Jared Leto, the 53-year-old Oscar winner, has recently been accused of “sexual impropriety” by multiple women. These allegations were brought to light in a lengthy exposĂ© published by AirMail on June 7th. Despite the accusations, Leto has denied all claims of inappropriate behavior towards younger women over the years.
According to the article, it has been suggested that Leto’s alleged misconduct has been an open secret for a significant amount of time, indicating a pattern of abuse. One woman recounted an encounter with Leto when she was just 16 years old, claiming that he asked for her phone number during a chance meeting at a cafĂ© in Los Angeles. Subsequent interactions allegedly turned more explicit, with Leto reportedly making sexual inquiries and invitations.
Model Laura La Rue also shared her experience with Leto, stating that she was 16 when he allegedly began texting her and inviting her to his house. La Rue claimed that Leto’s behavior was flirtatious and teasing, creating a discomforting dynamic between them.
Additionally, another woman detailed an incident where Leto walked into a room completely naked in front of her when she was only 17 years old. These accounts paint a troubling picture of Leto’s alleged behavior towards young women.
Despite the allegations, Leto’s representative has refuted claims of sending inappropriate messages and has accused one of the accusers of seeking a job as his personal assistant. Leto himself has denied all accusations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior.
It is important to note that Leto has not been found guilty of any criminal charges related to these allegations. However, the seriousness of the accusations should not be dismissed, and it is crucial to support and believe individuals who come forward with their stories of sexual assault or harassment.
