Jared Leto, Academy Award-winning actor and frontman of the rock band 30 Seconds To Mars, is facing multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including from some women who say they were underage at the time.

Air Mail published a story Saturday (June 7) following interviews with nine women who say they experienced Leto behaving inappropriately toward them. Among other accusations, the Suicide Squad actor, 53, allegedly asked a 16-year-old girl “sexual questions” and walked out of a room nude in front of a 17-year-old girl.
Los Angeles–based D.J. and music producer Allie Teilz, who accused Leto in 2012 of trying to “force himself” on her backstage at an event, has called him “Hollywood’s most persistent predator in a kilt.” Last month, Teilz reposted a Facebook status from 2012 on her Instagram Stories, writing that she was just 17 when the House of Gucci actor “assaulted and traumatized” her.

Teilz’s post quickly went viral, prompting responses from many women who say they had similar encounters with Leto. A representative for the actor and musician called Teilz’s claims “demonstrably false,” according to AirMail.

Jared Leto Has Denied All Allegations
Through a representative, Jared Leto “expressly denied” all accusations in a statement to AirMail.
Whispers of impropriety began in 2005, when the New York Post published an item alleging that the My So-Called Life actor, then 33, had a pattern of “hitting on” teenage models staying at New York City’s Maritime Hotel. A representative for Leto called the New York Post item “recycled tabloid fodder and demonstrably false, according to AirMail.
However, the women who came forward claim that this behavior not only happened, but continued over a period of 20 years. “It’s been an open secret for a long time,” an anonymous woman told AirMail.
Leto will star as Ares in the upcoming film Tron: Ares. He will also play Skeletor in the 2026 film Masters of the Universe.
