Jared Leto accused of sexual misconduct by MULTIPLE women... and several were allegedly minors
Jared Leto is facing allegations from nine women of inappropriate behavior, including with teenage girls.
The frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars and star of films including House Of Gucci and Suicide Squad, 53, is alleged to have inflicted the behavior on them over the course of nearly two decades, and the accusations involve women who say they were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents.
According to an exposé published by Air Mail, the claims, which have apparently circulated in Hollywood for years, have now been brought into the open, with one woman stating to the outlet: 'It's been an open secret for a long time.'
Reps for Leto haven't yet responded to DailyMail.com's request for comment, but a representative denied all of the women's claims in a statement to Air Mail.
The accusations came to light after Los Angeles–based DJ Allie Teilz, 30, re-shared a 2012 Facebook post on her Instagram Stories, in which she alleged Leto — who was previously called out by other Hollywood stars for being 'full of himself' — assaulted her when she was 17.
'You're not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat,' she claimed. 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.'

She further alleged that Leto 'knew' her age but 'didn't care,' describing his actions as 'predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.'
A second woman, whose name was not revealed, told the publication that Leto approached her in 2006 when she was 16 at Urth Caffé in Los Angeles.
At the time, he was allegedly visiting the popular cafe with Ashley Olsen, whom he had been rumored to be in a relationship with at the time.
'I looked down and it was Jared Leto. We had a quick conversation, and he got my number,' she claimed.
The woman alleged that he called her days later, adding: 'I don't know if he was on drugs or what… it was the weirdest, grossest voice… [but] for me, it's Jared, you know?'
The woman alleged their late-night conversations 'turned sexual,' and she claimed that Leto asked questions including, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend?' and 'Have you ever sucked a d***?'
Model Laura La Rue, 33, also alleged that she met Leto in 2008, when she was 16 and he was 36, at a Yes! on Prop Two animal rights benefit.
'He asked how old I was,' she alleged. 'I said, "I'm 16. How old are you?"'
La Rue claimed to Air Mail that Leto still asked for her number despite knowing her age, and she said he later invited her to his Los Angeles home, where he was 'flirting' and 'teasing [her] the whole time [she] was there.'
She even alleged that Leto walked into a room she was in while completely naked at one point, as if 'it was normal.'
'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do,' La Rue added.
Leto's representative denied all of the women's accounts in a statement to 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.'
But La Rue denied applying for such a role.
Sources quoted in the article described parties at Leto's Los Angeles home and said they had a ratio of 60 'very young women to four or five men,' and they claimed that guests were encouraged to go skinny dipping at the events.
Jared's publicist stated that the actor 'has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.'
A fourth woman who went nameless claimed she met Leto at an 18-plus club when she was 20. However, it was his assistant who allegedly approached her to ask for her phone number.
She said they 'hook[ed] up a little' while still at the club, and she alleged that she subsequently spent time at his home on multiple occasions, but she described Leto as being 'weird.'
'I know some people are kinky, and that's fine,' she said, before adding that 'his kind of kink ... just didn't feel right.'
Another unnamed accuser said she began a flirtatious back-and-forth over text messages with Leto when she was still a minor.
During her alleged visits to his home, he would ask her sexual questions, including, 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with f*** you?'
She said their relationship escalated after she turned 18, and Leto allegedly 'pulled his penis out and started masturbating' during a subsequent visit to his home.
She claimed that the Blade Runner 2049 actor put her hand on his penis and told her, 'I want you to spit on it.'
In 2016, Leto was reported to have sent his Suicide Squad costars used condoms as a gift that might have been sent by his character in the film, the Joker.
But Leto subsequently denied that part of the report in a 2017 SiriusXM interview.
'There were some things that were mentioned about gifts and the fact that I was giving used condoms to people, which was not true. It was not true,' he said.
However, the actor did admit to sending them gifts that were 'funny,' 'absurd or outrageous.'
In a 2016 interview with E! Online, his costar Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who played Killer Croc, said that Leto had sent him 'sticky Playboy magazines' as part of his character's gift, and he also allegedly sent the entire cast a 'dead pig.'
'That was a good gift because it had the effect of unifying us as a group because then it became us against him,' Akinnuoye-Agbaje said. 'We sent the messenger back with the dead pig and our own personalized message. It got the ball rolling.'

Gabrielle Union reveals the 'stupid' purchase she made after cashing first big paycheck for Bring It On
Gabrielle Union revealed the 'stupid' purchase she made after cashing in her paycheck from her breakthrough film Bring It On. The 52-year-old actress, who rose to fame after starring in the cult classic cheerleading comedy in 2000, opened up about what she regretted doing when she 'made it' in Hollywood. She said that over two decades ago, she made a 'stupid' car purchase with her first big paycheck even against the advice of her father. While making an appearance at the American Black Film Festival in Miami on Thursday, June 12, she recalled her spontaneous purchase during a panel discussion. 'So stupid,' she began about her purchase, which she deemed not very worthwhile, while chatting with moderator Kelley L. Carter for her live, onstage discussion titled Sisterhood & Savings: A Conversation with Gabrielle Union. 'I went on the Mazda lot,' the movie star — who teased an upcoming sequel movie with Kirsten Dunst — recalled. 'I'm like, "Oh, I've made it when I have a Mazda." 'My dad's like, "Don't buy a brand new car. It depreciates the second you drive it off the lot",' she added. 'I walked into Mazda and I bought myself a black on black Mazda Miata with leather seats,' Union said before explaining how the car hurt her nearly every time she drove it. 'Let me tell you about leather seats in Los Angeles. Do you know I scorched myself every time I got out?' She added: 'Yeah, that was my first purchase. And it depreciated the second I drove it off the lot.' Over the years, Union as well as her husband, retired NBA star Dwyane Wade, have openly discussed their finances in the past. They previously revealed that they split their bills evenly even after getting married. Wade, 43, also previously shared that he and Union signed a prenup before they tied the knot in August 2014. While making an appearance on the Club Shay Shay podcast in 2023, Wade said that they discussed it beforehand to protect each other's best interests. She said that over two decades ago, she made a 'stupid' car purchase with her first big paycheck even against the advice of her father 'So stupid,' she began about her purchase, revealing it was a 'black on black Mazda Miata with leather seats' while chatting with moderator Kelley L. Carter for her onstage discussion titled Sisterhood & Savings: A Conversation with Gabrielle Union 'I told her the same way, "I'll sign a prenup too. You're a millionaire. You got money. You work hard for yourself."' Union's decades-spanning, acclaimed career began in the 1990s with various sitcom appearances. Near the turn of the century, she landed supporting roles in 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That, rising to fame in the 1999 romantic comedies. Union was 27 whens he starred opposite Kirsten Dunst in Bring It On. Earlier this year, Union teased an upcoming sequel and also admitted that her kids do not like the original movie. The original film starred Union and Dunst as the heads of rival cheerleading teams as they prepare for the national championships. Bring It On was a hit in its theatrical release in August 2000, taking in $90.4 million against an $11 million budget and gaining an enduring fan base. The film also spawned five direct-to-video sequels and a television movie sequel, none of which featured any of the original cast members, as well as a Broadway musical stage adaptation. Now it seems that Union and Dunst are ready to return for a sequel, with Union teasing a sequel during a March appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. She also admitted during the episode that neither of her kids — 17-year-old Zaya nor six-year-old Kaavia — enjoyed the beloved original, which comes after she opened up about husband Dwyane Wade's cancer diagnosis. Union was asked by a fan when the last time she saw Dunst, and asked about her comments about revisiting the original. 'Well, I ran into Kiki a couple of months ago. Our kids are around the same age, and her child goes to school with one of Kaav's best friends,' Union began.

Rob Gronkowski's Sports Illustrated model girlfriend Camille Kostek reveals nasty side of being a NFL WAG
Rob Gronkowski 's model partner Camille Kostek has revealed the negative side of being an NFL girlfriend. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 33, has known the former Patriots star since 2013, with the tight end retiring (for a second time) three years ago. But Kostek recently revealed that she was judged by the wives of other NFL players for not being married to Gronkowski. 'I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger,' she said on Kristin Cavallari's 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,' per US Weekly. 'But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced.' Kostek and Gronkowski, who met each other when she was a cheerleader for the Patriots, did break up in 2017 before eventually getting back together. However, Kostek explained that she used her time apart from the future Hall of Famer to pursue her passions - namely becoming a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. 'In that year, I decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which was on my bucket list. I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy,' she said. 'There were so many things I was destined to want to do, and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.' Kostek first modeled for SI Swimsuit in 2018, covered the magazine the following year and has been photographed for the brand every year since her debut. She was even named a 'Legend' of the brand last year. Last month, she walked the runway for SI Swimsuit in a show that included Livvy Dunne, soccer player Midge Purce and more. While Gronkowski and Kostek do not have a child together, they do share a dog named Ralphie, who the four-time Super Bowl champion mentioned when he wished his girlfriend a happy birthday back in February. 'Happy Birthday to my Dancing Queen @camillekostek !! From your incredible kindness to your infectious energy, you light up every room you walk into babe!!,' he wrote on Instagram. 'You deserve the best, not just today but always. Love you to the moon and back! And the best Momma anyone could ask for to our loving boy @ralphiegronkowski !!' Gronkowski, 36, established himself as one of the best tight ends in NFL history over an 11-year career. The University of Arizona became a favorite target of Tom Brady during their time together in New England, catching 17 touchdown passes in 2011 and winning three Super Bowls under then-Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

The View co-host Sunny Hostin shares chilling story about how she 'almost DIED' on set
Sunny Hostin revealed she 'almost died' after suffering a medical emergency during an episode of The View this week. The TV personality, 56 — who recently left her fellow co-hosts speechless over comments on the Iran–Israel conflict — opened up about the harrowing incident on the ABC talk show on Friday. Hostin found herself in danger on Wednesday, when guest Debbie Matenopoulos made an appearance to promote her new cookbook titled and also brought along a few meals for the hosts to taste. At one point, Matenopoulos — who previously was a host on The View in the late '90s — described the items she brought, such as an orzo dish. However, Hostin soon found out that she was deathly allergic to one of the ingredients. 'She has this wonderful food, Greek food. And I have a terrible allergy to walnuts. And as I'm eating the food, Alyssa [Griffin] asks, "Are those walnuts in here?" And she says, "Yes."' Sunny shared that she began 'to panic immediately' and penned a 'death note' to Griffin who was sitting directly next to her at the time. While telling the story on Friday, Hostin then held up a blue card which had the words, 'I am allergic to walnuts,' scribbled on the back. Sunny continued, 'And she responds with, "Oh no!" And I'm looking at [executive producer] Brian [Teta] and he's like, "Is everything okay?"' The star had simply responded, 'No, it's not,' by silently shaking her head in his direction. Hostin was able to make it to the end of the segment before receiving medical aid from doctors on the set. 'But what was great was our Disney nurses, man, they are like superheroes. They came in — nurse Jen came in — with an EpiPen. She was testing me. I had Benadryl. I was scared.' Griffin chimed in to explain that she couldn't read the note that Sunny had quickly written down, but added, 'We're glad you made it through.' The TV personality went on to explain that she hadn't had an allergic reaction to that extent in a decade. Hostin has been a co-host on The View since 2016, and currently works alongside Alyssa Farah Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Ana Navarro. Hostin said, 'She has this wonderful food, Greek food. And I have a terrible allergy to walnuts. And as I'm eating the food, Alyssa [Griffin] asks, "Are those walnuts in here?" And she says, "Yes"' Despite her allergy to walnuts, Sunny has talked about some of her favorite snacks during an interview with Us Weekly last year. 'My co-hosts on The View make fun of me, but I eat Funyuns,' the star said, referencing to the onion-flavored chips. 'I think it's kind of a strange thing, but I eat Funyuns. It's not great for the breath, so I have mints.' However, Hostin has a special twist when it comes to munching on the snack and will dip the chips in hot sauce. 'Ana Navarro's right next door and she just looks in at me and she's just like, "Are you eating that again?" I am,' Sunny humorously added. And a few months earlier in March, Hostin got candid about her weight loss journey and discussed using Mounjaro - an injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes. She had turned to the drug due to feeling 'shame' for gaining 40 pounds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sunny told 'All I did was eat... I love to cook, and I found out, I love to eat. And I was horrified about the fact that I would have to come out on air. So I also took Mounjaro.' And a few months earlier in March, Hostin got candid about her weight loss journey and discussed using Mounjaro - an injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes; seen earlier this month in NYC When she stopped taking Mounjaro, Hostin talked about the 'different experience' that she had. 'I feel really great. I don't know what everyone else's experience with it is, but I never gained any weight back.' The media personality further added, 'So, that was kind of weird. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to me.' The mom-of-two added that her body feels the same following her time taking the medication. 'I was never a big eater, so I just sort of eat to live. I don't live to eat,' Sunny explained, and emphasize she also 'never stopped working out.' The author - who took Mounjaro over the span of four months - added, 'Yeah, I'm just living life and feeling pretty good.' When the talk show host was asked if she would go back on the medication, she replied with, 'If I needed to, sure. Why not?' Back in 2024 during an episode of The View, Hostin first revealed that she had taken Mounjaro. 'During Covid I gained 40 pounds. All I did was eat. I love to cook and I found out I love to eat. And I was horrified by the fact that I would have to come out on air. So I took Mounjaro.' She had also shared some of the negative reaction she received in regards to her weight loss.
