Jared Leto has denied allegations of sexual misconduct after multiple women came forward and accused the 53-year-old actor and singer of behaving inappropriately toward them, with some claiming they were underage.
In a report published by digital weekly Air Mail on Saturday, nine women alleged that the Suicide Squad actor behaved inappropriately toward them and has a long-standing pattern of sexual misconduct.
A representative for Leto told the outlet that “all of the allegations are expressly denied.”
The rep also denied an earlier allegation from Allie Teilz, a DJ who claimed in an Instagram Story posted last month that she was “assaulted and traumatized” by Leto. His rep said that “Ms. Teilz’s allegations are demonstrably false.”
Teilz said she was 17 years old when she had her interaction with Leto. She reposted a 2012 Facebook status update on Instagram last month, writing, “Youre (sic) not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage … In a kilt.. And a snow hat.”
In a follow-up post, Teilz wrote, “I was assaulted and traumatized by that creep when I was 17. He knew my age and didn’t care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”
Among the allegations in the article from Air Mail, Leto is accused of walking out of a room naked in front of a 17-year-old girl and exposing himself and masturbating before putting an 18-year-old’s hand “on him.” He is also accused of asking sexual questions to a 16-year-old girl.
