Jared Leto has been hit with a barrage of disturbing new claims.
In a bombshell new BBC investigation, the House of Gucci actor has been accused of “criminal sexual conduct” by four women. According to the news organization, one woman, who went by Isabel (not her real name), claimed she was assaulted by Jared in a “dingy, gross motel” in 2002. At the time, she was 17 and the actor, now 54, would have been in his 30s. In BBC’s new documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret, which released on Wednesday, Isabel claims Jared called her into the bathroom where he was showering and kissed her:
“I don’t think there [were] many words exchanged, and he opened the shower curtain and started kissing me.”
She went on to claim the Dallas Buyers Club star placed her hand on his penis and used it to masturbate. It wasn’t until after the incident that Isabel learned of Jared’s age.

A second victim, who identified herself as Alex, came forward claiming the Oscar winner threatened to sexually assault her when she was just 19. She said that after meeting him at a London concert in 2013, she was invited to a hotel party nearby. But upon arrival, she noticed it was “really dark, and then I see that it’s just him.” She recalled being worried about getting home as she had no cash and a dead phone, so she asked Jared if she could borrow money or use his charger. He allegedly declined both requests. Alex then asked if she could sleep on the chaise lounge in Jared’s hotel room, to which he allegedly told her she’d wake up with a “d**k in her ass” if she did.
A third victim, who identified herself as Clara, claimed Jared had sex with her in California multiple times was she was just 17 years old — which constitutes statutory rape in the state. She further claimed the American Psycho actor dismissed a conversation with her about the age of consent being 18:
“[He] just kind of shrugged it off, like it wasn’t a huge concern for him.”
She continued:
“He told me, ‘I would like you to call me daddy.’ And it was either pretend to be a little girl or ‘my little girl.’ It was only as time went on that I realized more and more how scary that really was.”
So depraved…
A fourth accuser alleged the Morbius actor groomed her and made several sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was just 16 years old. According to the report, he allegedly asked her to have sex during one of the calls and even seemingly attempted to protect himself by sending her an NDA. She refused to sign it.
According to the BBC, four additional women claim to have received “strange and often very sexual phone calls” from the Fight Club actor when they were younger, while another claimed he made a “lewd comment” about her chest during an autograph signing when she was 14. The outlet revealed that out of the 10 women they interviewed, nine were “sharing their stories publicly for the first time.”
Incredibly disturbing revelations.
Over the past year and change, the dominant conversation surrounding the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman has shifted into dark, deeply distressing terrain. Last year, a woman named DJ Allie Teilz made waves when she highlighted an old Facebook post from 2012 in which she claimed Jared attempted to “force himself” on her backstage at an M83 concert. At the time, she was a minor at just 17 years old. Teilz went on to call the Suicide Squad star “Hollywood’s most persistent predator” and in the process opened the floodgates for similar stories to be shared.
After her post caught wind on social media, an army of alleged victims came forward detailing their own alleged disturbing encounters with Jared from when they were teens — some as young as 14. You can read their accounts, including details about alleged parties hosted by Brent Bolthouse at Jared’s LA mansion, HERE.
Not long after, even MORE shocking stories were uncovered in a bombshell exposé published by AirMail, all which a rep for Leto fiercely denied.
