Jared Leto Denies 10 Women’s Sexual Misconduct Allegations
A BBC documentary called "Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret" shows ten women saying the actor did bad things to them when they were teenagers.
Some say he touched them, threatened them, or talked to them in a bad way.
Jared Leto says he never did any of that.
The BBC checked some of the stories with photos and people who knew the women.
The story is still new, and the actor has not talked to the filmmakers.
People are watching to see if the claims are true or not.
Ten women, including four teenagers, accuse Jared Leto of sexual assault, threats, and grooming from 2002‑2016.
Leto denies all allegations, saying he has never sexually assaulted anyone.
The BBC documentary corroborated some accounts with photos, messages, and testimony from friends and family.
Allegations include a motel bathroom assault at age 17, a threat of assault at age 19, statutory rape at age 17, and repeated explicit phone calls to a 16‑year‑old.
The case follows earlier 2025 accusations by DJ Allie Teilz and an Air Mail investigation that prompted more women to come forward.
