To make her case, she shared a series of screenshots allegedly showing texts Hill sent to her during their relationship.

Key Points: 
  • To make her case, she shared a series of screenshots allegedly showing texts Hill sent to her during their relationship.
  • Emotional abuse was incorporated into the Serious Crime Act in 2015 and the Domestic Abuse Act in 2021.
  • According to the texts shared by Brady, Hill had a series of prohibitions for her behaviour during their relationship.
  • Hill has not publicly responded to the allegations and his publicist did not respond to our request for comment.

Were Jonah Hill’s “boundaries” a form of coercive control?

    • It could be argued that these required “boundaries” fall under one of the examples of controlling or coercive behaviour outlined in the UK Domestic Abuse Act.
    • The crime of controlling or coercive behaviour does not have to be accompanied by physical violence and instead a pattern of psychological control can be enough for a prosecution.
    • Such a pattern transcends any single incident which viewed on its own and out of context might not capture the full nature and impact of the coercive control.

What counts as psychological abuse


    Psychological or emotional abuse (as defined in the Domestic Abuse Act) can include:
    • These are clearly “red flags” for psychological abuse, so if someone is experiencing them, they would be well advised to read the rest of the statutory guidance for the Domestic Abuse Act and to seek help from others.
    • The Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs (an initiative based in the US that works toward ending violence against women) created the widely used Duluth Power and Control Wheel model to describe coercive relationships.
    • These contrasting models compare the use of emotional abuse versus respect.
    • They can also refer loved ones to domestic abuse charities and mental health professionals.

1. Mindfulness

    • Mindfulness is the practice of observing your internal realities (thoughts, emotions, memories and sensations) and external realities (social and physical environment) in a nonjudgmental way.
    • It has been shown to improve anxiety, stress, insomnia and pain, among others.
    • Cultivating awareness of your body regularly (an internal reality) can help catch negative physical symptoms early.

2. Attention-based meditation

    • Research has shown that practising meditation can improve emotional regulation, which may help you to better manage stressful situations at work and boost your focus.
    • A study I did with colleagues found that an attention-based meditation programme reduced stress, anxiety and burnout in emergency medicine doctors compared with a control group that didn’t undergo the programme.
    • Equalising the breath (breathing five seconds in and five seconds out, for example) while practising attention-based meditation can help you disengage from cyclical thinking in the middle of the night and fall back to sleep.

3. Meditation to cultivate compassion

    • It’s useful to disengage from this voice using attention-based meditation.
    • During difficult times, you should also cultivate compassion for yourself, as a person who makes mistakes (like every other human).
    • Close your eyes, equalise your breathing (five seconds in and five seconds out) and then try to picture your own face.
    • We can use this practice to conjure up their face, smile (physically and internally) and wish them health and happiness.
