Jonah Hill has responded to claims that he assaulted former child star Alexa Nikolas when she was 16.
Alexa Nikolas, now 31, accused the Don't Look Up actor of "predatory" behavior while she was a minor working in the entertainment industry.
Taking to Twitter, the former Zoey 101 star recalled an alleged interaction with the 39-year-old that has been slammed online as "inappropriate."
"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," she wrote in a tweet, also alleging that this other actor also "assaulted" a friend of hers when she was just 16 or 17.
"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."
The former child actress also emphasized that everyone "was aware" of her age before stating that she's been "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.
Now, just days after the accusations went public, a legal representative for Hill has spoken out, denying all the allegations.
As per a report published by Deadline on Wednesday, Marty Singer claimed that the incident was a "complete fabrication" also adding that it "never happened."
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."
The news comes shortly after one of Hill's ex girlfriends accused him of emotional abuse during their relationship.
After the revelation, Sarah Brady told her 155,000 Instagram followers that she struggles with mental health issues "but I do not use it to control [people] like he did to me."
"It’s been a year of healing and growth with the help of loved ones and doctors to get back to living my life without guilt, shame, and self-judgment for things as small as surfing in a swimsuit rather than a more conservative wetsuit. And I’m sure there’s still much more healing from this abuse ahead of me," she added.
She also shared some empathy for the situation, saying that Hill’s alleged actions did not necessarily make him a "terrible person."
"Someone being an emotionally abusive partner doesn’t mean they’re a terrible person (often stems from their own trauma) and at the same time it doesn’t mean it’s ok," she said.
Hill has yet to address these allegations.
