First of all, Hill is a B-list actor who hasn't worked for several years, and she is an independent woman with a great career, worth approximately 5 million. I don't think she's after his money. And no, they didn't know each other in high school. He's 39 and she's 25.

And where did you get the idea she was "accepting sexual advances" from other men? He told her she wasn't allowed to talk to any other men. He said he didn't want her to surf "with men,” "to model,” “to post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit." None of those are reasonable, particularly since those are all part of her career and all are a far cry from accepting sexual advances from other people.

He's not traditional - he fits the literal dictionary definition of someone using coercive control, a form of domestic abuse, to limit their partners independence and to exert undue control over her. I don't understand why that isn't completely obvious to everyone.

The following is taken from a website in the UK, where coercive control is actually a crime. Please educate yourself about this topic, because you are way, way off base here.

"This controlling behaviour is designed to make a person dependent by isolating them from support, exploiting them, depriving them of independence and regulating their everyday behaviour.

Some common examples of coercive behaviour are:

Isolating you from friends and family

Monitoring your time

Taking control over aspects of your everyday life, such as where you can go, who you can see, what you can wear and when you can sleep."
