Jared Leto accused of sexual misconduct and 'predatory, terrifying' behaviour by nine women
Oscar-winning American actor and Thirty Seconds From Mars frontman Jared Leto has been accused of sexual misconduct by nine women. In a report published by Air Mail, multiple women accused the 53-year-old star of Fight Club, Requiem For A Dream, Dallas Buyers Club and Suicide Squad of inappropriate behaviour. The allegations date back to the early 2000s, with one woman calling it 'an open secret' that he texted sexual remarks to teenage models. Allegations against Leto emerged last month, when DJ Allie Teilz shared an old Facebook post, written in 2012, on her Instagram Story. 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat. I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17,' she wrote. In separate story, she added: 'He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' One woman told the publication that in 2006, when she was 16-years-old, Leto approached her outside a Los Angeles café. She claimed Leto was sat with fellow actor Ashley Olsen – who was then 19 – and he had grabbed her arm. 'I looked down and it was Jared Leto,' she 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?' 'And the conversations turned sexual,' she continued. 'He'd ask things like: 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a dick?'' Model Laura La Rue came forward with similar claims, 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, then reportedly asked for her number. The two began an email correspondence, which resulted in her visiting Leto's home in April 2009, the outlet alleges. '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.' She described a separate visit when she was 17 years old, where she alleged Leto walked out of a room completely naked. 'He just walked out, dick out, like it was normal… I thought maybe this was just what adult men do,' she said. Another woman who spoke to the outlet said that she and Leto began texting while she was still underage. She alleged he would ask her inappropriate questions during her visits to his house, including 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with fuck you?' The woman alleged that once, when she was 18, Leto had 'suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating'. She told Air Mail: 'He walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said: 'I want you to spit on it.'' A representative of Leto has 'expressly denied' the multiple accusations reported in the Air Mail exposé, saying the claims were 'demonstrably false'. This is not the first time that Leto's behaviour has been questioned and called out. Similar claims were made in 2005, when The New York Post shared a story with the opening line: 'Jared Leto likes 'em young' after he had been spotted with Olsen and Lindsay Lohan. At the time, sources told the publication he had been 'aggressively pursuing many of the teen models shacked up at the Maritime Hotel'. In 2018, Metro reported on a Twitter post made by Dylan Sprouse, who is married to model Barbara Palvin. The post read: 'Yo @JaredLeto now that you've slid into the DMs of every female model aged 18–25, what would you say your success rate is?' Guardians Of The Galaxy and Superman director James Gunn replied to Sprouse's tweet at the time, saying: 'He starts at 18 on the internet?'

Jared Leto accused of sexual misconduct by MULTIPLE women... and several were allegedly minors
Jared Leto is facing allegations from nine women of inappropriate behavior, including with teenage girls. The frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars and star of films including House Of Gucci and Suicide Squad, 53, is alleged to have inflicted the behavior on them over the course of nearly two decades, and the accusations involve women who say they were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents. According to an exposé published by Air Mail, the claims, which have apparently circulated in Hollywood for years, have now been brought into the open, with one woman stating to the outlet: 'It's been an open secret for a long time.' Reps for Leto haven't yet responded to request for comment, but a representative denied all of the women's claims in a statement to Air Mail. The accusations came to light after Los Angeles–based DJ Allie Teilz, 30, re-shared a 2012 Facebook post on her Instagram Stories, in which she alleged Leto — who was previously called out by other Hollywood stars for being 'full of himself' — assaulted her when she was 17. 'You're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat,' she claimed. 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.' The accusations in a story by Air Mail include allegations of sexual assault, while others claim Leto made unwanted sexual advances at them, even after he allegedly knew they were underage; pictured in September 2024 in Paris She further alleged that Leto 'knew' her age but 'didn't care,' describing his actions as 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' A second woman, whose name was not revealed, told the publication that Leto approached her in 2006 when she was 16 at Urth Caffé in Los Angeles. At the time, he was allegedly visiting the popular cafe with Ashley Olsen, whom he had been rumored to be in a relationship with at the time. 'I looked down and it was Jared Leto. We had a quick conversation, and he got my number,' she claimed. The woman alleged that he called her days later, adding: '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?' The woman alleged their late-night conversations 'turned sexual,' and she claimed that Leto asked questions including, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend?' and 'Have you ever sucked a d***?' Model Laura La Rue, 33, also alleged that she met Leto in 2008, when she was 16 and he was 36, at a Yes! on Prop Two animal rights benefit. 'He asked how old I was,' she alleged. 'I said, "I'm 16. How old are you?"' La Rue claimed to Air Mail that Leto still asked for her number despite knowing her age, and she said he later invited her to his Los Angeles home, where he was 'flirting' and 'teasing [her] the whole time [she] was there.' She even alleged that Leto walked into a room she was in while completely naked at one point, as if 'it was normal.' 'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do,' La Rue added. Leto's representative denied all of the women's accounts in a statement to Air Mail: '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.' But La Rue denied applying for such a role. Sources quoted in the article described parties at Leto's Los Angeles home and said they had a ratio of 60 'very young women to four or five men,' and they claimed that guests were encouraged to go skinny dipping at the events. Jared's publicist stated that the actor 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.' A fourth woman who went nameless claimed she met Leto at an 18-plus club when she was 20. However, it was his assistant who allegedly approached her to ask for her phone number. She said they 'hook[ed] up a little' while still at the club, and she alleged that she subsequently spent time at his home on multiple occasions, but she described Leto as being 'weird.' 'I know some people are kinky, and that's fine,' she said, before adding that 'his kind of kink ... just didn't feel right.' Another unnamed accuser said she began a flirtatious back-and-forth over text messages with Leto when she was still a minor. During her alleged visits to his home, he would ask her sexual questions, including, 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with f*** you?' She said their relationship escalated after she turned 18, and Leto allegedly 'pulled his penis out and started masturbating' during a subsequent visit to his home. She claimed that the Blade Runner 2049 actor put her hand on his penis and told her, 'I want you to spit on it.' In 2016, Leto was reported to have sent his Suicide Squad costars used condoms as a gift that might have been sent by his character in the film, the Joker. But Leto subsequently denied that part of the report in a 2017 SiriusXM interview. 'There were some things that were mentioned about gifts and the fact that I was giving used condoms to people, which was not true. It was not true,' he said. However, the actor did admit to sending them gifts that were 'funny,' 'absurd or outrageous.' In a 2016 interview with E! Online, his costar Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who played Killer Croc, said that Leto had sent him 'sticky Playboy magazines' as part of his character's gift, and he also allegedly sent the entire cast a 'dead pig.' 'That was a good gift because it had the effect of unifying us as a group because then it became us against him,' Akinnuoye-Agbaje said. 'We sent the messenger back with the dead pig and our own personalized message. It got the ball rolling.'

Jared Leto denies sexual misconduct after facing accusations from multiple women
Jared Leto has been accused of sexual misconduct by nine women in a lengthy exposé published by Air Mail on Friday. A representative for Leto has denied the accusations. Allegations against the Thirty Seconds to Mars singer, 53, resurfaced last month when Los Angeles DJ Allie Teilz reshared a Facebook post she made in 2012 on her Instagram Story. 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat. I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17,' she wrote. 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17,' she wrote in another Story. 'He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' The Independent has contacted Leto's representatives for comment. One of the women in the Air Mail article claims, 'it's been an open secret for a long time' that Leto is known for texting teenage models. Another said she was 16 when Leto approached her and got her number in 2006. She says the actor began calling her in the middle of the night and making sexual remarks. In response, a representative for the star said that Leto has been sober for more than 35 years after the accuser speculated that he was on drugs during the calls. Leto 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years,' said the spokesperson. Laura La Rue, a model who was also 16 when she said she met Leto, claimed she had a similar interaction after Leto invited her to visit him in his music studio. 'Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate,' Leto's representative told Air Mail, '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.' La Rue reportedly denied ever applying to work as Leto's personal assistant. A fourth woman, who said she began a texting relationship with Leto when she was still underage, said his advances ramped up when she turned 18. She claims that during a subsequent visit to Leto's house, he began masturbating in front of her. 'All of the allegations are expressly denied,' Leto's representative said in response. Leto rose to fame in the 1990s as Jordan Catalano on the cult TV series My So-Called Life before earning critical acclaim for transformative roles in Requiem for a Dream (2000), Dallas Buyers Club (2013), and Suicide Squad (2016). Alongside his acting career, he co-founded Thirty Seconds to Mars in 1998, achieving global success with hits like 'The Kill (Bury Me)' and 'Kings and Queens.' Over the years, Leto has become well known for his commitment to method acting. For his role as the Joker in Suicide Squad, he insisted on being addressed as 'Mister J' and told E! that he tried to 'create an element of spontaneity' on the set by sending strange presents such as 'used condoms' and 'anal beads' to the cast, which included Cara Delavigne and Margot Robbie. However, he later said he was just joking when he made the claims publicly in 2016. '99.9 per cent of what people read is bulls***. There were no used condoms,' he said. In 2018, Metro reported on a Twitter post by The Suite Life of Zack & Cody star Dylan Sprouse that read: 'Yo @JaredLeto now that you've slid into the DMs of every female model aged 18–25, what would you say your success rate is?' Sprouse, 32, is married to 31-year-old Hungarian model Barbara Palvin. Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn replied to Sprouse's tweet, saying: 'He starts at 18 on the internet?'

Jared Leto accused by 9 women of inappropriate behaviour, hitting on teens: ‘Traumatised'
Jared Leto has been accused by nine women of engaging in inappropriate behaviour and flirting with underage women. 'It's been an open secret for a long time,' one of the women claimed in a bombshell Air Mail exposé published Saturday. Leto's alleged bad behaviour was brought to light partly due to a 2012 Facebook post Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz re-shared via her Instagram Stories recently. 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage … In a kilt. And a snow hat,' she wrote. She then claimed, 'I was assaulted and traumatised by this creep when I was 17.' Teilz further alleged that the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman 'knew' her age but 'didn't care,' adding, 'What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' A second woman claimed Leto approached her when she was 16 at Urth Caffé in 2006. The House of Gucci actor had reportedly been visiting the popular LA coffee spot with Ashley Olsen, whom he was rumoured to be dating at the time. The second accuser alleged Leto grabbed her arm after she tried to get up to find the bathroom. 'I looked down and it was Jared Leto,' she told Air Mail. 'We had a quick conversation, and he got my number.' She claimed the Suicide Squad star called her a few days after their first interaction. '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?' the anonymous woman recalled. Leto's publicist told Air Mail in response that the rocker, now 53, 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.' The rep did not immediately return Page Six's request for comment. The second woman further claimed Leto made inappropriate advances toward her throughout the course of their interactions, noting that their late-night conversations 'turned sexual.' 'He'd ask things like, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a d**k?'' she claimed. Model Laura La Rue also came forward to share a similar experience she allegedly had with Leto in 2008 when she was also just 16 years old and he was 36. She told Air Mail she met the Beautiful Lie singer at a Yes! on Prop Two animal rights benefit event at the time. 'He asked how old I was. I said, 'I'm 16. How old are you?,'' La Rue claimed, noting that the musician allegedly still asked for her number despite her being underage. She shared she later went to visit his Los Angeles home in April 2009 and that he was allegedly 'flirting' with her and 'teasing [her] the whole time [she] was there.' Leto's rep denied La Rue's account to Air Mail, claiming, '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.' La Rue denied to the outlet that she ever applied for a personal assistant role with Leto. A fourth woman claimed she met the Dallas Buyers Club star at an 18-plus club, where she was allegedly approached by his assistant, who asked for her number. She was 20 years old at the time. 'We ended up hooking up a little at the club,' she recalled, further alleging that they 'hung out a few times at his house, but he was weird.' She added, 'Look, I know some people are kinky, and that's fine. But his kind of kink – it just didn't feel right.' A fifth accuser claimed Leto first began a flirty texting relationship with her when she was still underage, as well. However, she noted that their fling allegedly escalated after she turned 18. During one of her visits to his home, the woman alleged the musician 'pulled his penis out and started masturbating.' She further claimed, 'Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said, 'I want you to spit on it.'' In the shocking piece, Leto was also accused of pushing the boundaries at his Los Angeles parties by allegedly recruiting young women to attend. With a ratio of an estimated 60 'very young women to four or five men,' a source claimed that the focus of the events was to somehow get girls to take their clothes off and skinny dip into the movie star's pool. A rep for Leto 'expressly denied' all of the allegations levelled against him in the outlet's report.

Jared Leto Denies Sexual Misconduct Allegations After Nine Women Come Forward in New Exposé
Jared Leto is facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct from nine women, according to a bombshell exposé published Friday by Air Mail. The claims span years and include accusations from women who say they were underage at the time of their encounters with the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman. A representative for Leto has denied all allegations. The accusations recently resurfaced after Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz reposted an old Facebook status to her Instagram Story, writing: 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat.' She added: 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.' Teilz followed up with a second post, stating: 'He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' Among the other accounts shared in Air Mail, one woman said that 'it's been an open secret for a long time' that Leto was known to text teenage models. Another alleged that she was just 16 when she met him in 2006. According to her, Leto obtained her phone number and began calling her late at night, making sexual comments. When the woman speculated he may have been using drugs at the time, a spokesperson for Leto pushed back, saying: 'He has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.' Laura La Rue, a model who also said she was 16 when she first encountered Leto, described a similar experience. She claimed he invited her to visit him at his music studio. In response, Leto's team said: 'Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate,' and further stated 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.' According to Air Mail, La Rue denied ever applying for the job. Another accuser told the publication she began texting with Leto while still underage, and that his behavior intensified after she turned 18. She claimed that during a visit to his home, he began masturbating in front of her. 'All of the allegations are expressly denied,' Leto's representative told Air Mail. Leto rose to fame in the mid-1990s as Jordan Catalano on the cult hit My So-Called Life before earning accolades for roles in Requiem for a Dream (2000), Dallas Buyers Club (2013), and Suicide Squad (2016). Outside of acting, he's found success as the frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars, which he co-founded with his brother in 1998. Known for his commitment to method acting, Leto sparked controversy with his approach to playing the Joker in Suicide Squad. He once told E! he tried to 'create an element of spontaneity' on set by sending castmates strange items—including 'used condoms' and 'anal beads.' The cast included Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne. However, Leto later walked back those comments in 2016, clarifying: '99.9 per cent of what people read is bulls*. There were no used condoms.' The scrutiny around Leto's behavior has circulated online for years. In 2018, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody actor Dylan Sprouse tweeted: 'Yo @JaredLeto now that you've slid into the DMs of every female model aged 18–25, what would you say your success rate is?' James Gunn, director of Guardians of the Galaxy, replied with a jab of his own: 'He starts at 18 on the internet?'
