The “Superbad” actor was recently accused of sending “emotionally abusive” text messages to his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady, who had been posting messages about the year-old on social media throughout the week.

Hockley shared her take, saying, “This is gaslighting, it’s manipulation, coercion, it’s control.”
Though the couple slammed the Hollywood A-star, they also explained that his behavior stemmed “from his own insecurities” about self-esteem and body image, which Hill has been open about in the past.
“It’s so easy to portray people as one-dimensional and portray him as this evil person, but I think it’s interesting to explore where this type of behavior comes from,” Byrne said.
“Jonah Hill has been in the media for a very long time and there’s always been discussion about his weight, there’s always been discussion about the way he looks,” she continued.
“And he’s been very public about the insecurities that he has as a person,” Byrne said, adding that Hill suffers from “self-loathing.”
Hockley agreed, saying, “The way he’s been treated by the media over the years is horrific.”
She added, “Nobody deserves the level of body shaming they’ve experienced and he’s spoken openly about it.”
“It’s not boundaries, it’s a set of rules that he gave her,” Byrne said, calling Hill’s behavior “manipulative.”

The surf instructor went on to say she knows “the timing can seem bad” but hopes Millar has seen the posts to “make an informed decision about how she wants to care for herself and her baby.”
“I just hope that somehow she gets some of these screenshots through friends, like friends of mine who I’ve met through him and who I know are good people, who I know would try to protect her.”
This comes just a day after Brady blasted the Superbad star by sharing messages he allegedly sent on Instagram, which appeared to expose her previous arguments.

The spread of scathing statements against the film’s producer began with an Instagram Stories post Brady shared with the caption, “F*** it.”
The screenshot showed two messages said to have come from Jonah on December 2, 2021.
The lengthy first text, which appears to have come from Jonah, contained a list of unacceptable behaviors for Sarah if they were romantically involved.
The new dad reportedly mentioned things like “surfing with guys,” “inappropriate friendships with guys,” and “posting pictures of himself in a bathing suit” that were off-limits to his then-girlfriend.

In another post of his alleged messages, Brady claimed Hill just wanted her to hook up with friends that he “personally agreed to.”

Sarah wrote to her nearly 80,000 followers online: “See the abuse of the term ‘boundaries’?”
Brady called her posts a “warning to all girls.”
“If your partner talks to you like that, make an exit plan,” she captioned a screenshot that apparently showed Hill complaining about social media photos showing her “ass in a thong.” .

The couple regularly coordinated their outfits before their romance fell apart

On Friday, Sarah said she’s now sharing this publicly because keeping it to myself is doing more harm to my mental health than sharing it could ever do.

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