10 women have took part in a documentary called ‘Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret’, four of which have accused him of criminal sexual conduct.

I can’t say that I’m that surprised, I remember there being rumours floating around about him when I was a teen/early 20s.

It's always the ones you most suspect 🙄

Another one hiding in plain sight 😡

Im glad this is finally getting some traction because its been common knowledge for years, I was shocked that his acting career had picked back up again in recent years as I thought it had died off because the industry had caught on!

This has been common knowledge for years and he keeps getting leading roles despite so many flops. I said it on the Brad Pitt thread.

All the women say they encountered Leto between 2002 and 2016, when he was in his 30s and 40s. He is now 54.

30s and 40s. He can't use the "I was young and dumb" excuse

Out of curiosity, can the BBC show the unsigned NDA in the documentary? Or would that be prohibited?

I was really shocked and disappointed to read this! I'm sure it was common knowledge but I've not really followed news about him. I just really loved him and Claire Danes in My So Called Life. I thought as he'd had a few good acting roles plus his band, he was probably quite a cool guy.

Sad to find out he's just another groomy pervy rapey bastard.

This has been common knowledge for years. Terribly depressing that it’s only coming out now after all his money, fame and accolades have already granted him ready access to goodness knows how many vulnerable young women and girls.

Anything unsigned isn’t an agreement! No one would be in breach of anything to show it (and they did show a bit of it).

Finally..

I have come across so many people discussing his alleged dodgy behaviour on various online forums over the years.

Another famous man who was allowed to get away with being a perv in plain sight.

virgowoman · 29/07/2026 16:51

it’s been talked about for years. Why do they do it?
He has/had a very successful career. Why sabotage all that and treat women like playthings? Just disgusting.

RebeccaDecember · 29/07/2026 16:53

“Hollywood’s Dark Secret” which really isn’t a secret at all?

PangolinPan · 29/07/2026 17:50

I'm sure he was cancelled/disgraced in the early 2000s, even went to prison? I remember being surprised he was back in movies etc.

Lalgarh · 29/07/2026 22:40

I can't see any references to it in his wiki

It took a while for me to realise he was him from My So Called Life

Yeah, James Franco’s career never recovered from what he did.
