Jonah Hill's Ex Girlfriend Accuses Him Of Being "Emotionally Abusive" And Leaks Private Messages, But Is He Really The Villain?

Renowned actor Jonah Hill finds himself in the midst of controversy as his former girlfriend, Sarah Brady, publicly accuses him of being emotionally abusive throughout their relationship. In a candid series of Instagram Story posts over the weekend, Brady, a surf instructor, aired her grievances against Hill. Sharing screenshots of their alleged text message exchanges, she offered a stark warning to women who may find themselves in similar situations. Many people have come forward with calls to "cancel" Hill, calling him a misogynist.

Sarah Brady Accuses Jonah Hill of Being "Emotionally Abusive" and Leaks Private Messages

Brady posted multiple screenshots of private text messages between her and ex-boyfriend Hill, 39, in what is being called a "revenge leak." In a text message from December 2021, Hill wrote to Brady with a clear list of boundaries that he desires with a girlfriend. "Plain and simple," he wrote. If she feels like she needs to surf with men, have "boundarlyess inappropriate friendships with men," post "sexual pictures" or photos of herself in bikinis, and have friendships with women "who are in unstable places," then he is "not the right partner" for her.

"If these things bring you to a place of happiness I support it and there will be no hard feelings," he continued. "These are my boundaries for romantic partnership. My boundaries with you based on the ways these actions have hurt our trust."

Because of these text messages, Hill is being branded as a "misogynist" and "narcissist." Brady's posts chronicle how she complied with Hill's request, only for the Oscar-nominated actor to imply that she was missing his point. An alleged message from Hill stated, “But it’s not my place to teach you. I’ve made my boundaries clear.”

Brady and Hill dated for about a year in 2021 and they famously walked the red carpet wearing matching powder-blue suits, complete with matching brocade shoes.

The surf instructor didn't shy away from sharing her own mental health struggles, accusing Hill of weaponizing his mental health to exert control. Brady stated, "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."

Brady noted that Hill, who recently welcomed a baby with current partner Olivia Millar, considers himself a feminist, a label she finds "laughable" based on her experiences. Her wish for him is to be surrounded by feminist men who could hold him accountable and aid his growth in the ways he claims to aspire to. Brady acknowledges the potential pitfalls of fame, observing, “I think fame can put people in an echo chamber of viewpoints, which can enable emotionally abusive behavior."

In a concluding statement, Brady underscored that being an emotionally abusive partner does not equate to being a terrible person overall. Such behavior often springs from unresolved personal trauma, she said, though adding that this does not make it excusable.

Brady's follower count on Instagram has increased at least 10,000 in the last couple days after she began this tirade against Hill. Independent journalist @houseinhabit shared a much different perspective however, showing that this could be another situation in which a woman weaponizes her platform and feminism to obfuscate the truth in order to falsely make a man seem like an abuser. In a series of posts on her Instagram story, @houseinhabit shares that she saw a lot of what transpired during their relationship in 2021. Reportedly, Brady "repeatedly ridiculed him, posting insulting sexual details for her friends to see (and laugh about)." This had apparently gone on "for months." When they broke up, @houseinhabit said Hill "apologized several times for hurting her" and said something to the effect of "I don't recognize this person" because she showed so much vitriol after they split.

"The fact that it is all over the news in major headlines today means she likely reached out to certain outlets to amplify her side of the story," @houseinhabit wrote.

@houseinhabit also claims that Hill wanted to start a family but Brady wasn't ready to have children. "This was a contributing factor in the break," she wrote. She also shared a previous message from Hill that was allegedly sent to Brady: "All I want in life is to be a family person and start a family so that is and will be my immediate goal. I respect that yours is your career and respect it deeply. I hope we both get what we want."

While the media is quick to paint Hill in a misogynist light, many people are pointing out that Hill's text messages weren't even close to being abusive. In fact, his boundaries were perfectly reasonable. We live in such a promiscuous, sexually explosive society that we have become numb to the fact that there are many girlfriends and wives online who expose their bodies and their sexuality for everyone to see. Feminism demands that men must approve of this behavior, and if they protest it, they are controlling and sexist.

But any respectable man who values his partner's sexuality will want his girlfriend or wife to refrain from posting sexually charged images and videos online. And when you go through Brady's Instagram page, it's clear to see that she has a penchant for posting half-clad images of herself, bikini photos, etc. To boot, Hill's text message made it clear that if she's not interested in maintaining those boundaries for their relationship, "there will be no hard feelings." He stated his needs clearly and respectfully, and kindly told her that they might not be right for each other. There was nothing abusive, aggressive, or rude about it. Our culture is just so accustomed to seeing women expose themselves online that they can't imagine a man might want her to preserve those intimate moments for just him.

Others can't help but point out the timing of this "revenge leak." Hill just welcomed his first child into the world with girlfriend Olivia Millar last month. Brady broke up with Hill in 2021. Why would she wait until now to release all of these allegedly "abusive" messages?

It's clear that Brady was pulling a toxic stunt that was intended to hurt Hill and his growing family. @houseinhabit shared a screenshot of Playboy commenting on Brady's Instagram post and asking for an interview. Brady's platform is growing larger by the minute, and it seems like she's getting exactly what she wants from this situation: to make Hill look like a villain and make herself more famous.
