[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
Alexa Nikolas is continuing to share her story.
Earlier this month, several allegations about Jonah Hill came out. It all started when his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady blasted him for alleged manipulation and emotional abuse throughout their relationship. She exposed many of their text message exchanges to back her claims.
When Sarah shared her experiences with Jonah, someone else came forward with her own nightmare encounter with him: Alexa. She alleged a few weeks ago that she was assaulted by The Wolf of Wall Street actor when she was 16 and he was 24. The Zoey 101 alum claimed he kissed her without consent during a party hosted by Justin Long in 2008. Awful. And now, Alexa has shared some more horrific details from that night.

During an appearance on the Off The Rails podcast, the 31-year-old actress recalled she and her friend went to Justin’s house. Alexa said her underage pal, whom she didn’t name on the episode, was dating the 45-year-old actor’s roommate Jonathan Togo. WTF? At the beginning of the evening, they went into a bedroom together, leaving Alexa alone in the living room with Justin. The two were talking, drinking, and listening to a vinyl record together for a while before more people arrived at the home. And one of those people happened to be Jonah. She continued:
“She eventually comes out. We all start drinking. They even make some kind of jokes about our age. I remember Jonah at one point being like, ‘Can you even drink this?’ and he was like pulling it away, then put it back to me. So it was like a joke that we were underage.”
Seriously?! At one point during the night, Alexa wanted a cigarette and was offered one by Jonah – only if she went outside to his car with him to get it:
“I didn’t obviously have one because I couldn’t buy one legally, so Jonah ends up saying, ‘I have cigs but they’re in my car.’ I was like, ‘OK,’ and I thought he was going to go and get it. He was like, ‘I don’t really want to go all on my own, if you know what I mean. Come with me.’ And I remember being like, ‘Alright, whatever.’ What could possibly f**king happen between here and the Prius with Jonah Hill.”
However, things quickly took a scary turn when they went to the vehicle:
“So we went downstairs, see his Prius, the American Spirits, I remember, were in the front seat, and he grabbed them. We were walking awkwardly back to the door, and I remember saying, ‘Can I have one?’ because we were outside. And he didn’t say anything. He just slams me across the door. I’ll never forget it. You don’t forget these things. He like slammed me across the door, and he just put his tongue right in my mouth. I just remember it moving around. It was really intense.”
Such allegedly disgusting behavior. Alexa continued, remembering how she pushed him off her before running back into the house:
“I just remember being startled and kind of just grossed out. And I tried to push him away, and I did, actually. He did end up backing away. And I remember turning around and running upstairs.”
We cannot imagine how terrified she felt at the time, especially since she was only 16 years old. The child star said she “stayed away” from Jonah for the rest of the night, and she never received an apology from him since then. Heartbreaking. When asked about how Alexa processed the situation, she shared it wasn’t the first time she’d been “assaulted” and never really delved into the trauma until later in life:
“I’ve been assaulted so many times in the industry, it’s sad. It was pretty normal. But it definitely stood out in my brain, and I remember being angry and emotionally I felt a boundary was crossed — to speak Jonah’s language. A boundary felt like it was crossed. That’s how I felt.”
She added:
“You don’t call the cops. It wasn’t that kind of era. First of all, they would be like, ‘Why the f**k are you out at 15?’ And then your mom’s going to be super upset. You’re a teenager, so you’re put in a situation where the only thing to do is just quickly process it, and you end up really processing it as an adult in therapy later on.”
Although she told other people in her life about it, she never thought she “was ever going to tell that story publicly” nor “felt the need to really go out and tell the world.” It wasn’t until she saw the posts from Sarah that she decided to share what happened to her and “support” the surfer:
“When I woke up to Sarah’s brave screen captures of the experience that she had with him, it immediately triggered me. When you get triggered a little bit, it’s a little bit impulsive. I got triggered, and I was like I know no one else is coming forward about anything about him right now, and I wanted to do that to like support her.”
We commend Alexa for coming forward. It breaks our hearts so many other people have experienced such allegedly disturbing behavior. You can see her podcast appearance (below):
At this time, Jonah has not responded to her latest claims. However, his lawyers previously told Page Six her story was “a complete fabrication.” Reactions? Let us know in the comments below.
