Alexa Nikolas, best known for her role on Nickelodeon's hit show Zoey 101, has accused Jonah Hill of engaging in "predatory" behavior towards her when she was a teenager.

The actress, now 31, detailed a serious incident which involved the Don't Look Up actor allegedly trying to "shove his tongue down [her] throat", in what was slammed by the actress as "inappropriate."

Taking to Twitter in a series of tweets recalling the alleged event, she said: "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."

The former child star went on to say that a friend of hers - aged 16 or 17 - was also "assaulted" at the party.

"Anyways," she continued. "#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."

"[He] 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," she went on.

"#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," Nikolas added. "I was 16 and #JonahHill was 24? Not okay."

Nikolas also emphasized that everyone "was aware" of her age before stating that her experiences have led her to become "traumatized by men in Hollywood."

"It’s truly sad the traumatic events I have lodged in my body and mind. Things have to change," she concluded.

Nikolas has spent a massive portion of her adult life fighting against abuse in the entertainment industry via her own organization called Eat Predators.

She has executed multiple protests, including one where she as well as other protestors, stood outside Warner Music Group’s Los Angeles headquarters holding signs which called out artists affiliated with the label group who hjave been accused of sexual misconduct.

Now she's demanding answers to her own experiences.

In response to the accusations, a representative for Hill spoke out on behalf of the star, denying all the allegations.

Marty Singer claimed that the incident was a "complete fabrication".

As per Deadline, Singer also called the former child actor a "demonstrably unreliable" source and "a serial accuser who has made assorted accusations against multiple men in the entertainment industry."

Nikolas responded to the comments via another Twitter thread, where she brought up the legal rep's past of defending convicted sex offenders such as Bill Cosby.

Quoting what Singer had said, the former actress wrote: "LOL Marty Singer let’s put that quote on a banner in front of your office. Tool."

She continued: "Wait this guy is the lawyer for Bill Cosby? Oh okay so you bully alleged serial accusers but defend alleged serial abusers. What law school did you even go to to? Absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing for you."

This was not the first time that Hill had faced serious accusations of abuse, as a former girlfriend of his came out to criticize the actor for his behavior during their relationship.

Sarah Brady accused him of "emotional abuse" after sharing multiple screenshots of text exchanges that took place during their year-long relationship.

Hill was accused of setting "relationship boundaries" by demanding that the professional surfer remove "inappropriate" pictures of herself from her social media account.

Things only got worse as Hill allegedly stipulated further so-called boundaries, stating that Brady was prohibited from surfing with men or otherwise maintaining "boundaryless inappropriate friendships" with men, refraining from modeling, and not being friends with women "in unstable places" - whatever that means.

Hill has not yet addressed the allegations hurled at him by his ex-girlfriend.
