Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady shared the message from a TikTok therapist who went viral about the “misuse of the concept” of boundaries following her allegations that the actor was “emotionally abusive” during their relationship.
Brady, a professional surfer and model, unleashed a series of Instagram stories against the “Wolf of Wall Street” star, saying that Hill was calling the shots and would “manipulate” and “gaslight” her when they dated from August 2021 to 2022.
By a unique coincidence, the “You People” actor sells his form of control on his own “Meaningful Existence” website, featuring “complete unwavering control” merchandise.
Hill soft-launched the brand in April with former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna by his side at a Lakers game.

In what seemed to be just a joke at the time, he simply sold a $40 T-shirt online. But the site soon added sweatshirts, hats, socks, and tote bags, seemingly establishing itself in the underworld of witty wellness marketing.

“Meaningful Existence is a mission-driven lifestyle company and wellness community that offers quality products and supports mental health and therapy resources,” the online company said. “Our goal is to help remove the stigma around prioritizing mental wellbeing.”
The company also appears to be offering a scholarship program to “address the critical shortage of mental health professionals across the country,” and has an application process for students pursuing careers in the field to potentially receive $5,000 for ” tuition, fees and other related financial obligations”.

Brady, 26, issued a “warning to all girls” this weekend in a series of social media shares that reportedly showed text messages from Hill outlining “his boundaries for a romantic partnership”.
“it’s been a year of healing and growth with the help of loved ones and doctors to live my life again without guilt, shame and self-judgment for little things like swimming in a swimsuit instead of a more conservative wetsuit. And I’m sure that there is much more healing from this abuse ahead of me,” she wrote in a post.
A screenshot showed a text allegedly from Hill telling Brady that his “boundaries” were “clear and simple” if she had to “surf with men”, “have rampant (sic), inappropriate friendships with men”, ” model”, pictures of herself in a bathing suit or “sexual” pictures, or has friendships with “unstable” women and women from her “wild recent past”, then he was not “the right partner for” her.

Brady praised viral sensation Jeff Guenther for tearing down some of the text messages Jonah reportedly sent, and how his idea of boundaries didn’t quite fit the definition.
“Jonah Hill used therapy language to control his girlfriend Sarah – his now ex-girlfriend – and it’s important that we discuss this abuse of therapy language, which is quite a thing these days, and how it can be super problematic because it masks controlling behavior under a generally accepted positive concept — boundaries in this case — making it more difficult for the person on the receiving end (Sarah) to challenge it,” Jeff said.

“Jonah’s use of the term boundaries in this message is an abuse of the concept. A boundary is a healthy boundary that a person sets for themselves to protect their well-being and integrity. It is a rule or guideline that one creates to be reasonable, safe, and permissible ways for others to behave towards them and how they will react if someone crosses those boundaries.”

He added: “However, in the message Jonah sent to Sarah, he doesn’t set boundaries that protect his emotional well-being. Instead, he dictates what behaviors and friendships Sarah can have. He’s essentially instructing Sarah on who she can have .” be friends with, what she can do professionally and how she can appear online. This is not an example of healthy boundary setting. Instead, it reflects an attempt at control.’
Jeff said Jonah’s lyrics “show a lack of respect for Sarah’s autonomy and individuality. Jonah’s message is more about limiting Sarah’s behavior to suit his comfort level and insecurities than expressing his feelings or needs in a healthy way. ”

Jeff also added a comment about Hill’s latest movie, “Stutz,” which focuses on Hill’s relationship with his therapist, Phil Stutz.
“One last thing, Jonah Hill made a beautiful documentary about therapy, and it’s sad to see him use what he’s learned as a weapon to try and manipulate his girlfriend,” he said. “That sucks.”
