Sarah Brady Speaks Out After Jonah Hill Text Message Furor

Jonah Hill's former girlfriend, Sarah Brady, has spoken out against people "spewing hate" about her, after she shared a slew of Instagram Story posts showing alleged text messages she received from her actor ex during their relationship.

Starting from July 7, surf instructor and model Brady, 26, shared multiple screenshots of alleged text message exchanges she had with the 39-year-old Superbad star. Brady said that Hill was "emotionally abusive" and criticized her for "surfing in a swimsuit rather than a more conservative wetsuit." The pair went public with their relationship in August 2021 and split in 2022.

"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," Brady captioned one post. She shared text messages that allegedly showed Hill requesting that she remove surfing photos from her Instagram account that showed her "a** in a thong."

You People star Hill has yet to publicly address the allegations. Newsweek has contacted a representative of Hill via email for comment.

Amid her continued comments about her ill-fated relationship with Hill, Brady returned to Instagram early Wednesday to speak out against her online critics.

"To the people spewing hate about me, I request that you unfollow me and keep your judgmental & disapproving words to yourself—I wish my ex had," she shared in a text image. "You are repeating the same cycle. Please please just walk away."

Captioning the post, she wrote "Thank you for respecting my boundaries," alongside a pair of red question mark and laughing emojis.

The caption appeared to allude to text messages in which Hill allegedly wrote repeatedly about his wishes for his "boundaries" to be respected, regarding his purported objections to Brady sharing photos of herself in swimsuits on social media.

Amid her slew of posts in recent days, Brady said that she and Hill continued to communicate as friends for months after their split. She added that their final message exchange took place on August 31, 2022, after Hill told her that he had embarked on a new romantic relationship. Brady's earliest timestamped posts were dated October 12, 2021.

"It may seem as if I am sharing a lot, but you all have no idea how much more there is which I am choosing not to share out of consideration for him and his family," Brady wrote on Instagram on Monday.

In one post dated December 2, 2021, Hill is alleged to have written to Brady: "If you need: surfing with men, boundaryless inappropriate friendships with men, to model, to post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit, to post sexual pictures, friendships with women who are in unstable places and from your wild recent past beyond getting a lunch or coffee or something respectful, I am not the right partner for you.

"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. My boundaries with you based on the ways these actions have hurt our trust."

Hawaii-based Brady said that she timed the release of her allegations with Olivia Millar, Hill's current partner, and the couple's weeks-old baby in mind. "I waited until she had her baby," Brady wrote on Instagram of Millar. "So I knew they were like physically not impacted by me sharing this s***, and she could be informed and make an informed decision of how she wants to care for herself and her baby."

In another post, Brady wrote that being an "emotionally abusive partner doesn't mean they're a terrible person." She said that such behavior often stems from someone's own trauma. "At the same time, it doesn't mean it's OK," she added.
