Frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars, Jared Leto, has issued a statement to Loudwire after being contacted regarding the BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret, in which multiple women have made sexual misconduct allegations against him.

In the statement released by Jared Leto through his representatives, the actor-musician stated, “I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false.”

What Was Shared in the Jared Leto BBC Documentary?

The BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret featured interviews with 10 women, nine of whom shared their stories for the first time. Within the documentary, four of these women recounted experiences that could be interpreted as criminal actions by Leto.

The accounts included one woman who was 17 at the time alleging that Leto grabbed her hand to stimulate himself while he was in the shower in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2002. Another woman accused Leto of being present in a darkened hotel room where she was misled instead of going to an afterparty and then threatened with a sexual act.

A third woman claimed to have had sex with Leto at his California home when she was 17 and noted that they discussed the age of consent, which he did not seem concerned about. A fourth accuser recalled receiving sexual phone calls from Leto when she was 16 and later being asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement, which she refused.

More About the Jared Leto Allegations

The number of allegations against Leto appears to have increased over the past year. It began when a Los Angeles DJ shared a Facebook post she had written in 2012 on her Instagram Stories last year, recalling, “You’re not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage at an M83 show.. In a kilt.. And a snow hat.”

Soon after, Air Mail published an exposé interviewing several women who recounted their encounters with Leto. At that time, a representative for Leto “expressly denied” the accusations from that report, stating that the claims were “demonstrably false.”
