Surfer Sarah Brady accuses actor Jonah Hill of emotional abuse and manipulation in relationship

Surfer Sarah Brady, known for her past relationship with actor Jonah Hill, has come forward with allegations of emotional abuse and manipulation during their time together. Brady took to Instagram Stories on Friday to share a series of screenshots showcasing alleged conversations with Hill, where he requested her to remove certain photos he deemed "sexual" and demanded she end friendships with individuals in "unstable places."

Brady began her Instagram Stories with a screen recording of a text conversation she claimed was with Hill, captioning it as a warning to other women. The recording displayed texts purportedly sent by Hill, including screenshots of Brady's Instagram photos that he requested she delete. Many of the photos featured Brady, a surfer and instructor, in a bikini. Hill allegedly wrote, "I've made my boundaries clear. You refuse to let go of some of [the pictures] and you've made that clear."
Brady explained that she chose to share the screenshots publicly because keeping the situation to herself had negatively impacted her mental health. She credited a Teen Vogue article in one slide, in which a woman sought advice about her partner forbidding her from wearing a bikini to the beach. Brady wrote, "[Teen Vogue] did for me what couples therapy didn't."

Relationship Timeline and Hill's Silence

Hill and Brady were romantically linked in the summer of 2021 but ended their relationship sometime in the following year. They refuted engagement rumors in early 2022. Hill has not yet commented on Brady's allegations.

She criticized Hill's documentary titled "Stutz," which he made with his therapist, as "unethical" and called for a boycott. Brady expressed her own journey of healing and growth, emphasizing the importance of living without guilt, shame, or self-judgment.


Brady shared additional screenshots in which Hill allegedly listed things she needed to give up to be his partner, including posting photos in a bathing suit, maintaining friendships with men deemed inappropriate, and surfing with other men.
