Jonah Hill fired back after being asked a pointed question about his personal life in an interview on Australian radio that’s resurfaced in the aftermath of his texting scandal. 

On her breakfast radio show earlier this week, Fifi Box recalled the ‘disastrous’ interview she had with Hill back in 2012.

The chat has resurfaced in the wake of Hill’s ex Sarah Brady sharing shocking texts that she allegedly got from the actor, branding him a ‘misogynist’ and ‘narcissist.’

Speaking on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick Show, Fifi, 46, said she and her former co-host, Jules Lund, were interviewing Hill, 39, when he was promoting a movie.

She claimed the chat turned sour after Lund asked Hill a probing question, which made him uncomfortable.

‘It was a very uncomfortable, scary, moment, because he fired up. It provoked him,’ she began.

‘Jules said, “Last time you were out here, Jonah, you hooked up with a friend of mine and you didn’t call her. A girl in every port? Natalie…”‘

Fifi said Jonah immediately fired up over being put on the spot and lashed out at the interviewers.

‘Bulls**t. I don’t know enough about you to dig up all the s**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 s**t from your past to rip on you about it – but I don’t care,’ was Jonah’s fiery response.

Earlier this week, the hosts of Australia’s No. 1 female podcast also weighed in on the current Jonah Hill texting scandal.

The Superbad actor was recently accused of sending ’emotionally abusive’ texts to his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady, who has been posting the year-old messages to social media all week.

Discussing the subject, Life Uncut’s Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne sided with Brady and blasted Hill for masking his relationship rules as ‘boundaries’.

‘It’s not boundaries, it’s a rule book he’s given her,’ said Byrne, calling Hill’s behaviour ‘manipulative’.

‘If those texts are real then it’s hugely problematic,’ she added.

Sharing her two cents, Hockley said, ‘This is gaslighting, it’s manipulation, coercion, it’s control.’

Despite the pair slamming the Hollywood A-lister, they also explained that his behaviour was stemming ‘from his own insecurities’ with self-esteem and body image, which Hill has been open about in the past.

She said the chat went downhill after Jules Lund (pictured) asked Hill a pointed question which made him uncomfortable. 'Jules said, "Last time you were out here, Jonah, you hooked up with a friend of mine and you didn't call her. A girl in every port? Natalie..."'

The alleged texts from Hill display him outlining his parameters for a 'romantic partnership.' The two dated back in 2021 for about one year

Hill’s ex-girlfriend had the Internet buzzing when she took to social media to brand the actor a ‘misogynist’ and ‘narcissist’ by sharing alleged text messages from the star this week.

And now the 26-year-old surf instructor has revealed why she waited until his new girlfriend gave birth before posting the alleged receipts.

Brady took to Instagram on Sunday to post a voice memo to explain the timing of her posts was out of respect toward the pregnancy of 39-year-old Jonah’s girlfriend Olivia Millar.

She could be heard saying: ‘I didn’t want [Millar] to have to see all of this while she was pregnant because I didn’t know what kind of stress that would cause her and her baby physically.’

The surf instructor went on to say that she knows that ‘the timing can seem bad’ but she is hoping that Millar had seen the posts in order to ‘make an informed decision of how she wants to care for herself and her baby.

‘I just hope she would receive some of these screenshots somehow through friends, like, friends of mine that I met through him that I know are good people that I know would make an effort to protect her.’

This came just a day after Brady blasted the Superbad star by taking to Instagram to share messages allegedly sent by him that appear to reveal their past arguments.
