In the series of tweets, Nikolas describes the alleged incident which she claims happened at a house party in Miami.
According to the Nickelodeon actor, Hill pushed her against a door after she asked him for a cigarette.
She wrote: “#JonahHill didn’t hand me the cig which I thought was weird and then 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.”
The tweet continued: “I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside.”
In a later part of the thread, she claims that the actor knew Nikolas was 16, with her writing: “Just to note #JonahHill said if I wanted the cig I had to come with him outside to get it. He didn’t wanna go “all alone”. They were all aware I was 16.”
She added: “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.”
In response to the allegations, Hill’s legal representative, Marty Singer, claimed that the incident was a ‘complete fabrication’ adding that it ‘never happened’.
Singer went on to call Nikolas a ‘demonstrably unreliable’ source, adding that she was ‘a serial accuser who has made assorted accusations against multiple men in the entertainment industry’.
Prior to the allegations, Nikolas founded Eat Predators – a group that targets alleged sexual assault predators.
UNILAD has contact representatives for Hill and Nikolas.
