Nine women accuse Jared Leto of inappropriate sexual behavior

BarcelonaActor and singer Jared Leto is the subject of an article in the digital newsletter Air Mail in which nine women report having suffered inappropriate sexual behavior at the hands of Leto. One of the accusers, for example, was sixteen years old at the time (in 2006) and details how the Oscar-winning actor asked for her phone number and, from then on, began calling her insisting on meeting up and turning the conversations to sexual topics, such as asking her if she had ever performed fellatio.

Leto's representatives have sent a response to Air Mail: "There was nothing sexual or inappropriate about their communications. And Ms. La Rue later applied to work as Mr. Leto's personal assistant, underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions." The outlet, founded by a former CEO of Vanity Fair and a reporter from the New York Times, denies ever having asked her for a job. And she claims that, when she was 17—and he was 37—he once walked in front of her with his penis hanging out of his pants. "I thought maybe that's what grown men did," she explains.

Another of the women explains that, when she was still a minor, she began receiving messages from the actor with questions like, "Do any of these kids you're dating fuck you?" And she recalls that, when she was 18, Leto began masturbating, took her hand and placed it on his penis and asked her to spit. The magazine also includes the testimony of Allie Teilz, a music producer and DJ from Los Angeles who last month, on Instagram, rescued a post of hers from 2012 in which she said: "You're not in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you." backstage, dressed in a kilt and snow hat." She later added, "I was assaulted and traumatized by this geek when I was seventeen. He knew my age, but he didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying, and unacceptable."
