Jared Leto Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations from Multiple Women

June 8, 2025: On Saturday, June 7, Air Mail published a story following interviews with nine women who claim that the 53-year-old actor and musician behaved inappropriately toward them, some while they were underage. The women allege a longstanding pattern of such behavior.

“It’s been an open secret for a long time,” an anonymous woman told the outlet.

Among the allegations, Leto is accused of asking sexual questions to a 16-year-old girl, walking out of a room nude in front of a 17-year-old girl and exposing himself and masturbating before putting an 18-year-old’s hand “on him.”

In a statement to Air Mail, a representative for the Thirty Seconds to Mars band member “expressly” denied all allegations. A representative for Leto did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The renewed focus began when Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz shared a past Facebook post from 2012 on her Instagram Stories. In the post, she wrote, “You’re [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat. I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.” She further alleged that the actor knew her age but ignored it, describing his behaviour as “predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”

Model Laura La Rue also came forward, saying she met Leto in 2008 when she was 16 and he was 36. “He asked how old I was. I said, ‘I’m 16. How old are you?’” she shared with Air Mail. Laura claimed that Leto asked for her number despite knowing her age. She said she visited his Los Angeles home in 2009 and recalled that he behaved in a way that made her uncomfortable.

In response to Laura’s story, Leto’s representative told Air Mail, “Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms. La Rue later applied to work as Mr. Leto’s personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.” Laura has denied applying for the role.

Another woman, who claims she was underage when she began texting Leto, alleged that the actor would ask her uncomfortable questions during visits to his home and that during one visit when she was 18, “he suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating.”

“Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him,” the woman alleged, per Air Mail. “He leaned in and said, ‘I want you to spit on it.’ ”

A representative for Leto told the outlet that her “allegations are demonstrably false.”
