Jonah Hill episode highlights how 'therapy speak' can act as a trojan horse for control

Brady, a 26-year-old professional surfer, shared screenshots of alleged text messages she received from Hill to her Instagram stories on Saturday. In them, the 39-year-old Hollywood star expressed his "boundaries for a romantic relationship".
