Actor and singer Jared Leto, known for his role as the Joker in Suicide Squad, is currently facing serious accusations. Nine women are accusing him of inappropriate sexual behavior. These allegations were revealed in a lengthy investigation published by Air Mail. However, according to the latest news, his spokesperson has just responded to these accusations.
The Reported Facts
The case resurfaced after a Los Angeles DJ, Allie Teilz, shared an old post on Instagram. In it, she discusses an alleged assault from when she was 17.
You're not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you behind the scenes. I was assaulted and traumatized by that monster when I was 17. He knew my age and didn't care.
Other women later came forward with allegations that Leto engaged in inappropriate behavior when they were minors. Some speak of persistent messages, sexual phone calls, or private meetings.
Jared Leto strongly denies these allegations
Faced with these testimonies, a representative for Jared Leto firmly denied all allegations. In a statement, he stated that "All accusations are expressly denied." He also emphasized that the artist has been sober for more than 35 years, in response to speculation about alleged substance use during certain exchanges.
In one of the cases discussed, the representative clarified that the communications between Leto and the accuser were not sexual in nature. He also disputed that she had applied to become his assistant, as the article mentions.
A controversial past
In fact, this isn't the first time Jared Leto has been criticized for his behavior. In 2018, actor Dylan Sprouse publicly called him out on Twitter about his interactions with young models. At the time, director James Gunn also reacted, insinuating that Leto was interested in very young women.
Furthermore, Leto's attitude on set has sometimes sparked controversy. For example, for his role in Suicide Squad, he mentioned sending strange "gifts" to his colleagues, before denying these comments, later calling them a "joke".
In any case, Jared Leto is a prominent figure in cinema and music. It's worth remembering that he won an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club in 2014. He is also known for his commitment to method acting, which has earned him as much admiration as criticism. His band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, has enjoyed global success since the 2000s.
To date, no legal proceedings have been initiated against Jared Leto.
