Australian radio host Fifi Box recently recounted a "scary" incident with actor Jonah Hill during a 2012 interview. Hill reacted strongly when Box's co-host, Jules Lund, asked a question about his past.

This anecdote was shared in light of recent allegations of emotional abuse against Hill by his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady and assault accusations from actress Alexa Nikolas. Earlier in the week, Brady shared alleged text messages where the actor outlined his "boundaries" regarding her interactions with other men and social media posts.

Fifi Box, an Australian radio host, recently recounted a "scary" incident involving actor Jonah Hill during a "disastrous" interview in 2012. Box revealed that her co-host at the time, Jules Lund, had asked a provocative question that triggered Hill's strong reaction. "It was very uncomfortable, and I am gonna say a little scary moment because he did fire up... It did provoke Jonah," Box recalled, per Page Six.

She then played the resurfaced audio, and on it, Lund could be heard saying that the last time Hill was in Australia, he had hooked up with a friend of his but didn't reach out to her afterward. In response, Hill immediately refuted the "bullsh*t" statement, saying, "That's not true. That's not [the] last time I was out here, first of all."

The "Superbad" actor then expressed his disappointment at being subjected to personal scrutiny, stating, "You're talking to two people who have no shame in hiding anything from their past, right? But we don't know enough about you to dig up all the sh*t 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 sh*t from your past to rip on you about it — but I don't care, and I don't know, so I don't have the luxury," he added.

Box shared this story on her radio show, "Fifi, Fev & Nick," on Tuesday, feeling it was relevant in light of recent allegations of abuse against Hill by his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady and former "Zoey 101" actress Alexa Nikolas.

Hill, who recently welcomed his first child with rumored fianceé Olivia Millar, found himself embroiled in allegations that surfaced over the weekend.

His ex-girlfriend, Brady, shared text messages that she claims were sent by Hill during their relationship, which lasted from August 2021 to sometime in 2022. These messages allegedly outlined Hill's "boundaries," including restrictions on Brady's interactions with other men and limitations on the type of photos she could post on Instagram.

In one screenshot dated December 2, 2021, Hill supposedly indicated that he would end their relationship if Brady continued to maintain "boundaryless" and inappropriate friendships with men, as well as "friendships with women who were in unstable places."

In a recent episode of Australia's leading female podcast, "Life Uncut," hosts Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne delved into the ongoing controversy surrounding actor Hill's alleged texting scandal.

During their discussion, Hockley and Byrne expressed their support for Brady and strongly criticized Hill for disguising his relationship expectations as "boundaries."

Byrne asserted that Hill's behavior went beyond mere boundaries. She said, per Daily Mail, "It's not boundaries, it's a rule book he's given her." She further characterized Hill's conduct as "manipulative," while Hockley chimed in, describing it as "gaslighting, manipulation, coercion, and control."

Despite their scathing remarks about the Hollywood A-lister, the podcast hosts also acknowledged that Hill's actions likely stemmed from his own insecurities, particularly related to self-esteem and body image, which he has candidly discussed in the past.

Moreover, a new development emerged when actress Alexa Nikolas came forward on Twitter, alleging that Hill had engaged in abusive behavior toward her.

According to Nikolas, when she was only 16 years old, she recounted that she attended a party hosted by actor Justin Long where Hill was also present, and during a moment when they went outside to smoke, Hill purportedly assaulted her.

Nikolas detailed her experience, stating, "#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." She added, "I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside."

A rep for Hill has since denied these allegations, calling them a "complete fabrication."
