Jared Leto has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
Jared Leto is facing a wave of disturbing allegations after Air Mail published a report on Saturday, featuring claims from nine women accusing the actor and ‘Thirty Seconds to Mars’ frontman of sexual misconduct, including incidents involving minors.
“It’s been an open secret for a long time,” one anonymous woman told the outlet.
The allegations include Leto asking sexual questions to a 16-year-old, walking out nude in front of a 17-year-old, and pleasuring himself before forcing an 18-year-old to touch him.
Model Laura La Rue, who met Leto at 16, claims he later walked out nude in front of her when she was 17. A rep for Leto denies any wrongdoing and claims La Rue later applied to be his personal assistant.
Another woman alleged Leto repeatedly called her late at night when she was 16, making explicit comments and asking, “Have you ever sucked a d—?” The woman’s mother reportedly overheard one of the calls.
One accuser said that at 18, Leto exposed himself and demanded she spit on him, while another described parties at his home in the 2000s that allegedly focused on getting girls to skinny dip.
Leto’s reps maintain he has been sober for over 35 years and deny the claims.
