While actor and comedian Jonah Hill took heat throughout the world of celebrity gossip over allegations of emotional abuse from an ex-girlfriend, conservative commentator Candace Owens stepped up in defense with her own thoughts on “insecure women.”
After breaking up in 2022, and following the announcement that Hill and current girlfriend Olivia Miller had a child together weeks earlier, ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady took to social media Friday to share messages attributed to the filmmaker under the banner of a cautionary tale.
While many condemned Hill over the allegations and condoned Brady for coming forward, Owens used her prominent voice to defend the position taken in the messages and excoriate “women in society today” who “don’t want to rise to the level of being good women.”
“There is literally nothing wrong with Jonah Hill’s leaked text messages regarding what he wants in a partner. But there is plenty wrong with women in society today. Basic respect for your partner is now being labeled as ‘misogynistic’ from insecure women,” the podcast host said Saturday.
Shortly thereafter, Owens included a screengrab from Brady’s post and captioned it, “Women say there are no good men. The truth is there are plenty of good men but many women don’t want to rise to the level of being good women. Basic respect for yourself and your partner isn’t a tall ask. Again, there is nothing wrong with Jonah Hill’s leaked text messages.”

Part of the conversation attributed to Hill dating back to Dec. 2, 2021, left him allegedly stating, “I am not the right partner for you,” after listing, “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.”
The message further added, “If these things bring you to a place of happiness I support it and there will be no hard feelings. These are my boundaries for romantic partnership.”
Critics of Owens’ take found ways to continue their disapproval of Hill’s supposed behavior while also taking umbrage against the conservative firebrand.
“I appreciate holding women to account, but Jonah Hill isn’t without blame. He romantically pursued a woman he knew posted images of her in bathing suits while surfing. Once the relationship began, he demanded she give it up for him. High school behavior,” Tom Pappert wrote.
In response, Owens contended, “There were no demands made. He respectfully stated what he wanted and then told her if that wasn’t what she wanted, they could both move on. And then he literally moved on, and she clearly hasn’t.”

Owens went on, “The stuff you do when you are single is obviously not what you continue to do when you are in a committed relationship. This should be obvious. If you want to be in a committed relationship and act single then the relationship failing shouldn’t come as a surprise to you.”
Despite the reasoned take, the debate raged on.
Seems they want different things and is good they moved on. Nothing to see here.

It sounds like he chose an insta ‘baddie’ of some sort and expected her to change after she was with him. That shows that he is shallow and unable to make wise predictions about what his future would be based on someonems current character.
That said people do change in…

Candace, her Career is a surfer. Her entire job is to be in bathing suit and take pictures and post them on social media. If he didn’t like it, and couldn’t handle it he should have never dated a professional surfer. End of story. He was trying to control her and her career. Stop… pic.twitter.com/oTFwFQCHHI

Bad take Candace, this has nothing to do with respect and everything to do with control.
What he listed weren’t boundaries, they were rules. Boundaries don’t attempt to change other people’s behaviors, they are what on does or does not do if A, B, or C happens.
Learning the…

Defending Jonah Hill was not on my 2023 bingo card, but here I am. As a mother of 2 young men, 25 &22… Men, don’t lower your standards. Those women that get offended by your values and morals or call you names are not worth pursuing anyway.
