Actor and American singer Jared Leto denied on Wednesday the allegations of sexual assault and harassment brought against him by ten women in a new documentary broadcast by the BBC.

The women claim to have been victims of the star between 2002 and 2016. Two of them accused him of sexual assault when they were 17 years old, while another stated that at age 19, the actor threatened her with a similar assault. A fourth woman reported receiving multiple sexually explicit phone calls from Leto when she was 16 years old, during which he allegedly proposed sleeping with her. Four other women spoke of sexual harassment during phone calls with the lead vocalist of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars.

"I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life," stated Leto, 54, in a statement released through his representatives. "These allegations are absolutely and categorically false," he emphasized.

Nine of the ten women share their testimonies for the first time in this BBC documentary titled "Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret."

This is not the first time that Leto, winner of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club," has been accused of this type of misconduct. In 2025, several other women accused him of sexual assault, notably in an investigation published by the digital American magazine Air Mail. On that occasion, Leto also denied any inappropriate behavior.
