"Zoey 101" star Alexa Nikolas has accused actor Jonah Hill of shoving her against a door and kissing her without her consent when she was 16 years old and he was 24.
In a string of tweets posted July 8, Nikolas said that when she was 16, she was invited to a house party at actor Justin Long's house and said, "Jonah Hill came over at some point."
"We were all pretty wasted because of course the predators were feeding us minors a bunch of alcohol," Nikolas said of that night.
Nikolas recalled asking Hill for "a cig" that night. She said he told her that if she wanted one, she'd have to go with him to his car "right outside" to get one because he didn't want to go outside "all alone." She said she and Hill then went to the car and got the cigarettes from the front seat.
"As we walked back to the door I asked him for it and he said nothing but slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat. I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside," Nikolas wrote of the night.
In a statement to Insider, Long's rep said, "This is the first time Justin has been made aware of this situation that allegedly happened nearly two decades ago. 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."
Representatives for Hill did not immediately respond when asked about the allegations.
Speaking to Insider, Nikolas said in the moment, she felt like what happened was physically and emotionally wrong. But she said cognitively, it didn't make sense to her. That's part of why she said she's waited to tell her story.
"It wasn't even just that I was a minor being preyed upon at this party sober," Nikolas told Insider. She said Hill and Long were feeding her and her best friend, the only other minor there, alcohol all night. "I was a minor preyed upon while they were intoxicating me, and we all know what happens when you're intoxicated."
"I wasn't raped that night, but I was sexually assaulted," Nikolas said. "It was a crime what he did."
Nikolas' accusations follow those of Hill's former girlfriend, Sarah Brady, who alleged Hill emotionally abused her during their relationship.
Nikolas told Insider she was inspired to speak about her allegations against Hill when Brady shared her accusations of emotional abuse on Instagram.
"To see that for her felt like I got to heal even a little bit," Nikolas said. "I felt like if she's able to talk about emotional abuse, which is something that a lot of us don't talk about, then I definitely am able to talk about my minor experience."
Last August, Insider reported Nikolas' accusations against former Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider, who she says bullied people on set and oversexualized the teenagers on his shows.
In separate tweets, Nikolas also accused "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane of abuse, though she didn't provide details. She voiced a character in an episode of the show when she was 18.
MacFarlane did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
"I've been traumatized by men in hollywood. It's truly sad the traumatic events I have lodged in my body and mind. Things have to change," Nikolas wrote on Twitter.
Ultimately, Nikolas said she is trying to push past the fear she once had.
"They should be afraid, actually should be scared, because the person who did something wrong in this experience was not me," she said.
