Former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel shared her thoughts about the reports surrounding actor Jonah Hill and his ex-girlfriend, semi-professional surfer Sarah Brady, as reported by TMZ. The former couple ended their year-long relationship in 2022. In a July 11 TikTok, Frankel stated that she did not have a good experience when she interacted with Hill while filming an episode of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and stated, “he was a low-grade d***.” She said, however, she has mixed feelings about Brady’s decision to publicly disclose information regarding alleged text messages with Hill. 

According to Fox News, Brady took to her Instagram Stories to share an “alleged text exchange” from December 2021, which showed the “Wolf of Wall Street” actor telling her “surfing with men, boundaryless inappropriate friendships with men, to model, to post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit, to post sexual pictures, friendships with women who are in unstable places and from your wild recent past beyond getting a lunch or coffee or something respectful” went against his “boundaries for romantic partnership.” In other text messages, dated August 2022, Hill stated he “did start dating someone recently,” in reference to Olivia Milla, the mother of his child, who was born in June 2023. Fox News reported that Brady replied, “I’d appreciate if you make that woman aware of how recently you’ve been flirting with me, sexting me, and leaning on me for partner level emotional support.” TMZ reported that the law student also “accused Hill of being abusive, manipulative and controlling.”

While filming her TikTok, Frankel stated that she believes “these texts seem crazy.” The former Bravo star also said she has “sent texts to people and people have sent to [her] that would seem nuts in a vacuum.” She then asked, “Where the line is in what texts and phone calls should be shared?” 

“I think it’s tricky reading texts, some people might say they may not want their girlfriend wearing bathing suits and posing in sexual poses or sexy poses or hanging out with a lot of male friends, surfing, etc., so I don’t know the whole story and I only have read little snip bits and headlines, but if you are in a relationship with someone for one year, are texts free game – fair game?” said Frankel. 

The mother of one also inquired if Brady posted the Instagram Stories because she “needs help and she won’t be silenced anymore.” 

“They both seem a little nuts. Like, this is kind of crazy … Short of like blink twice and he’s been like actually emotionally harmful to her, is it okay to just share texts? I mean, that’s a frightening 2023 for me,” said the RHONY alum.
