Content warning: This article deals with claims of sexual assault and emotional abuse.
Jonah Hill is in the spotlight again. Just days after his ex-partner Sarah Brady accused Hill of being emotionally abusive during their relationship, Nickelodeon alum Alexa Nikolas has claimed that the actor kissed her without her consent when she was 16 years old.
According to the former “Zoey 101” star, the incident occurred at a Hollywood party hosted by Justin Long. She alleged that Hill approached her and offered her a cigarette. After going outside to smoke together, Nikolas claimed that Hill assaulted her instead.
“#JonahHill didn’t hand me the cig which I thought was weird and then as we walked back to the door I asked him for it and he said nothing but slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat,” the actress alleged.
“I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside.”

However, the “21 Jump Street” actor has denied allegations, Page Six via his attorneys that Nikolas’ story is “a complete fabrication.”
Jonah Hill Emotional Abuse Allegations
On July 7, Sarah Brady accused Jonah Hill of being emotionally abusive during their yearlong relationship in a series of Instagram Stories. The surf instructor shared screenshots of alleged text messages and DMs between herself and Hill, in which the actor allegedly instructed her on what to wear, what to post on social media, and dictated who she should be friends with. (POPSUGAR has screenshots of Brady’s Stories.)
POPSUGAR reached out to Hill’s representatives for comment on Brady’s allegations, but did not receive an immediate response. Hill has not publicly addressed Brady’s allegations.
Brady began by sharing a screenshot of a message she claims was from Hill. Where he reportedly asked her to take down any photos of herself surfing “with her ass in a thong.” After she removed the photos, she alleged Hill messaged her that was a “good start,” but she wasn’t fully “getting his point.” He allegedly wrote, “But it’s not my place to teach you. I’ve made my boundaries clear. You refuse to let go of some of them and you’ve made that clear and I hope it makes you happy.”
Brady captioned the post containing those screenshots, “This is a warning to all girls. If your partner is talking to you like this, make an exit plan. Call me if you need an ear.”
Hill allegedly said if Brady wanted to “surf with men,” “post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit,” or “model” then she wasn’t the right person for him. She acknowledged Hill’s anxiety issues but added that she feels those struggles shouldn’t be used as an excuse.
“I too struggle with mental health but I do not use it to control [people] like he did to me,” she wrote. “It’s been a year of healing and growth with the help of loved ones and doctors to get back to living my life without guilt, shame and self-judgment for things as small as surfing in a swimsuit rather than a more conservative wetsuit. And I’m sure there’s still much more healing from this abuse ahead of me.”
Jonah Hill and Sarah Brady Relationship Timeline
Brady first revealed she and Hill were dating in August 2021. Neither of them have confirmed when they split, but in August 2022, Hill was linked to Olivia Millar. In June, it was confirmed that Hill and Miller welcomed their first child.
“I hope my ex has a daughter,” Brady wrote in another message shared on her Instagram Stories. “Maybe she’ll turn him into a real feminist, because the fact that he calls himself a feminist now is laughable.”
Brady concluded her posts by saying she believes a person being emotionally abusive doesn’t mean they’re bad. “Someone being an emotionally abusive partner doesn’t mean they’re a terrible person (often stems from their own trauma) and at the same time it doesn’t mean it’s ok.”
