Jared Leto Addresses Allegations Against Him
Jared Leto has denied the accusations of criminal sexual conduct made against him by four women.
The BBC attempted to get a comment from the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman before the documentary's release but did not receive a response.
However, hours after the documentary was aired, his spokesperson issued an official statement on his behalf.
“I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false.”
This was not the first time Leto had faced allegations of sexual misconduct. Back in June 2025, Air Mail published a report in which nine women accused the Tron: Ares star of inappropriate behavior, including allegedly flirting with teenagers.
At the time, a representative for Leto also “expressly denied” the allegations, calling them “demonstrably false.”
What Are the Allegations Against Jared Leto?
The BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret investigates historical and more recent allegations of sexual misconduct, grooming, and statutory rape against Jared Leto, featuring accounts from several women who allege the incidents occurred when they were teenagers.
One woman claimed she was sexually assaulted by Leto inside a motel bathroom when she was 17. Another alleged that he threatened to sexually assault her when she was 19 after she was unexpectedly left alone with him in a hotel room.
A third woman alleged that she had sex with Leto when she was 17, which she said would constitute statutory rape because the age of consent was 18 where the encounter allegedly took place. She claimed Leto simply "shrugged off" a conversation about the age of consent.
The fourth woman, who alleged she was groomed by Leto, accused the actor of abusing his celebrity status by repeatedly making sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was 16 and, on at least one occasion, suggesting they should have sex.
She also alleged that she was later sent a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to prevent her from speaking publicly about their relationship. The BBC reported that it reviewed the unsigned document.
Four additional women alleged they received strange and often sexual phone calls from Leto when they were young.
One woman claimed that, when she was 14, Leto instructed a security guard to bring her backstage at a music festival after allegedly making a lewd comment about her chest during an autograph signing. According to her, her mother confronted Leto, but he allegedly repeated the remark.
In total, 10 women spoke about their alleged experiences with Leto in the BBC documentary, with nine of them sharing their stories publicly for the first time.
According to the documentary, the alleged incidents took place between 2002 and 2016, when Leto was in his 30s and 40s. Leto is now 54.
