    I can’t stand this asshole and don’t understand how he keeps nailing acting roles in top movies of genres I love. Anytime I see him cast in a movie I’m interested in, it just deflates my anticipation to almost zero.

    30 Second to Mars used to be top tier like 10-15 years ago, but after seeing him about 5 years ago I’ve lost all respect for him in all aspects of his career. He took the stage dressed like Jesus and proceeded to spin around for 3 hours while the entire crowd sand his songs for him. Absolutely abysmal show.

    Hopefully this is the last we need to hear and see of this jackass, but time will tell.

    grabs arm “I looked down and it was Jared Leto.”

    Now there is a Tumblr meme waiting to happen.

        No shit. I heard they were finally making a sequel to Legacy then I heard starring Jared Pedo and all my hopes were flushed.

        It just sad, Id have pretty surely watched it if it wasn’t for him. Now I haven’t even watched a trailer or anything (not even sure there is one yet) and won’t give it even a millisecond of thought.

    It’s kind of interesting how all of these guys will have these stories attached to them for years until anyone cares.

    Sorta like Cosby - people knew, but nobody gave a shit until Hannibal Buress started calling it out.

    They get away with it for years, live glamorous wealthy lives that give them access to tons of victims, and if they are ever punished it doesn’t last long.

      The thing is, people knew Jimmy Savile was dodgy…women spoke to people on set and even teachers, coppers caught him in awkward situations…the guy just went on and on til he died. I get why women don’t speak up cause there’s so much risk of ridicule.

    They’re really burying the lede here. The closing paragraphs of the article:

    The woman added that once, when she was 18, Leto “suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating”. She told the outlet: “Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said: ‘I want you to spit on it.’”

    Another woman, Allie Teilz, a Los Angeles-based DJ and music producer, last month on Instagram reposted a 2012 Facebook status in which she had said: “Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt… And a snow hat,” Air Mail reported.

    In her Instagram stories, which Air Mail reviewed, Teilz said: “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.”

      Yeah, that seems a bit more than “sexual impropriety” (which sounds like hes’s being accused of premarital sex or something).

    He’s been known to write inappropriate texts to underage girls for a while now, this is likely just the tip of the yuck-berg.

    Reading the article, that dude just sounds like a sad person with no true hope in life.

    Nevertheless, she said, Leto kept calling her, “always at one, two, three AM”. “And the conversations turned sexual. He’d ask things like: ‘Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a dick?’” she told Air Mail.

    Sounds like a drunk alcoholic.
