BBC Film Accuses Jared Leto of Criminal Sexual Conduct Against 10 Women as Industry Faces MeToo Test
3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Jul 30
Summary
10 women are featured in the BBC documentary, with four accusing Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct; Leto issued a denial hours after release, calling the claims “absolutely and categorically false.”
Two allegations were central to the film: one woman said she had sex with Leto at 17 in California in 2006, and another alleged he sexually assaulted her in Las Vegas in 2002.
120 online accusations about Leto’s behavior toward women were counted by the BBC team, which said it spent more than a year building the case after a 2025 Instagram post by DJ Allie Teilz revived scrutiny.
BBC producers called the documentary a bellwether for MeToo, arguing Hollywood’s response could show whether serious allegations still carry consequences for a powerful actor and musician.
