In June, Rolling Stone published an investigation it had done on Miller, exposing several of the actor's alleged crimes and legal issues. The expose piece was titled "Guns, Bullets, and Weed: Ezra Miller Housing Three Young Children and Their Mother at Vermont Farm."

The investigation revealed that Miller was housing a mother and her three kids in their home ranch in Stamford, Vermont. Asides from housing the young family, Miller also used the property as an unlicensed cannabis farm and kept several firearms strewn about.

One of Rolling Stone's sources alleged that one of the kids, a one-year-old, was once found with a loose bullet in their mouth. However, the mother disappeared with her kids after police tried to serve her an emergency protection order to take the kids to a safer home. Miller maintains that they do not know where she went.
