Jonah Hill shot to stardom with his leading role in the 2007 film Superbad and has gone on to star in a number of hit movies, while also securing himself some lucrative business deals.
While the 39-year-old may have had a hugely successful career, he is now the centre of a new scandal after his ex-girlfriend came forward with claims he was "emotionally abusive" during their relationship.
Professional surfer Sarah Brady branded Jonah a "misogynist" and leaked alleged screenshots of texts he sent her during their relationship.
In one text shared on Sarah's story and published by TMZ, Jonah said: "Plain and simple. If you need: 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. I am not the right partner for you."
Since then, Jonah's streetwear brand Meaningful Existence has been selling an "emotional baggage tote", with the wording "Complete Unrelenting Control".
