More people are opening up about encounters with Jonah Hill, as a radio host has claimed that she had a "scary moment" with the actor.

As previously reported, 39-year-old Hill has found himself in hot water recently after an ex-girlfriend of his posted multiple screenshots of text messages that he allegedly sent her.

Sarah Brady began dating Hill in 2021 but they split in early 2022, and the series of texts shared by Brady appear to show the Hollywood actor stating that she is no longer able to post photos of herself in a bikini or surf with other men, amongst other things.

The Superbad actor stated that this was him laying out his "boundaries", though Brady has accused him of being "emotionally abusive".

Following these claims, radio host Fifi Box explained on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick show all about her awkward encounter with Hill back in 2012.

Box revealed that she, alongside her former co-host Jules Lund, was interviewing Hill and Channing Tatum as they were doing promotional activities for 21 Jump Street.

"I was sitting next to Jules, and I was really just focused on Channing. To me, it was an interview with Channing Tatum and the guy next to him," Box confessed.

The host then asked the Wolf of Wall Street star what she thought was an innocent, playful question - but he didn't take it that way.

Lund asked: "Last time you were out here, Jonah, you hooked up with a friend of mine and you didn’t call her. A girl in every port?"

"Bulls***," Hill allegedly replied. "You’re talking to two people that have no shame in hiding anything from their past, right?"

He continued: "But we don’t know enough about you to dig up all the s*** from your past, to make fun of you on live radio. If I knew anything about you and I cared enough, I’d dig up embarrassing s*** from your past to rip on you about it but I don't care."

Speaking recently about the incident, Box said: "It was a very uncomfortable - and I am going to say scary - moment because he fired up. It was provocative, and it did provoke him."

In an interview in 2014 with News.com.au, Box's co-host Lund revealed that Hill was one of his least favorite people to interview and that he regretted asking certain questions.

Lund said: "He just went [at] me, and I thought, oh f***, I don’t have any power here, what was I thinking?"

He explained that the radio station got in trouble after the interview, and promoters were wary of their clients, such as Rihanna, coming on for a chat. Though Lund believes that Hill was just trying to show off for Tatum.

Hill is yet to respond to any of the allegations that have been made against him.
