Jonah Hill was pictured surfing in Malibu, California on Thursday, hitting the waves amid a challenging week in which he was accused of emotional abuse and sexual misconduct.

The 38-year-old Oscar-nominated actor was seen in his wetsuit hitting the waves amid a busy week after his ex Sarah Brady, 26, claimed he emotionally abused her.

The Moneyball star also faced misconduct allegations from actress Alexa Nikolas, who went public with claims Hill ‘shoved his tongue down her throat’ when she was 16 and he was 24. 

Hill was peppered with questions about recent events by a photographer, but only smiled and waved as he retreated into a beach bungalow.

Hill in 2019 spoke about his passion for surfing in a post on his since-deleted Instagram account. In the post, he said he had ‘been terrified to surf [his] whole life’ prior to conquering his fears.

Earlier this week Nikolas, now 31, had claimed that Hill – who is eight years her senior – shoved his tongue down her throat’ without her consent when she attended a party at Justin Long’s house. Hill has denied all allegations to DailyMail.com.

Brady took to her Instagram Story early Tuesday morning to share a screenshot of direct messages between her and Nikolas as she praised her for opening up about her alleged encounter with the Moneyball actor which she captioned: ‘survivors unite [fist emoji]’

Nikolas – who recently slammed a resurfaced Punk’d clip – had written to Brady: ‘I shared my personal Jonah story from when I was only 16 and he assaulted me.’

Brady replied, ‘Thank you for being brave and sharing. I’m sorry that he did that to you.’

The Zoey 101 actress  said that she remained quiet about the alleged incident for years until Brady’s revelation over the weekend. 

Nikolas wrote: ‘I was afraid to say anything about it until I ready about your admirable bravery today.’

Brady then chimed in about her ex Hill saying: ‘He’s a little scary, huh?’

The internet conversation ended with Nikolas saying: ‘Sending you so much love and healing You are bad a***.’

In the tweets from Nikolas published on July 8 and 9,  she also alleged Long’s then roommate, former CSI: Miami actor Jonathan Togo, 45, assaulted a minor friend of hers who was ’16 or 17′ at the party and that Long allegedly knew about it – which the Jeepers Creepers actor has denied in a statement to DailyMail.com.

Togo and Long would have been around 30 years old at the time of the alleged incidents. Nikolas – who is the founder of Eat Predators, an organization which aims to call out abusers and networks – claims adult men were ‘feeding alcohol’ to her and her minor friends.

Nikolas also accused Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, 49, of ‘utter predatory disrespect for professional boundaries.’ 

She tweeted: ‘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.

‘Oh ya this was the guy living (from my memory) with #justinlong his name is Jonathan Togo ew ew ew.

‘He was sleeping *aka assaulting a minor* a friend of mine that was also 16 or 17. Anyways. #JonahHill came over at some point and we were all pretty wasted because of course the predators were feeding us minors a bunch of alcohol.’

Describing the alleged incident between her and Hill – who she claimed knew she was 16 – she wrote: ‘#jonahhill seemed to have his eyes on me because at one point I wanted a cig and he said he had one in his car “right outside”. Didn’t seem like too much of an effort so I trusted him. I went outside and he grabbed the cigs from his front seat. 

‘Just to note #JonahHill said if I wanted the cig I had to come with him outside to get it. He didn’t wanna go “all alone”. They were all aware I was 16.

She continued: ‘#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. I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside.’

She then blasted Long over allegedly inviting teenagers to his house, writing: ‘Also #justinlong why the f**k did you have children at your house late night? Ew. 

‘Hey Justin Long I find it interesting you being in Barbarian as a predator. It must have been weird playing some of your friends. You knew your roommate was assaulting a minor under your own roof. You let it happen. Eek. I hope you regret it now.’

She also tweeted: ‘I was 16 and #JonahHill was 24? Not okay.   

‘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. F**k #familyguy too.’

Referencing MacFarlane, Nikolas, who voiced a character in a 2011 episode of Family Guy when she was 18 years old, wrote: ‘One day soon after more therapy we can all start talking about #sethmacfarlanes utter predatory disrespect for professional boundaries period.

‘I was 18. He was my boss and he is 19 years older than me. Oh ya and mysteriously offered the job. Never did voice work in my entire life. Creep.’

DailyMail.com has also contacted representatives for Seth Macfarlane and Jonathan Togo for comment. 

In tweets published on July 8 and 9, Nikolas also alleged Long’s then roommate, former CSI: Miami actor Jonathan Togo, 45, (seen left with Long in 2008) assaulted a minor friend of hers who was ’16 or 17′ at the party and that Long allegedly knew about it – which Long has denied

Nikolas named Togo as the alleged attacker and shared a photo of him

Claim: Nikolas claimed Hill grabbed her and forced a kiss on her in shock tweets

Nikolas also lambasted Long online – who has denied her allegations

Claim: Nikolas also accused Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane of ‘predatory disrespect’

A spokesman for Justin Long told DailyMail.com: ‘This is the first time Justin has been made aware of this situation that allegedly happened nearly two decades ago. While Justin is sympathetic to any and all victims of any abuse , the simple fact remains he has no knowledge of what may or may not have happened concerning Ms. Nikolas.’ 

This comes after Brady, 26 – who dated Hill in 2021 for one year – set the internet alight on Friday by taking to Instagram to share messages allegedly sent by him that appear to reveal their past arguments – including messages outlining his parameters for a ‘romantic partnership.’

In June, it was revealed that Hill had welcomed his first child with his current girlfriend Olivia Millar. Brady revealed why she waited until his new girlfriend gave birth before posting.

Brady took to her Instagram Story on Sunday to post a voice memo to explain the timing of her posts was out of respect toward the pregnancy of Jonah’s girlfriend Olivia Millar.

She could be heard saying: ‘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 surf instructor went on to say that she knows that ‘the timing can seem bad’ but she is hoping that Millar had seen the posts in order to ‘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.’

This came just a day after Brady blasted the  Superbad star by taking to Instagram to share messages allegedly sent by him that appear to reveal their past arguments.

Tense: Taking to Instagram late on Friday night, the surfer blasted the 39-year-old Superbad star by sharing screenshots of their past arguments

The rollout of damning statements against the movie producer began with an Instagram Stories post Brady shared with the caption, ‘F*** it.’

The screenshot showed two messages alleged to be from Jonah on December 2, 2021.

The lengthy initial text apparently from Jonah included a list of unacceptable behaviors from Sarah if they were to be together romantically.

The new dad allegedly mentioned things including ‘surfing with men,’ ‘inappropriate friendships with men,’ and ‘posting pictures of yourself in a bathing suit’ that were off limits for his then-girlfriend.

He additionally stated that if Sarah ‘needed’ to ‘model,’ ‘post sexual pictures,’ or maintain friendships with women who were part of her ‘wild recent past’ then he was ‘not the right partner’ for her.

In another post of his alleged messages, Brady claimed that Hill only wanted her to socialize with friends whom he had ‘personally approved.’ 

The entertainer, whose documentary Stutz came out on Netflix last year, added, ‘If these things bring you to a place of happiness I support it and there will be no hard feelings. These are my boundaries for romantic partnership.’

He then clarified, ‘My boundaries with you based on the ways these actions have hurt our trust.’

Sarah wrote online to her nearly 80,000 followers, ‘See the misuse of the term “boundaries”?’ 

Brady spun her posts as a ‘warning to all girls.’

‘If your partner is talking to you like this, make an exit plan,’ she captioned a screenshot that appeared to show Hill complaining about social media photos featuring her ‘a** in a thong.’ 

Implicit: Brady used the caption of new Instagram post to air out her ex. She claimed he had requested that she take down the full-clothed photo

Heed: Sarah called her decision to release the private messages a ‘warning to all girls’

Unleashing: Sarah posted a message thread with the caption ‘you make me sick’

‘Call me if you need an ear,’ she added.

After Brady appeared to have signaled that she had deleted some of the supposedly offending photos, the Wolf Of Wall Street star appeared to tell his then-girlfriend it was a ‘good start’ but that she didn’t ‘seem to get’ his point.

‘But it’s not my place to teach you. I’ve made my boundaries clear,’ he affirmed. ‘You refuse to let go of some of them and you’ve made that clear and I hope it makes you happy.’

Brady maintained that her ex-boyfriend’s critiques were made in an attempt to control her. 

She explained that she agreed with his requests in an attempt to keep him from experiencing ‘crippling anxiety.’

Insight: Sarah alleged that while dating Jonah, he had to ‘personally approve’ her friends

Former flames: The couple used to regularly coordinate their outfits

One wish: Sarah said she wants her ex to be held accountable

Getting personal: In part of her tirade against her ex, the athlete noted, ‘I hope my ex has a daughter, maybe she’ll turn him into a real feminist.’

‘It hurts so badly’: Brady seemed to be addressing Hill when she wrote ‘Gaslight much?’ over one screenshot. In the text, he appeared to complain that he was ‘so lovely’ to her, which he didn’t feel was being reciprocated

Interacting with her fans, Sarah admitted: ‘It’s been a year of healing & 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.’ 

She continued, ‘And I’m sure there’s still much more healing from this abuse ahead of me.’

The former duo first went public with their romance in August 2021 after their connection was sparked when Jonah approached her online. 

On Friday Sarah said she was ‘sharing this publicly now because keeping it to myself was causing more damage to my mental health than sharing it could ever do.’

She also explained she used to take the ‘blame’ for Hill’s actions when they would speak with their therapist. 

In part of her tirade against her ex, the athlete noted, ‘I hope my ex has a daughter, maybe she’ll turn him into a real feminist. 

‘Because the fact that he calls himself a feminist now is laughable. … If I could have one wish for him it would be that he is surrounded by feminist men who can hold him accountable to grow in the ways he has expressed he wants to.’

The law student went on to say, ‘I think fame can put people in an echo chamber of viewpoints, which can enable emotionally abusive behavior.’

Odd standards: One snippet of conversation appeared to show Hill complaining that his then-girlfriend’s ‘therapist thinks I suck,’ before he called himself ‘literally … the best boyfriend. On earth’

Ridiculous: In a screenshot of a conversation with another person, Brady claimed that a therapist had urged her to come up with a ‘safe word’ — ‘pineapple’ — for ‘when Jonah was yelling at me’

Shade: In other posts, she urged her followers to ‘Boycott Stutz,’ Hill’s documentary about his relationship with his therapist. One included a screenshot of text saying it ‘is never appropriate for a therapist to speak about themselves at length’

One snippet of conversation appeared to show Hill complaining that his then-girlfriend’s ‘therapist thinks I suck.’ 

Brady seemed to be addressing Hill when she wrote ‘Gaslight much?’ over one screenshot.

In the text, he appeared to complain that he was ‘so lovely’ to her, which he didn’t feel was being reciprocated. 

‘I literally am the best boyfriend. On earth,’ he added. She mocked the sentiment by sarcastically writing #1 Boyfriend over the screenshot and adding a photo of a smiling dog.

In other posts, she urged her followers to ‘Boycott Stutz,’ Hill’s documentary about his relationship with his therapist. One included a screenshot of text saying it ‘is never appropriate for a therapist to speak about themselves at length.’

She also clarified that just because a person is ’emotionally abusive,’ it ‘doesn’t mean they’re a terrible person.’

‘At the same time, it doesn’t mean it’s OK,’ she said.

In addition to screenshots of conversations allegedly between her and Hill, Brady also included screenshots that appeared to show her complaining about her ex with another person.

She also clarified that just because a person is ’emotionally abusive,’ it ‘doesn’t mean they’re a terrible person,’ adding, ‘At the same time, it doesn’t mean it’s OK’

On Friday Sarah said she was ‘sharing this publicly now because keeping it to myself was causing more damage to my mental health than sharing it could ever do.’

The other person said it must have made her ‘feel crazy having a licensed professional tell You to Not talk to other men to keep your boyfriend from acting like a f***ing baby.’ 

Brady claimed that the therapist suggested she come up with a ‘safe word for when Jonah was yelling at me,’ which was ‘pineapple.’ 

In June, it was revealed that Hill had welcomed his first child with his current girlfriend Olivia. 

Details about the child, including the birth date, were not revealed, but his rep confirmed she gave birth in the spring of 2023.

Heads up: Sarah shared screen shots of her messages with Jonah that showed the actor letting her know he’d started dating another woman


Furious: Sarah told Jonah ‘I’d appreciate if you’d make that woman aware of how recently you’ve been flirting with me, sexting me and leaning on me for partner level emotional support’. He replied by denying the timing of his new romance was ‘inappropriate’ 


A question of timing: Jonah said it had been ‘six months’ since the end of the relationship. Sarah then produced a screen shot of a sexting message from mid July 


‘I’ve done nothing wrong’: Jonah said he was ‘deeply’ let down by Sarah’s reaction and felt violated by the fact she’d taken a screenshot of his sext 

Hill – a self-described mental health advocate – then offered to pay for Brady’s therapy for the rest of 2022 ‘even though you’ll somehow punish me with that gesture.’

On Monday Brady posted more exchanges – which she claimed took place on August 30 and 31 last year – around the time he moved on with Millar  which he texted Brady about.

She responded:  ‘I’d appreciate if you make that woman aware of how recently you’ve been flirting with me, sexting me, and leaning on me for partner-level emotional support.’

She also shared a screengrab of him writing about ‘holding my hard [censored]’ in a text dated July 13, 2022, prompting the actor to confirm: ‘Yes we sexted two months ago.’

Hill blasted Sarah for the screenshot, branding it ‘triggering’ and accusing her of breaching his trust.
