Alexa Nikolas: Jonah Hill ‘shoved his tongue down my throat’ when I was 16

Alexa Nikolas is 31 years old, but she’s been acting since she was a kid. She’s best known for her role in Zoey 101. During her teen years, she would get invited to Hollywood parties and she was often hanging out with men in their 20s and 30s. Following Sarah Brady’s Instagram receipts of Jonah Hill’s emotional abuse during their relationship (2021-2022), Alexa decided to share her Jonah Hill story:

Jonah Hill has been accused of “predatory behavior” by Alexa Nikolas, the former child star of Zoey 101 fame, in a thread posted to Twitter over the weekend, recounting an alleged incident from the time she was 16. Nikolas’ comments were prompted by a series of recent Instagram posts by Hill’s one-time girlfriend Sarah Brady, in which she accused the actor of being an “emotionally abusive”, “misogynist narcissist.”

Wrote Nikolas in her first tweet on July 8th, “After reading Sarah Brady’s admirable post about #JonahHill I just gotta say when I was 16 I got invited to a house party at #justinlongs house.”

Nikolas claimed that at the party, Hill, “slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat. I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside.”

In response to an inquiry by Deadline, Marty Singer, a litigation attorney for Hill, called Nikolas’ accusations “a complete fabrication” adding that “it never happened.”

Singer went on to call Nikolas a “demonstrably unreliable” source and “a serial accuser who has made assorted accusations against multiple men in the entertainment industry.”

Said the actress later in her Twitter thread, “I’ve been traumatized by men in hollywood. It’s truly sad the traumatic events I have lodged in my body and mind. Things have to change.”

It’s true that Alexa also name-checked other Hollywood men as abusive or abuser-adjacent, like Justin Long. Alexa said that Long often hosted parties for teenage girls at the house he shared with Jonathan Togo, and Alexa alleges that Togo was sleeping with a 16/17 girl at the time. She also name-checks Seth Macfarlane too. You can see her the start of her thread below. I believe her, and I think it’s interesting that Jonah’s lawyer is Marty Singer, one of the biggest names in “celebrity lawyers.” Marty Singer is getting involved in Alexa Nikolas’s tweets… but not Sarah Brady’s receipts.

????After reading Sarah Brady’s admirable post about #JonahHill I just gotta say when I was 16 I got invited to a house party at #justinlongs house where he was living with some lame predator actor from CSI Miami. I’ll look up the name later and find him.

Jonah Hill Sarah Brady

Sarah Brady waited to drop her receipts until after Jonah Hill’s girlfriend gave birth

Sarah Brady and Jonah Hill dated for something like one year. They broke up last summer, after months of couples counseling in which their therapist would take Jonah’s side and advise Sarah to avoid speaking to men and not hang out with her girlfriends. Sarah has the screenshot evidence of just how controlling and emotionally abusive Jonah was to her, and she rolled out her evidence and her story over the weekend. Jonah hasn’t really responded – no apologies, no social media posts directed at Sarah, no statements from his rep. Instead, Jonah is posting about his “complete unrelenting control” merchandise. Creepy. Soon after Jonah and Sarah ended, Jonah became involved with a woman named Olivia Millar. Millar just welcomed a child with Jonah in late May. The timing is important because Sarah apparently did not want to do this evidentiary dump during Olivia’s pregnancy.

Sarah Brady purposely waited to accuse ex-boyfriend Jonah Hill of “emotional abuse” until after he welcomed his first baby.

Brady told her Instagram followers on Sunday that she “waited until” Hill’s partner Olivia Millar gave birth before she released screenshots of aggressive texts from the actor.

“I didn’t want [Millar] to have to see all of this while she was pregnant because I didn’t know what kind of stress that would cause her and her baby physically,” the 26-year-old surfer explained in a voice memo posted to her Instagram Story over the weekend.

Brady also admitted that while “the timing can seem bad,” she hoped Millar saw the posts so she can “make an informed decision of how she wants to care for herself and her baby.”

“I just hope she would receive some of these screenshots somehow through friends, like, friends of mine that I met through him that I know are good people that I know would make an effort to protect her,” Brady said.

On Saturday, the athlete — who said she was “not trying to slander somebody’s reputation” — posted screenshots of Hill’s critical messages, in which he demanded she refrain from “surfing with men,” posting “sexual pictures” and having “friendships with women who are in unstable places.”

While we knew that Jonah had moved on with Olivia last fall (they were pap’d together), we only found out about her pregnancy in March of this year, less than three months before she gave birth. I’m starting to side-eye the timing of the pregnancy too – I’m not suggesting that Jonah overlapped relationships, but it would not surprise me at all if Jonah baby-trapped Olivia very early in their relationship as a way to control her. That is exactly what emotionally abusive men do, because now it will be even harder for Olivia to leave. “You can’t leave, we don’t want to raise our child in a broken home, right” And don’t forget “if you leave, you’ll never see this baby again, I’ll bury you in court, I’ll bankrupt you in lawyer’s fees.” Sending prayers to Sarah and Olivia both. I hope Sarah is right and Olivia has friends she can turn to for help when the time comes.

Jonah Hill is selling ‘complete unrelenting control’ merchandise on his website

This weekend, Twitter felt like it used to feel before Elon Musty took over and made it even more of a Nazi hellsite. By that I mean, the Jonah Hill story blew up and women, across the board, used the story to educate and have a larger conversation about emotionally abusive men. It was sad to see the universality of experiences – even if one woman hasn’t been with a man who tries to control her, isolate her and put out her spark, that woman has seen it happen to her girlfriends. Sarah Brady outed Jonah’s emotional abuse by posting his old texts, and the story was picked up by mainstream outlets too, like the Washington Post and Newsweek.

Unfortunately and predictably, there are too many men who are talking over women to mansplain how their abusive, controlling behavior is just normal relationship sh-t. The number of men casually outing themselves as A-OK with emotionally abusing and controlling women is pretty appalling. It was made worse by the fact that Jonah Hill apparently doesn’t see a problem with his ex-girlfriend showing the world just how he tried to control her, isolate her and abuse her.

Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend, Sarah Brady, shared a viral TikTok therapist’s message about the “misuse of the concept” of boundaries following her allegations that the actor was “emotionally abusive” throughout their relationship.

Brady, a professional surfer and model, unleashed a series of Instagram stories against the “Wolf of Wall Street” star, saying Hill was controlling, and would “manipulate” and “gaslight” her when they were dating from August 2021 til 2022.

In a unique coincidence, the “You People” actor is selling his brand of control on his own “Meaningful Existence” website, with “complete unrelenting control” merchandise.

[From Fox News]

You know what? I am making the choice not to unpack any of Jonah’s bullsh-t. I’m protecting my peace, in the same way I’m not even going to try to figure out the unethical bullsh-t of Jonah making a documentary about his f–king therapist. As many have pointed out – including Sarah Brady – Jonah went to therapy and all he did was learn how to weaponize therapy-speak and psychology to abuse people.

crazy how this jonah hill situation has so many men trying to insist that threatening to leave someone if they don’t comply with your demands is “having boundaries” when it’s literally just the most basic textbook level of abuse. all of you just telling on yourselves publicly lol

— faye (@fayemikah) July 9, 2023

I think it’s telling how many women are saying the Jonah Hill discourse is triggering memories for them & how many men refuse to see a commonality there & instead are supporting him. If all the women around you are telling you the same thing, maybe you should shut up & listen?

— The Sassiest Semite (@LittleMissLizz) July 9, 2023

Let me clear something up for the men of Twitter:

Jonah Hill wasn’t *actually* offering to leave the relationship. If Sarah Brady had agreed it was best to part ways, he would have changed tactics to try to get the outcome he wanted.

That’s how ultimatums in abuse work.

Jonah Hill’s ex Sarah Brady reveals Jonah’s controlling emotional abuse

Jonah Hill was with Sarah Brady for several years, although no one really knows when they ended things. They were together as of February 2022, but then in August 2022, Jonah moved on with Olivia Millar. That was when Jonah and Olivia started getting pap’d together. Then in March of this year, we learned that Olivia and Jonah were expecting, and they welcomed their first child together in late May. This is just backstory: Sarah Brady is not the girlfriend who had a baby with Jonah, and Jonah and Sarah probably broke up more than a year ago. Well, now Brady is revealing what it was really like to date Jonah. Turns out, he’s a controlling emotional-abuser who misuses therapy-speak to dictate that his girlfriend shouldn’t be friends with men or pose in swimsuits (she’s a surfer) or model. Sarah Brady went on her IG Stories and posted tons of screenshots of some of the sh-t Jonah texted her during their relationship:

I know there are some younger women who read this site, and let me tell you something: run fast and far away from any man who sends you this kind of list of what they deem “unacceptable behavior.” Run away from men who claim that THEIR boundaries are about YOUR body. Beyond the fact of the emotional abuse and Jonah’s need to control and isolate Brady, the list simply reeks of his insecurity. He’s not man enough to be with a woman who has male friends. He’s not man enough to be with a surfer who models swimsuits. He’s not man enough to date a woman who has wild and fun female friends. Probably because those female friends will tell her: no, honey, this guy is a f–king douche. Jonah Hill is such a disappointment. Absolutely pathetic.

As I look through the other screenshots, from the very start of their relationship, he was controlling and trying to dictate what she posted on her IG, and how she dressed and he really didn’t want anyone to see her (a surfer) in swimwear. They also went to couples therapy together for at least four months and the therapist said some really crazy sh-t to Brady, like how she should just give in to Jonah’s demands that she never talk to other men, and that they needed a safe word for when Jonah was yelling at Sarah.

Jonah Hill Lauren London

The kiss between Jonah Hill and Lauren London in ‘You People’ was CGI




We put this in the links yesterday, but it’s such a weird little story that I wanted to write about it. You People is a Netflix movie starring Jonah Hill and Lauren London. It’s basically a current version of Guess Who and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner that adds an interfaith aspect along with the interracial one. I enjoyed the movie; I typically like Kenya Barris’s projects. There was a lot of online chatter about whether Jonah Hill and Lauren London made a believable couple, especially physically. And hilarously, it turns out they didn’t even kiss for the movie. That important kiss was CGI.

You People ends with a romantic moment between leads Jonah Hill and Lauren London, but one member of the Netflix movie’s team claims it was never actually filmed.

During a conversation on the latest episode of podcast The Brilliant Idiots, co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz discussed director Kenya Barris’ film, which centers on an interracial and interfaith couple, Ezra Cohen (Hill) and Amira Mohammed (London), dealing with their families’ complicated reactions to the relationship. Schulz plays Ezra’s cousin Avi in You People, which was released last month and also stars Eddie Murphy, Nia Long, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny.

After podcast guest Nyla Symone mentioned agreeing with recent social media commentary suggesting that Hill and London don’t make a believable couple, Schulz stated that the stars never actually filmed Ezra and Amira’s wedding-altar kiss, which takes place about a minute before the end credits start rolling. According to Schulz, their nuptials lip-lock, which is seen in a medium shot but is partially obscured by falling flower petals, was achieved in postproduction by CGI wizardry.

“There’s a hilarious thing — I don’t even know if I should share this shit — but the final scene, they don’t even kiss,” Schulz said. “It’s CGI. Swear to God.”

After Charlamagne Tha God expressed his incredulity, Schulz continued, “I’m there — I’m watching the wedding — and I see them go in for the kiss, and their faces stop like this far. And I’m like, ‘I wonder how they’re gonna play that in the movie. Oh, they’re probably just gonna cut right there.’ But the movie, you could see their faces come close, and then you could see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss.”

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Netflix for comment.

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

So the fact that they didn’t kiss was confirmed when one of Jonah’s character’s nameless dirtbag friends appeared on Charlamagne Tha Gross — sorry, Tha God’s show. Apparently, the couple gets close enough to kiss and CGI takes over. I’ll admit — I didn’t notice! But I also don’t think they kissed at another point in the movie, it cuts away. So why didn’t they kiss?! Did Kenya not want them to kiss? Did the actors not want to kiss? Lauren London even said to Harper’s Bazaar that she knew they didn’t make a believable couple. I actually thought they did, simply because I see so many beautiful women with some schlubby, furry-looking dudes. (Not that I think Jonah Hill is terrible, but this is very much a King of Queens scenario.) But Lauren also says they got along well so it’s not like they hated each other and couldn’t deign to kiss. So what was it?! Someone tweeted that she kissed Michael B. Jordan in a recent movie so it’s not like Lauren doesn’t kiss on-screen, to which I say, who among us wouldn’t kiss MBJ if given the opportunity? Hm. Maybe someone had a toothache or a cold. Maybe we’ll never know. This does kind of remind me of how Jet Li and Aaliyah just hugged at the end of Romeo Must Die because the interracial kiss didn’t test well at screenings, but that was like 22 years ago.

Mind you she played MBJ’s wife in the 2021 movie“without remorse” in which they kissed onscreen so I’m confused as to why she didn’t kiss Jonah here though? https://t.co/Q5Y7ltT3wv

Jonah Hill Mental Health

Jonah Hill’s trailer for his therapy doc: my life has gotten immeasurably better

Jonah Hill’s documentary, Stutz, just released its trailer. Stutz is the name of Jonah’s therapist, Phil Stutz, who is apparently both his therapist and longtime friend. The first thing Jonah says in the trailer is that he gets how unusual it is to film his own therapy and therapist. And I the brief bit we get to know Stutz in the trailer, he also seems unsure about it. But he also acknowledges that this is Jonah’s journey and if this is what Jonah feels he needs to do, then Stutz backs him on it. Jonah said the reason he was moved to make this documentary is because his life got “immeasurably better” working with Stutz. He’s hoping that maybe if people see how it helped him, they can see how it may help them.

Jonah Hill is facing his mental health struggles head-on in his upcoming documentary, Stutz.

The trailer for the film, which was directed by Hill, was released Monday and gives an inside look at the 38-year-old actor’s unorthodox therapy session with his longtime friend and therapist Phil Stutz in an effort to shed light on the tools that can help those struggling with mental health.

“I’m just gonna acknowledge how odd this endeavor is — a patient making a movie about his therapist,” Hill says. “But my life has gotten immeasurably better as a result of working with you. If it worked for me, maybe it will work for other people.”

The Wolf of Wall Street star, who has been open about his recent struggles with anxiety, explains that he’s allowing himself to be vulnerable in hopes of getting others to do the same and work on their own problems.

“You can’t move forward without being vulnerable,” Stutz tells Hill in the trailer. “Vulnerability, connection to the rest of the world. You’re giving out the signal to the world, ‘I need you because I can’t do this by myself.’ “

[From People]

I posted the trailer below. I was intrigued by this project when I first read about it. Watching the trailer, I’m on the fence. Stutz looks like quite the character and that may be enough for me to watch. It’s brave for Jonah to do this. I can’t think of many people who would be comfortable showing their most vulnerable side on camera, even if they had editing rights. And I do think showing people how approachable therapy can be and the effect it can have might encourage some to finally try it. But I hope the film emphasizes that individual therapy is personalized, and advice given on screen to a patient is not universally applicable. Conversely, not all therapists are a fit for every patient.

However, the point remains that Jonah’s overall health has improved so much he felt he needed to share how with the world. That’s a pretty powerful message and I do hope people are listening. And Stutz can’t really receive a nicer compliment than “you are so good at what you do that I want to make a documentary about it.”

Stutz comes out November 14. Remember that Jonah is not promoting his films and has taken down his social media so the photos here will start to look familiar. Here’s the trailer:

Fashion Florence Pugh Jennifer Lawrence Jonah Hill Leonardo DiCaprio Meryl Streep photos Premieres

Jennifer Lawrence wore custom Dior to the ‘Don’t Look Up’ premiere

Last night was the New York premiere for Don’t Look Up, the star-studded ensemble film directed by Adam McKay. It premieres on Netflix this coming weekend and I’m looking forward to seeing it. It looks like an enjoyable comedy and you can’t argue with the cast. Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio are the “leads,” they play scientists who discover the comet which is about to hit earth and kill everybody, leading to huge shenanigans. Leo honestly looked a bit nervous to be photographed with a heavily pregnant woman. There was panic in his eyes. Leo, it’s not yours!!

J-Law wore Dior, a customized gown to accommodate her pregnancy. It’s been a while since we’ve seen her in a Dior gown and this is one of the better ones. That sheer fabric isn’t a cape, those are just fabric panels which are supposed to look sort of like “sleeves.” The dress is very glittery and well-made and Jennifer looked elegant. I’m sure her feet hurt! This was her first premiere in two years. Her jewelry is Tiffany & Co.

There weren’t many solo pics of Meryl Streep, but her dress is Marc Jacobs. Jonah Hill is blonde and shirtless (but not jacket-less) and he attended the premiere with his girlfriend Sarah Brady. Florence Pugh isn’t in the film, but I guess she wanted to see it because she turned up at the premiere too. She wore an insane Dolce & Gabbana ensemble which was totally wrong for New York in December. Bonus: Kid Cudi wearing teddy bears on his feet.
