SUICIDE SQUAD Star Jared Leto Denies Sexual Misconduct Allegations From Multiple Women, Some Underage

Jared Leto will be known best to many of you for his work in Suicide Squad and Morbius. However, the Tron: Ares star is now facing multiple accusations of sexual misconduct from at least 9 young women.

Air Mail has published a report featuring nine women accusing Suicide Squad and Morbius star Jared Leto of sexual misconduct. Some allege that they were underage when the Oscar-winning 30 Seconds to Mars frontman engaged in sexually charged conversations or made forceful advances on them.

You may recall that rumours about Leto's alleged behaviour toward young and underage women date back to at least 2005. At the time, the New York Post published a story that started with "Jared Leto likes 'em young," claiming he'd been caught propositioning teen models at the Maritime Hotel.

Long before he boarded the MCU to helm Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel Studios, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn took to social media to share several risqué comments about Leto's supposed interest in younger women, suggesting it was a well-known secret in Hollywood. 

We'd strongly recommend heading to Air Mail to read this story in its entirety. For now, here are some relevant excerpts (there are some disturbing allegations here that some of you might want to scroll past): 

"[The] women I spoke to say Leto’s alleged past behavior was not a phase but rather part of a long-standing pattern—one that was and continues to be widely known in some circles and, generally, quietly accepted. 'It’s been an open secret for a long time,' one of the women tells me."

Still, over the next three weeks, the calls kept coming. 'Always at one, two, three A.M.,' [a woman who was 16 at the time] remembers. 'And the conversations turned sexual. He’d ask things like, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a dick?'"

"Flattered by the star’s attention, [Laura] La Rue says, she continued to visit Leto sporadically over the next few months. On one occasion, she alleges, he walked out of a room completely naked. 'He just walked out, dick out, like it was normal,' she says. La Rue didn’t know what to think—she was 17 when the incident took place. 'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do,' she says."

"Another woman I spoke to, an actress who began a texting relationship with Leto when she was still under-age, described how visits to his house could quickly turn uncomfortable. She recalls him saying things like 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with f*** you?'"

"When she was 18, the woman says, his sexual overtures escalated. She describes an incident during one visit to Leto’s home when 'he suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating. Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said, 'I want you to spit on it.'"

An unnamed representative for Leto said, "All of the allegations are expressly denied," and similarly denied that the incidents above took place as described. The actor himself has not said anything directly in response to the article. 

The timing of this story will have likely caused Disney a headache as the studio is gearing up to start promoting this October's Tron: Ares. Leto is the movie's lead star and has been front and centre in almost all of the marketing thus far.

Last month, Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz alleged that she was "assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17," and added, "the sheer volume of these cases—and how young some of these girls were, just 14, 15, 16—breaks my heart."

That didn't receive much in the way of coverage at the time, but appears to have opened the floodgates, leading to this fresh wave of allegations.

Ey I don't like the guy myself, he always seems weird and takes me out of the movie everytime I see him in one....but it should remain INNOCENT until proven guilty.

But that doesn't drive clicks.

@UnderBelly - I'm sure they're all lying, right? Take it to with your men's right advocacy group, brother.
UnderBelly
UnderBelly - 6/8/2025, 3:05 PM
@BaddestOptics - They'll have to prove with evidence in front of a judge and jury they're not...

Til then, they're just allegations, brother.

@UnderBelly - do you know what you call a rapist that hasn't been convicted? A rapist. Every one of you people yelling about guilty until proven innocent absolutely has (correctly) called Casey Anthony or OJ a murderer. The way you guys white knight for pedo accusations is wild...

@UnderBelly - the only movie where he doesn't take me out of it is The Thin Red Line, he's in it for a matter seconds - that's probably why
UnderBelly
UnderBelly - 6/8/2025, 4:50 PM
@BaddestOptics - nope. We call them an 'alleged rapist'.

You just want to be mad at others perceptions that don't align with yours.

Go take your pants down, get in front the mirror and be angry for real.

Peace out!

@Colton - I also enjoyed him in Fight club and what they did to his face in his last scene.

@UnderBelly - your medal is in the mail. I guess that means it would be fine for him to be near your kids in the fictional world where you've procreated.

@BaddestOptics - Whipping it out you is not rape. It's just not. Thats just weird. When you hear the stories about forced penetration, then, they'll be talking about rape.

@90caliber - I'm not saying he specifically raped anyone, dip shit.

@BaddestOptics - You're alleging it. you basically are. Stupidity is strong with you like the force is with Luke. Your parents must be disappointed.

@Clintthahamster - Stay in the limelight long enough these sort of stories come out for most leads of Rock bands.

That isn't an excuse or anything but has always been an unfortunate aspect in the music industry and more commonly gets into the public domain about Rockstars than most other genres going all the way back to Elvis.

How aware the dude is about ages, how much drugs and alcohol involved, and severity of acts varies A LOT (Motley crew for instance for a long time had the worst allegations against them), although there were always exceptions who avoided all of that (as in a few who stayed faithfull to a partner they had from prior to getting famous).

Anywho, always found the guy more than a bit creepy IRL, seemed way to much cult leader type to me, as to if he crossed the line into criminal acts no clue and not bothering to way any evidence to form an opinion.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 6/8/2025, 10:24 AM
@Apophis71 - There's no good reason for a 37 year old man to be hitting on a 16 year old girl. The drugs and alcohol excuse doesn't hold much water when we're talking about a decade-plus long pattern of behavior.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 6/8/2025, 12:51 PM
@Clintthahamster - I agree, just stating how/where the rumors and/or accusations related to Rockstars tend to lead in most cases, with some being claimed to have cleaned up their act like Steven Tyler whilst others revealed to be lifelong predators like Garry Glitter. The lead singer of Aerosmith had a HIGHLY questionable and well documented relationship with a then 16yr old Julia Holcomb for three years after gaining legal guardianship of her at the age of 16 during his drug fueled mid to late 20's and Elvis' relationship with Priscilla started when she was 14, never gonna condone anything like that regardless mitigatin circumstances like drug addiction impacting behaviour and morality.

Specific to Leto, always gave me the creeps even whilst thinking some of his band songs were good, and not reading specifics to take a view as cannot be impartial and would auto believe the worst simply due to how I already viewed him prior to any allegations.

*Fingers Crossed* Please recast Skeletor, please recast Skeletor, please recast Skeletor…

@Biggittyb76 - Crimes he commits and who he [frick]s have nothing to do with whether or not he can play Skeletor well. I personally think it's great casting.

If they send him to jail then that could be problematic. But otherwise, one should not affect the other.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/8/2025, 8:37 AM
Unless what you're saying is that you don't want someone who is a sexual predator irl to represent the bony one. But I mean... Skeletor ain't exactly a saint.

It's not like Skeletor never chased around underage kids huh?

@Clintthahamster - sorry if I ruined that episode for you. But seriously, Skeletor is a bit of a creep. He's always chaining up Teela in his dungeon. Leto's perfect for it.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 6/8/2025, 11:20 AM
@ObserverIO - I'm talking less about your GIF choice (though the implication that the GIF above is sexual says more about you than it does about Skeletor, I'm afraid) and more about your assertion that the fact he's an (accused) child sexual predator shouldn't disqualify him from working.

@Clintthahamster - I'm not saying separate the art from the artist (I would never say that, I believe the art and the artist are intrinsically inseparable) but I am saying separate the art from the crime.

It's easy, here's how you do it:

Jared Leto's performance in Dallas Buyer's Club is good.

Jared Leto [frick]ing underage girls is not so good.


Allegedly! Sorry, look at me assuming he did it like everyone else.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 6/8/2025, 11:57 AM
@ObserverIO - I really don't know how to explain myself better than "Preying on underage girls is bad, and maybe someone should suffer some consequences for doing that, personal, professional, and, hopefully, criminal."
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/8/2025, 12:26 PM
@Clintthahamster - You're suggesting that the law need be changed so that free men who have paid for their crimes or have been accused of crimes should be denied the right to employment?
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 6/8/2025, 1:33 PM
@ObserverIO - I'd go along with that. I don't care how much you separate it. Doing whatever with children should be a life sentence. I dont even want people like that in society let alone the big screen.

Now, the punishment should fit the crime so if the guy ran a stop sign, that is a bit different. There seems to be a perversion in Hollywood. There are way too many of these stories. Im not saying everything in the metoo movement is true but I think a lot of it is and those people (if proven to be guilty) should be launched out of society.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - I think we just hear about it in Hollywood more than elsewhere because of their celebrity.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 6/8/2025, 3:06 PM
@ObserverIO - Probably. I don't think its crazy to think rich, powerful people do bad things. Im just making the distinction between paying for your crimes and being allowed back into society/employment depends on the crime. Sexual crimes against woman and children should have only one outcome (if proven true of course)

ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/8/2025, 4:58 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - But then how do they make a living? I mean that's almost like a death sentence.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 6/8/2025, 6:49 PM
@ObserverIO - Im not sure I understand the question, how does who make a living?

Unless you were being sarcastic.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 6/8/2025, 10:16 PM
@ObserverIO - No, I'm suggesting that we should wish wealthy serial sexual predators a very bad life. We should be rooting for terrible people to fail.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/9/2025, 3:49 AM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - How does the ex-criminal (or in this case, person accused of a crime) make a living if they're not allowed to work.

@Clintthahamster - To fail at being sexual predators sure, but not anything else. I'm not gonna root for another human being to fail to make enough of a living to survive.
And I'm certainly not rooting for Jared Leto to be fired from Masters of the Universe because I think he'd be a great Skeletor.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 6/9/2025, 7:03 AM
@ObserverIO - Criminal penalties clearly aren't sufficient to deter this kind of behavior, so society needs to pick up the slack. If these accusations are true, then Leto is a massive piece of shit and I wish nothing but the worst for him in every aspect of life.
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 6/9/2025, 10:05 AM
@Clintthahamster - I agree with what you said earlier. Religion doesn't sheild you from justice. There are crimes that should result in a very, permanent punishment if it were up to me.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/9/2025, 12:58 PM
@Clintthahamster - @CreateNowSlpL8r - Vigilante justice? You're both starting to sound like Batman. Or is that Punisher?
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 6/9/2025, 2:10 PM
@ObserverIO - I never said shit about vigilante justice. I said "Society," which, IMO, does't/shouldn't include vigilantes. What it CAN include is a bunch of people saying "No, actually, I'm not going to give that unrepentant sexual predator a second chance."

I'd also want to clarify that I'm only referring to the unrepentant pieces of shit. If someone owns up to their crimes and says "I [frick]ed up and I'm committed to change," there's room for nuance (though I'd never blame anyone for thinking otherwise.)
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/9/2025, 2:18 PM
@Clintthahamster - I think you put too much stock in society. Most people in any position to employ someone else is probably already a sexual predator. The judges and jury that will rule on this are probably 90% sexual predators. The jailors will probably be 99% sexual predators. That's society.

And that's your daily dose of doomful cynicism from ObserverIO. Have a happy monday.
