‘Sex pest' Jared Leto denies claims of lewd behaviour made against him by 9 women
Nine women have accused actor and singer Jared Leto of inappropriate behaviour.
The women allege that his behaviour is 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable', according to an expose by Air Mail.
Jared (53) is accused of engaging in inappropriate behaviour over the years, including flirting with teenagers.
One of his alleged victims was just 16 years old when Jared allegedly approached her and grabbed her by the arm while she was outside a café in Los Angeles.
'We had a quick conversation, and he got my number,' she said.
She added that Jared 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 Jared told her he was hosting a party at his house that evening and invited her to it.
The woman declined, saying, 'I didn't even have a driver's licence.'
Nevertheless, she said, Jared 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 d***?'' she told the publication.

Another woman, model Laura La Rue, says she met Jared at an animal rights benefit when she was 16. They started texting and she would visit his studio. Laura claims Jared once walked into a room nude 'like it was normal' when she was 17.
'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do,' she said.
Another victim, who was underage when she first started chatting to Jared, alleged that he would ask inappropriate questions when she'd go to his house, such as, 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with f*** you?'
She said that when she turned 18, the actor masturbated in front of her at his house and forced her to touch him.
This is not the first time Jared has faced accusations of inappropriate behaviour.
In 2012, Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz wrote about her encounter with him on Facebook, saying, 'You're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage . . . In a kilt. And a snow hat.'
The DJ recently wrote on her Instagram stories, 'I was assaulted and traumatised by this creep when I was 17 . . . He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.'
The actor has denied the accusations against him, and insists Allie was lying.
He added that nothing about his conversation with Laura was inappropriate, and a spokesperson's statement said that '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. All of the allegations are expressly denied.'

Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw trashes Aaron Rodgers, tells him to 'stay in California'
The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to go through organized team activities this week without Aaron Rodgers on their roster. If Terry Bradshaw had his way, it'd stay like that. The Steelers legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer left no doubt about his feelings on the Steelers' free agency dance with Rodgers during a recent radio interview. Advertisement "That's a joke," Bradshaw said on 103.7 The Buzz's "Morning Mayhem" show about Rodgers potentially joining the Steelers. "That is, just to me, a joke." Rodgers said he communicated with the Steelers front office after he became a free agent this offseason. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback hasn't made a commitment for a 21st season, though he hasn't announced his retirement, either. He cited his age, a serious relationship and people in his inner circle going through challenging times as reasons for not being ready to commit to a team. The Steelers organization has said it's willing to be patient with the 41-year-old Rodgers. But the clock is ticking as the preparations for the 2025 season continue with OTAs and a mandatory minicamp next week. Terry Bradshaw talks with Aaron Rodgers on stage after the Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6, 2011. Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowl titles with the Pittsburgh Steelers, doesn't want Rodgers anywhere near his old team. Rodgers and the Steelers have been in talks this offseason but the four-time NFL MVP remains a free agent. Rodgers, though, recently hinted at playing for the Steelers during a recent podcast and his former head coach in Green Bay is certain it will happen. Advertisement The 76-year-old Bradshaw, who led the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories in the 1970s, doesn't want to see Rodgers in black and gold. "What are you going to bring him in for one year?" Bradshaw questioned on the radio show. "Are you kidding me? No, man, that guy needs to stay in California, go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there." Rodgers lives in Malibu, California, in the offseason. Bradshaw also is likely alluding to Rodgers' off-the-field activities in using ayahuasca in Peru — the quarterback has been open about taking the psychedelic and is an advocate for it. He also took part in a darkness retreat in a secluded cabin in a forested region in Oregon two years ago when he was deciding whether he wanted to continue playing football. Advertisement Bradshaw isn't the only ex-Steelers to blast Rodgers this offseason. Ryan Clark, who played for the Steelers from 2006 to 2013, felt Rodgers was holding the team hostage by not making a decision. "It makes me sick, to be honest," Clark said April 15 on ESPN morning sports talk show "Get Up." Aaron Rodgers trending: Danica Patrick claims her relationship with quarterback was 'emotionally abusive' that wore her 'down to nothing' Will Aaron Rodgers play on the Steelers? Rodgers to the Steelers certainly appears likely. The Steelers unloaded their starting quarterbacks from last season and enter offseason activities with 29-year-old Mason Rudolph, who has 18 starts in seven seasons, and Ohio State rookie Will Howard, whom Pittsburgh selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, as their top two QBs. Advertisement Asked about the Chicago Bears during a recent live podcast appearance in Austin, Texas, Rodgers brought up a team — without mentioning the name — that will play in the Windy City in 2025. "I believe there's a team that might play in Chicago this year on a road trip," Rodgers said. "I don't know. I'll have to check it out." The Steelers play the Bears on Sunday, Nov. 23, at Soldier Field. Steelers schedule The Steelers continue OTAs this week before holding a three-day mandatory minicamp June 10-12. While Rodgers hasn't been at OTAs, he held a highly publicized throwing session on the campus of UCLA with new Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf in late March. Advertisement Whether that was another clue to Rodgers' plans or just a red herring remains to be seen.

Dua Lipa confirms engagement to actor Callum Turner
Dua Lipa casually confirmed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner, after months of speculation. The 29-year-old Grammy winner confirmed in British Vogue's July cover story, 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting.' The stars, who've been linked since January 2024, were introduced by the cofounder of London's The River Cafe and crossed paths again a year later in Los Angeles. The 'Houdini' pop star says they had many ''Sliding Doors' moments,' referring to the 1998 romantic comedy starring Gwyneth Paltrow, including their 'many' mutual friends. Currently, Lipa and the 'Masters of the Air' actor, 35, are 'just enjoying' their engagement. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting,' she explained. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?' … This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling.' The 'Levitating' singer added that, while she'd 'love to have kids one day,' scheduling comes into play with family planning as well as wedding preparation. 'It's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time — how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take,' said Lipa. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens.' The 'Levitating' singer also showed off her bespoke engagement ring, which she's 'obsessed with.' 'It's so me,' said Lipa. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Lipa first showed off her ring on Christmas Eve in an Instagram carousel. Though she's remained mum on the pending nuptials till now, she regularly posts Turner on her feed. Earlier this week, she shared another carousel that opens with a photo of Turner kissing her head as she beams in his arms, captioned: 'That's amoreeee…'

Self-Proclaimed 'Best Friend' Of Barron Trump Brags About Calling ICE On Popular TikToker
MAGA Gen-Z influencer Bo Loudon says he was responsible for TikTok's most-followed creator, Khaby Lame, getting detained by Immigration and Customs enforcement, and he's threatening to go after other immigrants. 'We don't want celebrities using their status to abuse our system and take advantage of the things that we don't have access to,' Loudon, 18, said on Fox News. 'I can't say I'm done with Khaby; if there's other celebrities that are not in this country legally, I will investigate it and I will happily go after them as well. So it's not going to stop here, I don't think.' If you are in this country illegally, I will gladly work with President Trump's amazingly FAST administration to have you the Democrats, the Trump administration actually believes no one is above the law. — Bo Loudon (@BoLoudon) June 12, 2025 Lame, whose full name is Serigne Khabane Lame, 25, is an Italian citizen who was born in Senegal. He was placed in detention on June 6 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for immigration violations, an ICE spokesperson told HuffPost. ICE said Lame had overstayed the terms of his visa and voluntarily departed from the U.S. The agency did not confirm whether Loudon had played any part in Lame's detention, but the MAGA influencer went on X last week to tell his millions of followers that he had 'reported' the influencer as an 'illegal alien.' 'I want to look out for the little guys, the people that follow our laws, respect our country, appreciate it and its values and don't abuse the system,' Loudon told Dylan Page, known on TikTok as 'News Daddy,' on Wednesday's episode of Page's podcast. Lame, who once lived in a modest apartment in a small industrial town in Italy, rose to fame in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when he turned to content-creating after losing his factory job, The New York Times reported in 2021. 'It's my face and my expressions which make people laugh,' Lame said. Lame, who had lived in Italy since age 1, said at the time that he was having trouble obtaining Italian citizenship due to the country's laws, and that his Senegalese passport made it tough to obtain a U.S. visa. 'I'm not a mayor, I'm no one. I can't change the laws,' Lame told the Times. 'Maybe I can change it with the popularity. With my influence,' he added with a smile. Lame became an Italian citizen in 2022. This year, he attended the Met Gala in New York City. Loudon is the son of former Missouri state Sen. John Loudon and former Women for Trump co-chair Dr. Gina Loudon, The Independent reports. He, much like other pro-Trump influencers, has gained a huge following of young conservative men. On Instagram, Loudon pinned a photo of himself with President Donald Trump and his son Barron, captioning it, 'Best Friend, Best President.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bo Loudon🇺🇸🥂 (@boloudon) On Page's podcast, the MAGA influencer said he first discovered Lame had overstayed his visa through mutual friends and business partners and said he 'called some buddies in the administration' to quickly have the TikToker detained. 'I wish him the best of luck. I hope he's able to come back as a law-abiding citizen,' Loudon said.
