Four women accuse actor Jared Leto of sexual misconduct in BBC documentary

On July 29, 2026, a new BBC documentary titled 'Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret' was released, featuring serious allegations of criminal sexual misconduct against actor and musician Jared Leto. The report, which investigates claims spanning from 2002 to 2016, includes testimonies from four women who allege the incidents occurred when they were minors or very young adults.

Specific allegations detailed in the film include a sexual assault in a motel bathroom, a threat of sexual assault at age 19, an encounter in California with a 17-year-old, and repeated inappropriate sexual phone calls and propositions made to a 16-year-old. The documentary further reports that the actor allegedly attempted to force the fourth woman to sign a non-disclosure agreement to silence her, which she refused.

These accusations follow a series of claims regarding inappropriate conduct by the Academy Award winner. While the documentary serves as the primary source for these specific allegations, there is currently no mention of formal legal charges filed against Leto in court, though the claims have sparked significant public discourse regarding his past behavior.
