Jared Leto Responds To Sexual Misconduct Allegations
This story contains discussion of sexual misconduct.
Jared Leto is responding to allegations, including several claims of sexual misconduct, from multiple women.
Earlier today, Air Mail published a story that included interviews with nine women who claimed that the actor and musician had behaved inappropriately towards them. Some women alleged that the incidents took place while they were underage, and one anonymously claimed that 'It's been an open secret for a long time."
The reporting accuses Jared of, among other things, allegedly appearing nude in front of model Laura La Rue when she was 17 years old, and allegedly exposing himself and masturbating in front of an 18-year-old before placing their hand "on him."
In a statement to Air Mail, Jared's rep "expressly" denied the allegations in the story. They also directly addressed Laura's allegation, claiming that hers and Jared's "communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate" and that she "later applied to work as Mr. Leto's personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions." In the story, Laura denied having ever applied to work for him.
In response to another accuser's allegation that he would call her in the middle of the night and didn't "know if he was on drugs," Jared's rep claimed that the actor 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.'
The rep also told the publication that 'there was never any recruiting, complaints or impropriety" in response to allegations that Jared had hosted parties with the intent for young women to go skinny-dipping.
The publication also reported that these allegations against Jared surfaced after DJ Allie Teilz reposted a Facebook status from 2012 on IG, alleging that she was "assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17." Jared's reps say that her "allegations are demonstrably false."

Jared Leto accused of ‘sexual impropriety' by multiple women, some who say they were underage
Jared Leto is denying allegations of years-long 'sexual impropriety' brought forth by multiple women, including DJ and music producer Allie Teilz, who recently resurfaced her more than decade-old claims against the actor. In an Air Mail exposé published on Saturday, nine accusers shared their stories of Leto's alleged misconduct with younger women, some who claim they were underage. 'It's been an open secret for a long time,' one anonymous woman told the outlet. Model Laura La Rue said she met Leto in 2008, when she was 16 and he was 36. Despite her being underage, which La Rue claims Leto knew, he asked her for number and things quickly took a sexual turn, she said. She described one incident while she visiting him when she was 17, alleging Leto 'just walked out, d– out, like it was normal.' A representative for Leto denied that allegation, saying their interactions involved 'nothing sexual or inappropriate.' They further claimed that La Rue 'later applied to work as Mr. Leto's personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate.' Another accuser similarly recalled meeting Leto while underage. She described a time, after she'd turned 18, when they were at Leo's house and he 'suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating … grabbed my hand, and put it on him.' The exposé, titled 'The Cult of Leto,' is filled with similar accusations against the 53-year-ol. The women accuse him of preying on cute, young girls, several of whom they say were recruited to attend his parties in the mid-2000s. A representative for the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman 'expressly denied' all the allegations in the story. The exposé comes less than two months after a viral Instagram story from Teilz, who reupped a 2012 claim that she was 'assaulted and traumatized' by Leto when she was 17. 'He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable,' she said. She then received dozens of replies from women who shared their own experiences with the actor — some claiming he was inappropriate with them when they were as young as 14. Teilz reposted those replies, all of which can be read in her Story Highlight. Representatives for Leto did not immediately respond to a Daily News request for comment.

New York State trooper launched over guardrail after semi-truck plowed into patrol car during traffic stop on Thruway
A New York State trooper was seriously injured when a semi-truck plowed into his parked patrol car on the side of a busy upstate highway – obliterating the cruiser and sending the cop flying over a guardrail, police said. The freakish incident unfolded around 12:39 p.m. Friday as the trooper was conducting a traffic stop on the New York State Thruway in Schenectady County, just 25 miles southwest of Albany. The trailer-less tractor was traveling westbound on Interstate 90 when it slammed into the squad car, according to state police, which shared startling images of the collision. 4 The collision obliterated the New York State Police cruiser Friday afternoon. New York State Police/Facebook Police said the impact hurled the trooper, who was standing on the passenger side of a Honda Odyssey involved in the traffic stop, over the metal barrier and tumbling down an embankment. 'The incident is a powerful reminder: New York's Move Over Law is not optional,' police said, referring to a state law that requires motorists to slow down and shift lanes when a vehicle is stopped on an Empire State roadway. 4 The disastrous incident occurred on the New York State Thruway while the trooper was conducting a traffic stop. New York State Police/Facebook 'When you see emergency, police, fire, or highway crews on the shoulder – slow down and move over. Lives depend on it.' Images of the wreck showed the mangled cop car perched atop the flattened guardrail, its rear end sheared off, car hood damaged, windshield shattered and airbags deployed. The cruiser also smashed into the back of the Honda, leaving it severely damaged and shuttering the thruway for hours. 4 The trooper was sent to the hospital with serious injuries. New York State Police/Facebook The trooper was taken to Albany Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The Honda driver and passenger suffered minor injuries and were transported to St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam, police said. 4 The wreck, which sent the driver and passenger involved in the traffic stop to the hospital, closed the highway for hours. New York State Police/Facebook It was not immediately clear if the truck driver, who was not identified, was charged. 'We wish our Trooper a full and speedy recovery,' police said.
