Jared Leto Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Four Women in New BBC Doc - The Hollywood Reporter

What the report says

The Hollywood Reporter, citing a new BBC documentary, reported Wednesday that Jared Leto is facing sexual misconduct allegations from 10 women, some of whom say they were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents. The BBC program, titled “Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret,” says the allegations involving the Oscar-winning actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman span from 2002 to 2016. Leto, 54, denied the claims in a statement provided by his representatives to THR, saying he has never sexually assaulted anyone and calling the allegations false.

According to THR’s account of the BBC report, four women accuse Leto of criminal sexual conduct connected to alleged encounters when they were teenagers. The described claims include an alleged assault in a motel bathroom when one woman was 17, an alleged threat of sexual assault when another was 19, and an allegation that Leto had sex with a 17-year-old in California, where THR notes she would have been under the age of consent. Another woman alleges Leto groomed her through sexually explicit calls when she was 16 and says she later received a nondisclosure agreement, which she refused to sign; the BBC said it reviewed the NDA.

THR also reported that other women described sexualized calls or comments, including one who said Leto made a lewd remark when she was 14 at an autograph event. The BBC said it corroborated some accounts with people told at the time and reviewed supporting materials in certain cases. The report follows earlier public allegations, including a 2025 Air Mail investigation, which Leto’s representatives also denied. The claims have not been adjudicated in the information provided.
