Jared Leto sexual misconduct allegations

Entities: BBC · Thirty Seconds to Mars · Jared Leto · Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret · Los Angeles

Overview

On July 29 2026 the BBC broadcast “Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret,” featuring ten women—four speaking publicly for the first time—who allege the actor engaged in criminal sexual conduct with them as teenagers between 2002 and 2016. Allegations include a motel‑room assault at age 17, threats of assault at 19, statutory‑rape‑type intercourse at 17 in California, and explicit phone calls with a request to be called “daddy.” The documentary cites corroborating photographs, messages and testimony, and notes that one accuser refused to sign an NDA.

Leto issued a written denial, calling the claims “absolutely and categorically false,” and no criminal charges have been filed. Talent agency WME continues to represent him, and its client‑advisory committee has taken no action. On the set of the upcoming film “Tron: Ares,” insiders reported Leto made unusual demands, including a fish‑only diet and a request that cast and crew avoid eye contact. A 2013 concert clip in which Leto praised “high school girls” resurfaced and went viral after the documentary’s release, prompting further criticism.

On July 31 2026 Leto reiterated his denial in a public statement, again asserting he has never sexually assaulted anyone. The documentary’s producers said they remain prepared for possible legal action, while discussion of Leto’s past behavior on set and the resurfaced clip continued to dominate media coverage.
