Jared Leto is facing new allegations from several women, who say the actor and musician acted inappropriately with them over the years.
In a report published Saturday by Air Mail, nine women spoke up, and some of them described his behavior as “predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”

A teenager says Leto approached her at a café
One woman said she was 16 when she ran into Leto outside a café in Los Angeles back in 2006.
She said he was sitting with actress Ashley Olsen, who was 19 at the time. Leto grabbed her arm, she recalled.
“I looked down and it was Jared Leto,” she told Air Mail. “We had a quick conversation, and he got my number.”
A few days later, she said he called her home. “I don’t know if he was on drugs or what… It was the weirdest, grossest voice… [But] for me, it’s Jared, you know?”
She says the phone calls started getting inappropriate
The woman said Leto invited her to a party at his place that same night. But she didn’t go. “I didn’t even have a driver’s license,” she said.
Even so, he kept calling her. “Always at one, two, three AM.”
“And the conversations turned sexual,” she said, then went on to cite extremely disturbing conversations.
Another model recalls intense watching at an event
Model Laura La Rue told the outlet something similar happened to her in 2008. She was 16 and at a private event in Beverly Hills.
She said Leto stared at her “so intensely.”
“He asked how old I was. I said, ‘I’m 16. How old are you?’” she told Air Mail. Leto was 36 then, and she said he asked for her number.
Their emails led to visits to his home
La Rue said they exchanged emails for a while, and eventually she visited his home in April 2009.
“I remember him teasing me the whole time I was there,” she said. “He was flirting with me. He’d lean in close, then pull away, like it was a game.”
Leto’s rep denies La Rue’s account
Leto’s rep told Air Mail that “their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate.”
The rep also claimed La Rue later tried to become Leto’s personal assistant, which they said shows there was nothing wrong going on.
But La Rue denied ever applying for that job.
La Rue recalls Leto walking out naked during a visit
In another visit when she was 17, La Rue said Leto came out of a room completely naked.
He just walked out in his birthday suit “like it was normal,” she said. “I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.”
A different woman describes disturbing behavior
One woman said she and Leto started texting while she was still underage.
She said he’d ask her inappropriate stuff when she came over. Things like, “Does any of the little boys you hang out with [sleep with] you?”
Then, when she was 18, she said Leto suddenly [disrobed] and started touching himself.
“He walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him,” she said. Then he leaned in and made some boundary-crossing demands.
Allie Teilz shares her story on Instagram
DJ and music producer Allie Teilz posted about Leto last month on Instagram, Air Mail reported.
She shared a screenshot of an old Facebook post from 2012 where she wrote: “You’re [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat.”
In Instagram stories, she added: “I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17… He knew my age and didn’t care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”
Leto’s camp denies all accusations
Leto’s rep has “expressly denied” all the claims made in the report, including Teilz’s.
The rep called them “demonstrably false.”
Leto hasn’t made any public comment yet.
