A recent exposé published by Air Mail details allegations of sexual misconduct against Jared Leto, with nine women coming forward with their accounts. Representatives for the actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman have strongly denied the claims.
The report, released by the Graydon Carter-backed weekly newsletter, includes allegations that several women were underage when Leto initiated sexually charged conversations or made aggressive advances. The article cites events dating back to 2005, when the New York Post published an article titled "Jared Leto likes 'em young."
One woman interviewed by Elena Clavarino described Leto requesting her phone number when she was 16, followed by sexually suggestive conversations. Model Laura La Rue shared a similar experience, recalling Leto asking her age when she was 16 and he was 36. Another woman recounted a disturbing encounter at a club when she was 20.
The actor allegedly hosted parties in 2007 and 2008 where young women were “recruited.” DJ Allie Teilz shared a Facebook status from 2012, claiming Leto tried to force himself on her backstage. She also stated she was assaulted and traumatized by the actor when she was 17.
Teilz noted that Leto's behavior has been concerning for nearly three decades, and she emphasized the need to protect young women. She highlighted the young ages of some victims, stating that his actions are inexcusable. The allegations continue to surface, raising questions about the actor's conduct.
