Jared Leto Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Nine Women, Denies Allegations
Nine women have accused Jared Leto of inappropriate behavior and sexual misconduct.
In an
Air Mail
story published over the weekend, nine women, the majority of whom are anonymous, gave interviews that outlined a pattern of inappropriate and predatory behavior by the 53-year-old actor and musician. Some say they were underage at the time they came in contact with Leto, who for decades has fronted the popular rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars.
The women allege a longstanding pattern of such behavior.
'It's been an open secret for a long time,' an anonymous woman told the outlet.
Among the allegations, Leto is accused of asking sexual questions to a 16-year-old girl, walking out of a room nude in front of a 17-year-old girl and exposing himself and fapping before putting an 18-year-old's hand "on him."
One of the sources is a model named Laura La Rue who claims that she met Leto at an animal rights benefit in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2008.
She was 16 years old at the time to Leto's 36.
La Rue claims Leto was observing her so intensely that her mother noticed. After asking how old she was, Leto also allegedly asked for her telephone number, which she provided out of a believe that he would be good for her burgeoning modeling career.
Months later, she visited him at his home. 'I remember him teasing me the whole time I was there. He was flirting with me. He'd lean in close, then pull away, like it was a game,' she told Air Mail.
She continued to visit Leto for months, and during one of those visits, Leto appeared from a room nude. 'He just walked out, dick out, like it was normal,' said La Rue, who was 17 at the time.
The Oscar winning actor's rep told Air Mail that La Rue applied to work as Leto's personal assistant — a claim the model denies — and that further underscores 'the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.'
Another source, an anonymous actress, told Air Mail that she met Leto when she was underage though she visited his house. After she turned 18, the visits turned sexual.
The woman claims that Leto exposed himself and fapped before grabbing her hand and put it on him. Leto's rep shot down the allegations: 'All of the allegations are expressly denied.'
The piece also published a viral Twitter post shared by actor Dylan Sprouse in 2018. It reads: 'Yo Jared Leto, now that you've slid into the DMs of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?' Filmmaker and DC chief James Gunn replied: 'He starts at 18 on the internet?'.
Leto next stars in Disney's blockbuster "Tron: Ares."

Joanna Calo Exits "The Perfect Couple" Season 2 As Writer
Yara Sameh Netflix is going back to the drawing board on a potential second season of hit limited series "The Perfect Couple". The giant streamer has been developing a followup installment based on another Nantucket-set book by best-selling "The Perfect Couple" author Elin Hilderbrand, the 2024 novel "Swan Song", with The Bear executive producer/co-showrunner Joanna Calo as writer/showrunner. Calo has now exited the project. There is no new writer attached yet to Swan Song, which remains in early development. In :Swan Song," a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons who throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms. Jenna Lamia was writer, executive producer and showrunner on The Perfect Couple, starring and executive produced by Nicole Kidman and directed and executive produced by Susanne Bier. Kidman and Bier are back as executive producers on the prospective Season 2 alongside fellow The Perfect Couple EPs Gail Berman, Shawn Levy, Per Saari and Hend Baghdady. The limited series, which also starred Liev Schreiber, Eve Hewson, Billy Howle, Meghann Fahy, Donna Lynne Champlin, Jack Reynor, Michael Beach, Ishaan Khatter, Sam Nivola, Mia Isaac, and Dakota Fanning, debuted September 5, 2024 and spent six weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10 for English-language series, the first two at #1 with more than 20M views each. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Thailand Selects Cannes Prize Winner "A Useful Ghost" for Oscar Race
Yara Sameh Thailand has selected 'A Useful Ghost' (Pee Chai Dai Ka) as its submission for the international feature film category at the 98th Academy Awards. Directed by debutant Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, 'A Useful Ghost' follows March, who is mourning his wife Nat after she dies from dust pollution. When her spirit returns by possessing a vacuum cleaner, their unconventional human-ghost relationship faces resistance from his family. To prove her worth and their love, Nat offers to cleanse a factory haunted by the ghost of a worker whose death shut down operations. The film ingeniously reimagines the ghost story as a satirical romantic comedy, a deliberate departure from Thailand's renowned horror cinema traditions. It debuted at the Cannes Critics' Week earlier this year, where it won the grand prize. The film addresses pressing environmental concerns in Thailand, particularly dust pollution, which has become a severe issue over the past decade. 'We have dust pollution every winter. People will start complaining about the dust quality in the neighborhood, especially in Bangkok and in the north,' Boonbunchachoke said in an interview with Variety . The film's Thai title carries a dual meaning in local slang, where 'dust' also refers to 'people with no power.' The selection committee, composed of industry professionals including producers, directors, cinema operators, film distributors and media representatives, chose the title from a field of 57 eligible Thai films released between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. Thailand has been submitting to the category since 1984 but has yet to secure a nomination. Last year's entry, Pat Boonnitipat's hit film 'How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies,' was shortlisted. The Oscar international feature shortlist will be announced on December 16 and the final five nominees will be announced on January 22. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
