An attorney for Jonah Hill is denying accusations by Zoey 101 alum Alexa Nikolas that Hill assaulted her when she was 16 and he was 24.

This past weekend, Nikolas posted a series of tweets where she alleged that Hill slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat during a party at Justin Longs house, suggested to be in 2008. Nikolas said shed asked Hill for a cigarette, and he told her shed have to go outside with him to his car to get one.

Nikolas, now 31, posted her allegations in response to a series of text exchanges that Hills ex-girlfriend, surfer Sarah Brady, had shared publicly, accusing Hill of controlling and emotionally abusive behavior.

Hill hasnt commented publicly on Bradys posts, but his lawyer, Marty Singer, told Deadline on Wednesday that Nikolas allegations were a complete fabrication and said the events she described never happened.

Singer also called the former child actor a demonstrably unreliable source and a serial accuser who has made assorted accusations against multiple men in the entertainment industry. (Nikolas has in recent years been outspoken about alleged sexual misconduct and alleged mistreatment of child actors in her field.)

Nikolas responded to Singers statement Wednesday with a series of scorched-earth tweets, including one where she noted that he has defended alleged serial abusers like Bill Cosby.

Wait this guy is the lawyer for Bill Cosby? Oh okay so you bully alleged serial accusers but defend alleged serial abusers. What law school did you even go to to? Absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing for you.

Nikolas told Page Six that the other partygoers at Longs house were aware of her youth and made jokes about it. A representative for Long told the website that he was completely out of the loop regarding Nikolas allegations.

This is the first time Justin has been made aware of this situation that allegedly happened nearly two decades ago, the spokesperson said. While Justin is sympathetic to any and all victims of any abuse, the simple fact remains he has no knowledge of what may or may not have happened concerning Ms. Nikolas.
