Multiple women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against actor and Oscar winner Jared Leto, who has publicly denied all accusations. The claims span several years and primarily involve alleged inappropriate behavior towards younger women, bringing Jared Leto sexual misconduct allegations by multiple women into sharp focus.
Details of Accusations Revealed in Report
An investigative article published by AirMail on June 7 outlined several incidents reportedly involving Jared Leto and various women, some of whom were minors at the time. According to the exposé, accusations date back years and paint a picture of a recurring pattern of alleged misconduct.

Another woman, reflecting on her teenage years, claimed that at the age of 16, she met Leto in a Los Angeles café where he allegedly requested her phone number. The report describes how the woman soon received unsettling phone calls from Leto. She stated,
“I don’t know if he was on drugs or what,”
and,
“It was the weirdest, grossest voice, [but] for me, it’s Jared, you know?”

Leto’s spokesperson responded,
“has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.”

The same woman further claimed that Leto persistently contacted her, mostly during late-night hours, and that the conversations became overtly sexual. She recounted being asked personal and inappropriate questions, describing a shift in his tone that left her frightened. She said,
“Always at one, two, three a.m.,”
and,
“The conversations turned sexual. He’d ask things like, ‘Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a d***?’ He changed — his voice, the way he talked. It scared me. That was the first time I thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s not just in movies.’”

Allegations from Laura La Rue and Other Accounts
Model Laura La Rue also recounted similar claims to AirMail. She said her encounter with Leto was in 2008 when she was 16 years old, describing how Leto frequently messaged her to visit his house. La Rue told AirMail,
“I remember him teasing me the whole time I was there,”
and,
“He was flirting with me. He’d lean in close, then pull away, like it was a game.”

Leto, through his representative, denied sending any sexual or improper messages to La Rue, further alleging that La Rue had later applied for a job as his personal assistant—a claim La Rue refuted. She also recalled an incident where Leto allegedly entered a room where she was present while naked. La Rue stated,
“He just walked out, dick out, like it was normal,”
and,
“I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.”
