Over the weekend Jonah Hill, 39, was accused by his ex-girlfriend, 26-year-old semi-pro surfer and model Sarah Brady, of “emotional abuse” during their relationship. To support the allegation, she posted screenshots to her Instagram account of message exchanges between — she claims — her and Hill.
Putting aside my glee at getting a glimpse inside a celebrity uncoupling, they don’t make for pleasant reading. Hill found her Instagram pictures “triggering”, he said. If she wanted to continue her relationship with him, she must not “post pictures of [herself] with a bathing suit”, “surf with men” or — most bogglingly — “have friendships with women who are in unstable places”. These, he asserted, were his “boundaries” — and therefore, presumably, sacrosanct.
