Keke Palmer and ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson started dating in 2021 and welcomed their first baby together in February 2023.

Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady went public accusing the star of emotional abuse. On July 6, the 26-year-old surfer shared on Instagram a professional photo of herself wearing a white crop top and matching skirt and wrote, "Reviving a pic I took down by request of a misogynist narcissist." The next day Brady, who dated Hill between 2021 and 2022, wrote on her Instagram Story, "Someone being an emotionally abusive partner doesn't mean they're a terrible person (often stems from their own trauma) and at the same time it doesn't mean it's ok."

Brady then shared several screenshots from past alleged conversations with Hill, 39, including one in which he asked her to remove photos of herself surfing in a swimsuit from her Instagram, claiming that he was "not comfortable" with it, though Brady shared previous DMs in which he liked those same photos.

Hill allegedly wrote, "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. If these things bring you to a state of happiness I support it and there will be no hard feelings. These are my boundaries for romantic partnership."

Brady agreed to let Hill "pre-approve" her friendships with men and the photos she posts, then wrote over the screenshot of the conversation, "This is high key so embarrassing. I did this all in the name of protecting him from crippling anxiety." In another Instagram Story, Brady shared a screenshot of a conversation with a friend in which she told them, "Psychological abuse can cause just as much damage. Especially to someone with a generic mental illness like me. I was probably a perfect target for him, having been recently diagnosed with bipolar type 1 disorder and towards the end of the relationship when he was running out of ways to manipulate me, he started questioning my sanity and my medications." Hill's behavior has stirred a public debate about men using therapy-speak to justify manipulative emotional abuse, and therapists have chimed in online clarifying that a boundary is not a free pass to control another person's behavior but rather a healthy, reasonable limit a person sets for themselves.

▲

Brady received criticism for sharing the screenshots publicly, and wrote that she decided to speak out about Hill now because "keeping it to myself was causing more damage to my mental health than sharing it could ever do." She added, "It's been a year of healing & growth with the help of loved ones and doctors to get back to living my life without guilt, shame, and self-judgement for things as small as surfing in a swimsuit rather than a more conservative wetsuit." This scandal comes a month after Hill's rep confirmed the actor had welcomed his first child with new girlfriend Olivia Millar, and Brady said, "I hope my ex has a daughter. Maybe she'll turn him into a real feminist."

Halle Bailey’s boyfriend DDG seems to be going after 'The Little Mermaid' star's career in a cringeworthy display of insecurity—his words, not ours!—in his new song 'Famous.' In one part of the song, he alludes to Bailey kissing her co-star Jonah Hauer-King in the film, as Ariel and the prince, with the lyrics, "Filmin' a movie now you kissing dudes / You know I love you a lot / I don't give a [ ] if that [ ] for promo / I don't wanna see this [ ] no more.”

Not done there, DDG seemingly addressed the red carpet photo from the UK premiere of the movie where Bailey is holding hands with Hauer-King. "Why is y'all holdin' hands in the photo? / You know I'm insecure, that's a no-no," he sang. He then raps in the chorus, "Fall in love, I hate that [ ] / Knockin' me off my grind, I can't [ ] with relationships / I ain't even got enough time in a day for me to chase a [ ] / I don't even ask for much, I ask you to do the basic [ ] / Hardest thing I did was fall in love with a famous [ ]."
