Nine women accuse Jared Leto of sexual impropriety in new report

Multiple women have accused Jared Leto of impropriety, with some calling the 53-year-old actor and musician's behavior 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable'. In a new report by Air Mail on Saturday, nine women have come forward to accuse Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior over the years, including flirting with teenagers. Speaking to the outlet, one woman said that back in 2006, when she was 16 years old, Leto approached her outside a cafe in Los Angeles. According to the woman, Leto, who was seated with the actor Ashley Olsen, who was then 19, grabbed her arm. 'I looked down and it was Jared Leto,' the woman told Air Mail, adding: 'We had a quick conversation, and he got my number.' She went on to say that Leto called her home a few days later, recalling: 'I don't know if he was on drugs or what … It was the weirdest, grossest voice … [But] for me, it's Jared, you know?' She said that Leto said he was hosting a party at his house that evening and that he invited her. The woman declined, telling the outlet: 'I didn't even have a driver's license.' Nevertheless, she said, Leto kept calling her, 'always at one, two, three AM'. 'And the conversations turned sexual. He'd ask things like: 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a dick?'' she told Air Mail. Another woman, the model Laura La Rue, recounted a similar experience to the outlet, saying that when she was 16 years old in 2008, she was at an event in a private residence in Beverly Hills where Leto was 'watching her so intensely'. 'He asked how old I was. I said, 'I'm 16. How old are you?'' La Rue told Air Mail. Leto, who was 36 at the time, proceeded to ask for her number. The two began an email correspondence, which eventually led to her visiting Leto's home in April 2009, the outlet reports. 'I remember him teasing me the whole time I was there,' La Rue said, adding: 'He was flirting with me. He'd lean in close, then pull away, like it was a game.' In a statement to Air Mail, a representative of Leto said: 'Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate … and Ms La Rue later applied to work as Mr Leto's personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.' Air Mail reports La Rue denying ever applying for a personal assistant role with Leto. During a separate visit, La Rue said, Leto walked out of a room completely naked when she was 17 years old. 'He just walked out, dick out, like it was normal … I thought maybe this was just what adult men do,' she told Air Mail. Another woman who spoke to the outlet said that she and Leto began a texting relationship while she was still underage. According to her, Leto would ask her inappropriate questions during her visits to his house, such as: 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with fuck you?' The woman added that once, when she was 18, Leto 'suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating'. She told the outlet: 'Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said: 'I want you to spit on it.'' Another woman, Allie Teilz, a Los Angeles-based DJ and music producer, last month on Instagram reposted a 2012 Facebook status in which she had said: 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat,' Air Mail reported. In her Instagram stories, which Air Mail reviewed, Teilz said: 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17 … He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' A representative of Leto has 'expressly denied' the various women's accusations reported in Air Mail, including Teilz's, which the representative said were 'demonstrably false'. Leto himself has yet to comment on the allegations.

Mauricio Pochettino's United States commit double errors in 2-1 defeat to Turkey

There's a line in the song 'Only Happy When It Rains' when Garbage front-woman Shirley Manson sings 'Pour your misery down on me'. For 80 minutes, rain and misery drenched the United States' men's national team. An early goal put the USMNT ahead of visitors Turkey at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. But the sloppy weather reflected the American's play as consistent mistakes on the backline lead to two cheap goals and a loss. In the first of two warm-up matches before this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup, the USMNT attacked in fits and spurts while constantly being exposed on the backline. It's a performance reflective of the squad that head coach Mauricio Pochettino selected. Multiple USMNT starters are recovering from injuries or tied to clubs competing in the Club World Cup. Others, like Christian Pulisic, asked the USMNT to not be included in this summer's proceedings. The result is a squad made up of only seven members of the 2022 FIFA World Cup team which reached the knockout stages. While the USMNT hasn't sent its best to the Gold Cup in over a decade, the performance in Connecticut showed that the depth in this team is shallow. For Pochettino, his rocky start atop US men's soccer continued on home soil - White smoke popped up right behind the benches the moment the match began - likely Turkish fans who smuggled it in past the security guards. What wasn't smuggled in was fireworks - those were provided just two minutes in by Jack McGlynn, who curled a sublime shot with his left foot to beat Berke Özer for the opening goal of the match. Unfortunately for the US, those were the only real firecrackers they displayed for the rest of the game as the national team was frequently exposed by Turkey. The visitors' first great chance came on the wings as Juventus' Kenan Yildiz was sprung free with a long ball down the left side. He placed a perfectly weighted ball in the middle for Real Madrid's Arda Güler, whose finished betrayed the effort set up for him. A breakthrough did eventually come for the visitors. While the credit goes to Güler, it was essentially an own goal from Johnny Cardoso. The Real Betis midfielder was too careless with the ball just nine yards from his own net and the pass he tried playing to a teammate careened off the Madrid man's feet and into his own net. Not even three whole minutes later, the Turks took advantage of an American backline white-knuckling its way through the pressure. Another breakthrough down the left wing led to an initial chance across that found no one. A second ball hit by Oguz Aydin went into a disorganized USMNT backline. Miles Robinson either made a half-hearted clearance attempt or had the ball take a hard touch off his feet. Either way, it fell to Kerem Akturkoglu - whose shot took an awkward bounce, but crossed the line to make it 2-1 to the visitors. The American backline looked perfectly acceptable in their own attacking buildup - with Max Arfsten often finding space on the US' left flank. But when tasked with holding back the Turks, the USMNT was frequently out-of-position and unable to keep up with the pace of their opposition. Granted, the nation they played against sent their 'A-minus' squad. The attack was all their usual suspects, but other starters were missing elsewhere. For Saturday, the squad Pochettino fielded could be fittingly assessed a grade of 'C-minus'. The 26-man roster named for the Gold Cup is on the 'B-minus/C-plus' borderline, but starters like Tyler Adams, Matt Turner, Brenden Aaronson, and Mark McKenzie didn't play for the first 45 minutes. When Adams and McKenzie eventually did come on at the half, they showed their quality. At the 61st minute, Adams picked up the ball in the box and chipped a ball into Chris Richards - whose header went right at Özer, but was the best US chance in the early stages of the second half. Adams, the USMNT captain at that 2022 World Cup, looked incensed - frustrated with the display put on in front of 34,023 in the muggy weather. The attack often led to nothing. Patrick Agyemang, the Charlotte FC striker playing in his hometown of East Hartford, had chances rarely come his way. McGlynn attempted more strikes, but they never even threatened rattling the net. Saturday's result does need to come with the caveat that this is not the USA's best team. Using this performance as an outlook for the World Cup to come in almost one-year's time would be irresponsible. But this does come at a time where momentum surrounding this team appears to have halted since the hiring of Pochettino. The result does, however, paint a bleak picture for the continental competition beginning next Sunday. Every year, the United States comes into the CONCACAF Gold Cup with expectations of winning - regardless of the caliber of squad they send. Those expectations should not be placed on this team. And that's a problem.

Iceland keeper tells Scotland rookie how to bounce back from errors

The 22-year-old wasn't even meant to be number two to Angus Gunn, but Robby McCrorie's warm-up knock, combined with Gunn's injury six minutes in against Iceland, meant the rookie was thrust in for his senior international bow. And it is difficult to think of many other Scotland debuts that have gone worse. Read more: Seconds after coming on, Slicker gave the ball away while playing out from the back. It eventually came to Andri Gudjohnsen, who curved it into the top corner for Iceland's opener. The stopper then could, and probably should, have done better for the visitors' second and third goals. Elias Olafsson, who watched his fellow keeper's nightmarish evening from between the Iceland sticks, couldn't hide his solace. "It's always tough, especially when you come into the game cold off the bench," he said. "Then, when you come in and make some mistakes, it's hard to get back into the game. I feel empathy for him. "It's not the preparation you want for your debut, to not know you're coming in this early in the game as well. It's difficult. To come into the game and know you're going to play, that's 100% the best thing, in my opinion. It's just about now to go to the hotel, forget about this and move on. "It's not going to be the most fun of nights, but it's about keeping your head up. That's how it is. People see the mistakes. You have to be strong mentally for that. Of course, you hope you make them in training, not in the games. But you can't always. It was not his day today. That's how it is. It was a hard game to come into. I feel it's hard making any debut, coming in when you don't expect to come in. That's how it is when you're a goalkeeper. It's a lonely position, it really is. You can either be a hero or nothing." Friday marked Olafsson's seventh appearance for his country. He plays his football for Danish top-flight outfit FC Midtjylland, and has done so since 2018. Prior to his Hampden visit, the 25-year-old had only won two games when starting for Iceland, both of which came against Liechtenstein, the nation currently ranked 204th in the world by FIFA. The rarity of a victory, therefore, made his trip to Glasgow's southside all the sweeter, even though he expected more from Scotland. "It's a really big one [win], especially with the new things we're trying to build. It worked out pretty well. Apart from the last 20 minutes, where we fell back a little bit trying to keep the ball a little bit, it went well. "It was really nice to play in front of the Scottish fans as well. It was a nice experience. Coming into the game, I felt like we were going to be under more pressure. I think we handled it well, their pressure. We could play out of it. It's nice to be a part of a win and feel like you brought something to the team. It's a fantastic feeling." Part of Olafsson's sympathy for Slicker comes from the fact that he himself once made a high-profile error, albeit not for his country. When Midtjylland travelled to face FCSB in Europa League action last season, he gave the ball straight to the feet of Daniel Birligea almost immediately after the second-half restart. His team lost the game 2-0, yet that's life as a goalkeeper. "I had one [error] in a Europa League game. It's a pretty big mistake from kick-off, but that's how it is. You just have to be honest. It's a mistake by you. 'You just have to be honest and forget about it. It's a part of the game. When we make mistakes, it's very obvious — it leads to a goal. It's a bit of a different position to the outfield players." Next up for Iceland after their eye-catching Scotland victory is another friendly, this time across the water against Northern Ireland in Belfast. Azerbaijan, France and Ukraine then stand in their way of making it to what would only be a second World Cup next year. While an arduous qualifying campaign lies ahead, Olafsson relishes the international scene and the refreshing dynamic it provides in comparison to club football. "It's a different game. It's a little bit like European football. If you make mistakes, you get it in the face. It's a different kind of football from the club level." Slicker will undoubtedly have been down in the dumps after Friday. He had only played one senior match in the entirety of the recent 2024/25 campaign, and it showed. The stopper didn't look sharp, yet going forward, things can surely only improve. His teammates will rally around him, even if Olafsson didn't get the chance to express his sympathy in person. "No," he replied when asked if he spoke to Slicker post-match. "Unfortunately, I was too high. It's a big night for me as well. It's a nice feeling." Scotland travel to Liechtenstein on Monday for the final game before their World Cup qualification quest commences. Whether Clarke will rotate his team after the Iceland loss remains to be seen, although one thing is for sure: victory is a must, or the mood music surrounding the national team will enter into a state of crisis, if it isn't already.
