AceShowbiz - Alexa Nikolas slammed Justin Long over a "Punk'd" episode with Jonah Hill. In a new interview, the former child actress blasted the two after feeling very triggered by the resurfaced episode of the MTV series.
"I just saw it for the first time today," the "Zoey 101" alum said to Page Six on Tuesday, July 11 about the episode which featured underage drinking. "We as a society should be deeply disturbed that those men and the network signed off on that episode being released."
The said episode originally aired in 2005. It saw "Punk'd" co-creator Ashton Kutcher pranking Justin by having him go out to dinner with two 17 and 18 years old girls, who were played by actresses including "Twilight" star Ashley Greene.
Later in the episode, the waitress, also played by an actress, served them all alcoholic beverages while the "He's Just Not That into You" star was unaware of the girls' ages. Actors playing restaurant's manager and one of the teens' father then angrily stormed in, calling Justin out for drinking with "underage girls."
"Do you realize how bad this can be?" the fake manager asked. Trying to appease the situation, Justin could be heard saying, "We can all leave and no one knows anything." While Justin was unaware that he was pranked, the episode revealed that Jonah was an "accomplice" in the skit.
Of the skit, Alexa went on to say, "They had no shame. [It] says a lot about our culture at the time. I don't think the culture has changed much honestly. Which is why I created Eat Predators. It's time for accountability. Power to survivors."
Prior to this, Alexa accused Jonah of kissing her without her consent when she was 16 years old at a party being hosted by Justin. In a Twitter post, she claimed Jonah, who was 24 at the time, approached her and offered her a cigarette. "#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. I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside," she tweeted.
The Nickelodeon alum added on Twitter that Jonah and everyone else at the party were "aware" she was a teenager at the time. She went on to say that actors at the bash allegedly knew she and her friends were young because it was mentioned even prior to them arriving at the party.
Jonah strongly denied the claim and told Page Six via his attorneys Alexa's story was a "complete fabrication." Meanwhile, Justin's representative said, "This is the first time Justin has been made aware of this situation that allegedly happened nearly two decades ago. While Justin is sympathetic to any and all victims of any abuse, the simple fact remains he has no knowledge of what may or may not have happened concerning Ms. Nikolas."
