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

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 44 points 4 days ago

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

[-] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 days ago

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

[-] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 15 points 4 days ago

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

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.

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

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.

Usually they get excused if they're talented. This dude isn't even a great actor

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 33 points 4 days ago

It's always the people you most expect

[-] bamboo 9 points 4 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 10 points 4 days ago

Good interrobang usage‽ Hell yeah

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!

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

[-] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 29 points 4 days ago

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

[-] TheImpressiveX@piefed.social 21 points 4 days ago

He already thinks he is Jesus.

Following the Russel Brand playbook.

[-] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

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

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

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 3 days ago

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

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days 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.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

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

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

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

[-] warm@kbin.earth 6 points 4 days ago

He is such a subpar actor, I don't know how he got cast anyway.

[-] BottleBoardBakon@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

I liked when he got beat up in fight club

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

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 12 points 4 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

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

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

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

This guy has a cult? Really?

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

It's always the ones you'd expect.

[-] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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

[-] ncc74656@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

To the shock and awe of...no one

[-] velma@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'll be shocked if he actually faces any consequences beyond a scathing article.

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

[-] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Maybe he just showed up on the set one day, stabbed a lady in front of a rolling camera, did a creepy monologue about having billions of children, and then they wrote him a part around that so they wouldn't need to stop production while a murder investigation was carried out.

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