Hollywood actor and musician Jared Leto, known for his roles in "House of Gucci" and "Suicide Squad," is facing serious allegations from nine women who claim he engaged in inappropriate behavior—including incidents involving underage girls—over nearly two decades.
The 53-year-old frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars has long been the subject of whispered rumors in Hollywood, but a recent exposé by Air Mail has brought these claims into the public eye. One woman told the outlet, "It's been an open secret for a long time."
The accusations resurfaced after Los Angeles DJ Allie Teilz, now 30, reposted a 2012 Facebook statement on her Instagram Stories. In it, she alleged that Leto assaulted her when she was just 17 years old. She wrote: "You're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat." Teilz described the encounter as "predatory, terrifying and unacceptable," claiming he was aware of her age but proceeded regardless.
A second anonymous accuser shared with Air Mail that she met Leto at Urth Caffe in Los Angeles when she was only 16. She said he initiated contact and later called her with what she described as a "weirdest, grossest voice." Their conversations allegedly turned sexual quickly, with Leto asking invasive personal questions.
Model Laura La Rue also came forward with claims that she met Leto at an animal rights benefit when she was just 16—while he was 36. Despite knowing her age, La Rue alleges he pursued further contact and invited her to his home where his behavior reportedly included persistent flirting.
Leto's representatives have denied all allegations made by La Rue and others. They stated that their communications contained nothing inappropriate and even pointed out that La Rue later sought employment as his assistant—a claim which La Rue disputes.
Additional women have spoken out about similar experiences involving parties at Leto’s residence where attendees were allegedly encouraged to engage in questionable activities. His publicist countered these claims by emphasizing that the actor has remained sober for over three decades.
