-will employment. This means employees can be fired without prior warning and without the need for the employer to establish a cause. However, employers can still be challenged on the grounds of wrongful termination – like discrimination.
While some states have exceptions – for example, workers in the public sector, or those under union agreements – the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New York, and Rhode Island have no exceptions in regards as to why an employee may be terminated.
Since late 2021, Starbucks employees across the US’ 9000+ corporate-owned stores have attempted to unionize with Workers United. As of June 14, 143 stores have unionized, while 120 other outposts were petitioning for union elections, Guardian reports.
Workers United stated that the coffee giant has been systematically cutting employee hours in an effort to convince longtime employees to retire, before replacing them with workers who won’t unionise, the New York Times reports.
“Starbucks is also using policies that have not previously been enforced, and policies that would not have resulted in termination, as a pretext for firing union leaders,” the union said in a statement.
With around 33,833 stories in 80 countries, Starbucks is the world’s largest coffeehouse chain and is estimated to be worth A$140 billion.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s lookalike daughter Apple Martin stepped out with her famous mum in New York City.
The pair, dressed in co-ordinating hues, were inspecting Paltrow’s Goop store in the Manhattan neighborhood of Noho.
Martin, 18, was casual chic in a white halter neck dress and black sandals, slinging a canvas tote bag on her shoulder while she carried a bottle of water in one hand and her phone in the other.
Paltrow wore a cream ensemble of a loose-fitted shirt and midi-length wide-leg pleated pants, teamed with white sneakers.
Martin was photographed two weeks earlier on holidays in Ibiza, looking carefree.
The teenage progeny of Paltrow and former husband Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, she recently turned 18 years old.
To celebrate the momentous occasion, Paltrow paid tribute to her daughter. She wrote on Instagram, “18. I’m a bit of a loss for words this morning. I could not be more proud of the woman you are. You are everything I could have dreamed of and so much more.
“Proud doesn’t cover it, my heart swells with feelings I can’t put into words. You are deeply extraordinary in every way.
“Happy birthday, my darling girl. I hope you know how special you are, and how much light you have brought to all who are lucky enough to know you. Especially me.
“I say it all the time and I will never stop… in the words of Auntie Drew, I was born the day you were born. I love you. Mother.”
Ellen DeGeneres has reacted to ex-girlfriend Anne Heche’s health amid her reported 140km/h car collision last week in Los Angeles.
The horror crash saw the actress pulled from her vehicle after it burst into flames after crashing into a home. She is still currently in a coma in hospital, foxnews reports.
When asked if she had spoken to Heche since the incident last weekend, the former talk show host, 64, said: “No, have not. We’re not in touch with each other, so I wouldn’t know.”
When asked if she wanted to send the actress any well-wishes, DeGeneres simply stated, “Sure,” as she walked to her convertible. “I don’t want anyone to be hurt.”
DeGeneres also agreed it “sure was” a “dangerous accident” that happened nearly a week ago in LA.
Heche, 53, is currently in “extreme critical condition” at a medical center following the collision in Mar Vista, which also destroyed a house and displaced a woman and her dogs.
“She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention,” Heche’s rep said. “Ella She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.”
Back in 2000, just hours after her three-year relationship with DeGeneres ended, Heche suffered a public breakdown when she was found at a stranger’s home in Cantua Creek, Fresno County, after parking her car on a highway and wandering through the desert.
Authorities responded to the home of the concerned resident, and Heche was taken to hospital after officials on the scene determined there was a serious medical issue.
“She proceeded to tell me that she was God and was going to take everyone back to heaven with her in some sort of spaceship,” one Fresno deputy wrote in a report at the time.
One year later, Heche admitted to Larry King that she had taken a “hit of ecstasy” when she got out of her car, adding, “I was so far gone by that point, you know, by the time I took the pill, I was waiting for my spaceship.”
she told Page Six last year that the failed relationship not only black-listed her from Hollywood, it also “cancelled” her from the entertainment industry for a decade.
“I didn’t do a studio picture for 10 years,” she said of the fallout. “I was fired from a $10 million picture deal and did not see the light of day in a studio picture.”
Investigation ongoing into crash
Witnesses to Heche’s horror crash told TMZ they tried to help the actress out of her car before she hit a garage door, reversed her vehicle out of a car park and fled the scene. Minutes later, the star crashed her car into a house and ignited a fire that engulfed the home.
On Monday, a public information officer for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that authorities obtained a warrant for a sample of Heche’s blood on August 5.
The results of the blood test are pending, and the investigation is ongoing. Los Angeles Police Department officials confirmed that if Heche is found to have been intoxicated during the crash, she will be charged with a DUI hit-and-run.
Witness Lynne Bernstein called the crash “horrific” and said he could “hardly breathe” when trying to assist Heche out of the blue Mini Cooper she was driving.
“The smoke was just getting way too intense, we could hardly breathe,” Mr Bernstein said. “The smoke was making it difficult to see.”
Heche sustained burn injuries and was “conscious and breathing” when she was removed from the vehicle and placed on a stretcher, before abruptly sitting up as authorities rushed her to an ambulance in video footage from the scene of the incident.
The crash “scared the entire neighborhood,” Yaroslav Borets told Fox News Digital. “Something we will remember for a long time.”
The owner of the house Heche crashed into, Lynne Mishele, was home at the time and “very narrowly escaped physical harm” after the fire began. Ms Mishele’s neighbors created a GoFundMe campaign that raised $US45,000 ($A63,000) in one day.

Cameron Smith’s imminent defection is being viewed as the biggest “coup” to date for LIV in their quest for legitimacy.
Until now, The PGA Tour and its supporters could argue that the rebel league is merely a competition where washed up pros go to fill their bank accounts. No longer.
While tour veterans Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia were the initial names linked to the financially lucrative competition, the domino effect can’t be denied.
Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson – three of the biggest names on the US PGA – have taken the money and left.

Smith’s signing however is being seen as a game-changer.
At 28, he is only now coming into the peak of his powers, he is the most recent major winner and he overran Rory McIlroy, the biggest name in world golf since Tiger Woods, to claim the Open Championship.
Nonetheless, Smith’s pending defection, which the Australian remained coy about ahead of the FedEx Cup playoff opener, hasn’t been filled with overwhelming excitement and a popping of corks.
Indeed, there’s an overarching sense of disappointment, inevitability and sadness about Smith’s likely defection; financial security has won over legacy and moral compass.
McIlroy reveals tension with LIV golfers | 01:30
Writing for the UK Telegraph – the same publication that broke Smith’s defection on a deal worth more than $AU140 million – chiefs sports writer Oliver Brown emphasized that Smith’s defection “might” capture an audience that eventually garners a TV deal.
“His signing is arguably the Saudis’ most significant coup to date, and could represent a tipping point for the competition – a moment where a gilded freakshow turned into a sporting event which might demand the world’s attention,” Brown wrote.
At the heart of the appeal of LIV Golf, Brown hit the nail on his head when he revealed the ridiculous sums of money today’s stars were forgoing by resisting a move from the PGA Tour.
“Against this backdrop, you can see why the initial contact from Greg Norman, LIV’s ringmaster, became an offer Smith could not refuse,” he wrote.
“(Henrick) Stenson, a 46-year-old who has failed to reach the weekend in seven of his last nine majors, is the type of player he should be beating for breakfast. And yet the Swede, quickly forgetting his defenestration of him as Ryder Cup captain, earned more for a glorified three-day exhibition at Bedminster than Smith did for winning the 150th Open at the Home of Golf.
“From Smith’s perspective, this is an imbalance that urgently needs correcting. If he takes home the maximum loot of £3.93 million on his LIV debut in Boston next month, he would eclipse even the £2.98 million he earned at the Players Championship in May, in what was then the richest prize ever offered by a single golf tournament. Why should the leading man tolerate making less than some forgotten members of the chorus line?”
Cam Smith and others set to join LIV | 01:30
Brown continued by highlighting the ridiculous Saudi-funded money on offer but said the sheer financial sums couldn’t, at least at this point, match the theatre, drama and excitement on show at the PGA and DP World Tours.
“The numbers are so absurd, the golf itself has been rendered a sideshow. When Stenson holed the decisive putt at Bedminster, for the grandest payday of his career, the moment was greeted by the faintest rustle of polite applause. Even the winner himself did not look unduly bothered,” Brown wrote in The Telegraph.
“Here lies the sadness in Smith’s defection. With his talent in the fullest bloom, he deserves to be playing in front of the largest galleries, for the highest stakes. LIV ultimately offers him neither. It is a realm with all the money but none of the prestige. Smith, you sense, understands what true glory in golf means. As he gave his acceptance speech on the 18th green at St Andrews, the Claret Jug in his hand, the quaver in his voice suggested he was genuinely overwhelmed.
“For Smith to be swapping such moments for hollow, show-me-the-money exercises is a cause for lament. At one level, his departure from him in his prime from him demonstrates the scale of the Saudis’ ambitions. But at another, it is the grimmest possible reflection of the schism they have wrought.”

At the USATodayAndy Nesbitt, was far more scathing.
In particular, the publication took aim at Smith’s decision to deflect questions around his future and offer no definitive answer on whether he intended to shift allegiances.
“In doing so, (Smith) tarnished a reputation that just a few weeks ago was one of the best in professional golf,” Nesbitt wrote.
“Smith didn’t deny it and he didn’t confirm it, he just said he had “no comment” on that, which is a really lame way of ducking the question while also pretty much confirming the report to be true.”
Nesbitt went as far as saying his responses were “cowardly.”
“But to not come out with a definitive answer when asked about it before the start of the PGA Tour playoffs is a pretty cowardly thing to do.
“Now it’s a little harder to cheer for a guy who just a few weeks ago was the coolest golfer in the world.”
Terse Cam refuses to address LIV rumors | 00:43
Thomas Kershaw from The Timestoo, wrote that Smith’s pending defection was the competition’s “biggest coup”.
“It has been very easy up until now to dismiss the gimmicks of LIV’s format — featuring shotgun starts, 54 holes and no cuts — as a watered-down exhibition lacking the essentials of elite competition. Critics could point to the players who shrugged off missed putts knowing their money was guaranteed beforehand and the rebel series was derived as a refuge for those who had cashed in on the twilight of their careers,” Kershaw wrote.
“The signing of Smith is a significant riposte to that narrative. LIV may already have a horde of relatively recent major champions but Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka have battled injuries and indifferent form while Phil Mickelson still seems a ghost of his former self. Smith, 28, is the first to defect who is not just at the peak of the game but still entering the prime of his own.
He continued: “Smith remains LIV’s biggest coup to date and also symbolizes another aspect of their revolt that could bring considerable success. Smith had been vocal in urging the PGA Tour to bring a major golf event back to Australia but while those calls fell on deaf ears, LIV — and Norman — have been only too keen to hear them. When LIV expands into a 14-tournament league next year, it is reportedly scheduled to stop in Sydney in April, where Smith is expected to feature in an all-Australian team.”

Closer to home, James Erskine, the former manager of the late Shane Warne, who also managed Greg Norman in the past, told The Sydney Morning Herald the emergence of LIV was “destabilizing”, but didn’t accept the argument that players had blood on their hands given the competition is being backed by Saudi Arabia.
“It’s destabilizing the fabric of professional golf. I’m on the board of the PGA of Australia and we have to look after all professionals and professionals coming up. They all start as amateurs somewhere and are nurtured through the pathway so they could play golf, and then they get cards and qualify professionally,” he said. “So many people do business with Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, where they have very different rules and regulations and different respect for women.
“But you can name just about any company and they will probably have a link to Saudi Arabia, Rolex, Range Rover, Rolls Royce, Ferrari. Everyone’s doing business with them, so I think it’s very unfair to turn around and say because you’re a professional golfer, you shouldn’t deal with Saudi Arabia.”
Meanwhile, Erskine said Smith would be welcomed to play in Australia even if he joins LIV Golf.
A US couple have opened up about how their best friend – and bridesmaid at their wedding – became their girlfriend.
Tyler, 29, met 26-year-old Angel on a dating app in 2018 and quickly fell in love.
But after becoming engaged three years later, the pair from Memphis, Tennessee asked Angel’s college friend Sam to move in with them, forming a “throuple”.
The 23-year-old was right by their sides when Tyler and Angel tied the knot in May, performing the dual role as bridesmaid and girlfriend of the bride and groom.
Now the trio have detailed the struggles of being in a three person relationship – revealing how they navigate their sex life and the shock reaction from one disapproving family member.
At the beginning of their relationship, Angel said she experienced “jealousy” but explained they have worked through it now. “We were scared to open up to each other, it’s intimidating to add a whole other person into your life that you can depend upon,” she told truly.
“I was being selfish but have worked through my jealousy. Now they go on dates, we go on dates, and all three of us go on dates.”
Their sex life works similarly, with Angel, Tyler and Sam all sharing one bed, but rarely being intimate as a trio.
Instead, two of them take the bedroom while the other “watches TV, cooks or cleans”.
But while adjusting to life as a threesome ran pretty smoothly, their relationship hasn’t been accepted by everyone.
A week before Tyler and Angel’s wedding, Tyler’s cousin found out about his polyamorous relationship and refused to attend – despite the fact he was set to be a groomsman.
However, Sam and Angel’s family found out through the throuple’s TikTok channel, and were very accepting.
Their social media platforms have however made them the target of online abuse, with the throuple admitting “backlash is a daily thing”.
But the trio – who realized they shared a connection after enjoying a “one night thing” at a festival – say they are stronger than ever.
In a recent video, they revealed they have “finally found the courage to show PDA in public as a throuple”.
And Tyler says he has plans to propose to Sam down the track too.
Olivia Wilde believes ex-partner Jason Sudeikis was trying to aggressively embarrass and “threaten” her when she was publicly served legal papers during a panel in April.
Wilde claims that Sudeikis used “outrageous legal tactics,” according to new court documents obtained by the DailyMail.
“Jason’s actions were clearly intended to threaten me and catch me off guard,” Wilde, 38, alleged in the filing, Page Six reports. “He could have served me discreetly, but instead he chose to serve me in the most aggressive manner possible.”
Wilde further claimed that Sudeikis, 46, was intentionally trying to air their personal matters to the public in a way that isn’t fair to their two children: Otis, 8, and Daisy, 5.
“The fact that Jason would embarrass me professionally and put our personal conflict on public display in this manner is extremely contrary to our children’s best interests,” Wilde argued. “Since Jason has made it clear that we will not be able to work this out for our children’s sake outside of the court system, I filed a petition for custody in Los Angeles.”
the ted lasso star notably served Wilde legal documents concerning child custody while she was on stage in front of nearly 4000 people at CinemaCon.
Page Six reported at the time that Wilde was mortified and confused.
“Olivia was confused when she was handed the envelope, and she was even more confused when she opened it,” the source told us, adding, “It seemed unthinkable to her, and it took a moment to set in, but as mortifying as it was, she did not want to give a reaction.”
However, a source close to Sudeikis had insisted to Page Six exclusively that he “had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the envelope would have been delivered … and he would never condone [Wilde] being served in such an inappropriate manner.”
Sudeikis and Wilde had been co-parenting their kids since calling off their engagement and breaking up in 2020, but the actor decided to launch the custody battle when the pair couldn’t agree on a permanent city to raise their children.
In court documents, Wilde alleges that they agreed to send their children to school in Los Angeles for the upcoming year as Sudeikis was set to film the final season of ted lasso inLondon.
“Recently, however, Jason decided that he wanted to go to New York for the next year while he is not working, and wanted the children to be with him there during this time off,” the actress claimed. “When I did not agree, since the children have not lived in New York for several years, Jason filed these papers.”
Sudeikis fired back in a declaration to the court, saying that their Brooklyn home has always been the family’s permanent residence.
“For better or worse, I am a New Yorker,” Sudeikis said in the filing, adding that it was best for their kids to grow up in Brooklyn.
He added that he was reluctant to pursue legal action against Wilde but that he was worried she would take their kids away from him after she allegedly told him she would only let him see their children on weekends and holidays if he didn’t permanently live in LA and that she also allegedly had plans to relocate to London, where her boyfriend, Harry Styles, lives.
Sudeikis further asserted that the legal documents were supposed to be served to Wilde at an airport or at her hotel. But after several failed attempts, she was located at the event thanks to a tweet where the process server handed her the confidential envelope.
“I understand that the process server had only done her job; however, I deeply regret what happened. Olivia’s talk was an important event for Olivia, both professionally and personally, and I am very, very sorry that the incident marred her special moment, ”Sudeikis said.
Wilde has been dating Styles since January 2021. Meanwhile, Sudeikis has been romantically linked to model Keeley Hazell.
