Bethenny Frankel claims she once had a less-than enjoyable encounter with “d**k” Jonah Hill, who was recently accused of emotional abuse.

“I did The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jonah Hill was the first guest,” Frankel said in a TikTok video posted today. “And he was a low-grade d**k.”

She added: “He was put upon and kind of treated me like he was … better than [me]. I felt like a loser and the nobody that I was.”

The former Real Housewives of New York City star, 52, then went on to address Hill’s misogynistic texts, which were released by his ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady over the weekend.

“These texts seem crazy. And there are texts that I have sent to people and that people have sent to me that would seem nuts in a vacuum,” she said.

Despite bashing Hill, 39, Frankel said she isn’t sure where she stands on releasing private texts, referencing several pop culture moments, including Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s legal battle.

She asked followers: “Where the line is in what texts and phone calls should be shared? In the past, Mel Gibson’s crazy phone call that his ex shared, Alec Baldwin with his daughter, that crazy conversation was shared. A lot was shared with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard and until they got into court, everyone was team Amber. So, I think it’s tricky to be reading texts.”

The SkinnyGirl founder admitted she doesn’t “know the whole story” behind Hill’s texts, but called both the actor and the surfer “a little nuts.”

“If you’re in a relationship with someone for one year, are texts free game, like fair game?” Frankel questioned. “Has he abused her in a way that she has to cry for help and she needs help and she won’t be silenced anymore?”

The scandal surrounding the 21 Jump Street star began on Saturday when Brady, 25, posted screenshots of text messages the actor allegedly sent her, in which he stated that some of her Instagram pics were inappropriate.

In the messages, the Don’t Look Up star told his then-girlfriend to remove photos of her “ass in a thong.”

Brady claimed she respected his wishes in removing the photos. However, Hill allegedly told her she still didn’t “seem to get” his point and proceeded to list his over-the-top “boundaries.”

Hill and Brady started dating in August 2021 and split in early 2022.

The actor moved on with clothing brand owner Olivia Millar shortly after his break-up with Brady. He and Millar — who was seen wearing a diamond ring on that finger in March — welcomed their first baby together in May.

Brady admitted she waited to share the messages until after Millar gave birth because she didn’t want to disturb the pregnancy.

“I didn’t want [Millar] to have to see all of this while she was pregnant because I didn’t know what kind of stress that would cause her and her baby physically,” Brady explained in a voice memo posted to her Instagram Story Sunday.

Although Hill and his team have yet to directly respond to the claims, his clothing brand is now selling an “emotional baggage tote” that seemingly boasts a passive aggressive response.
