Jared Leto has denied multiple allegations of sexual misconduct following a detailed report published by Air Mail on June 7. The report includes accounts from several women, with four alleging they were underage when they first interacted with the Oscar-winning actor and musician.

Two women, DJ Allie Teilz and Laura La Rue, went on the record. Teilz stated in a resurfaced 2012 Facebook post, “You’re not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat.” She added on Instagram, “I was assaulted and traumatised by this creep when I was 17. He knew my age and didn’t care.”

Leto’s representative responded, “Ms. Teilz’s allegations are demonstrably false.”

Laura La Rue alleged she met Leto at an animal rights benefit in 2008, told him she was 16, and later visited him at his studio. She claimed he once appeared completely naked. Leto’s rep responded, “Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate,” and noted La Rue had allegedly applied to be his personal assistant—an assertion she denies.

Additional claims include one woman who said Leto began calling her repeatedly after they met at a Los Angeles café when she was 16. She alleged the calls became sexual. Another actress claimed that, after turning 18, Leto exposed himself and initiated unwanted sexual contact.

Leto’s rep issued a blanket statement to Air Mail: “All of the allegations are expressly denied.”

The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman has not made a personal public comment as of this publication.
