Back in my 4th year of college (2003-2004) one of the freshman girls I was friends with mentioned that when her younger sister (16 at that the time) actually met Leto at one point and blew him; said when he came it tasted like candy.

Dudes a fucking creep

Show me one person who is surprised by this and he will show them his dick.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We’re all not surprised, but he’s still not in court. He’s still not in jail. He’s still allowed to rape girls at his leisure.

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course he is, because this country is a nightmare from which we will never wake.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Yes exactly. It’s maddening to see the same sentiment over and over - this isn’t a surprise, it’s the ones you most expect, we’ve heard about this for decades.

And absolutely nothing has happened to him.

[–] 1egg4u@lemmy.world 136 points 2 days ago (11 children)

How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

More importantly, he's box office poison.

Which really does lend credibility to the idea that he either has some Epstein-style blackmail on some influential people in Hollywood and/or he's still providing them with unsavory, or illegal, experiences.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

He's rich. He produced tron so he got to say he was the lead in it. Rich people suck.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 days ago

Yea something is up.

[–] Aetherial@nord.pub 2 points 1 day ago

His performance, if you can even stand degrading other actors and actresses by using the term with his name attached to it, in Bladerunner 2049 was a look inside his brain. That was Jared in 2049, not some tech overlord he was pretending to be.

[–] architect@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 days ago

He’s got to be one of them that traffics or supplies women to the rest.

[–] 1egg4u@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

This is the genuinely such an agonizing flip side to it like if we are gonna employ a sex criminal at least get an actor who isnt total ass and ruins every movie he is in. Dude is allergic to emotion, wooden, and sucks to work with. It makes no sense. There are so many pervs in hollywood I know at least one of them has to be able to act better than this asshole

I feel like this is why we keep seeing him in movies despite the fact he's box office kryptonite.

He's somebody's favorite sex pest.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 55 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And spearheaded in a country that famously keeps and defends sexual predators in positions of power?

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 19 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the USA was a mistake

Like most predators. Everyone knows for decades and hardly anyone does anything about it. The ones who speak up are called sluts, liars, clout-seekers, attention whores, etc.

I stopped watching any of his works since I found out he has a cult..

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This guy has a cult? Really?

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yes! Yes, that’s the guy with the cult!

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.zip 89 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You mean to tell me that the creepy weirdo that seems to run a sex cult with himself as the object of worship is a sex pest‽ That seems unlikely! (/s)

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 43 points 2 days ago

It's always the people you most expect

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago

Right?? I'm shocked of this news from the guy who may or may not have sent used condoms to his Suicide Squad co-stars in the pursuit of "method acting"

[–] AXH@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Good interrobang usage‽ Hell yeah

Hopefully they stop putting this rapist in movies.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago

Someone once commented that "30 seconds to Mars was Jared Leto's excuse to get closer to teenage girls"

[–] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago

So he’s a sexual predator and all his movies flop? Quick, cast him as a lead role in our next movie with a $250 million budget!

[–] Senal@programming.dev 47 points 2 days ago
[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The next article will be about how he’s rebranding himself as a born-again Christian.

[–] TheImpressiveX@piefed.social 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He already thinks he is Jesus.

Following the Russel Brand playbook.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Wow, the people obsessed with money who love the privilege capitalism grants them also enjoy power. Who could have guessed.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Please let this mean he's finally going to stop being cast in movies.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He must have pictures of some big producers. Photographs eh? Know what I mean, know what I mean?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

This dude and Russel Brand are the biggest "I'm not surprised in the least" that they have accusations against them. Always got creepy vibes from both of them

I find it interesting the article ends saying there's 9 accusations back in 2025. I'm curious if these ones are additional accusations or some of those 9

In a report in Air Mail in June 2025, nine women accused Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior over the years

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

I'm so glad I don't pay for films he's in

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I really wish this guy did not get cast for Bladerunner 2049.

[–] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, he "plays" a good creep. I don't think he takes away from the movie, which is something, but I wish it didn't give him employment.
