Jared Leto is facing allegations from nine women of inappropriate behavior, including with teenage girls.

The frontman of 30 Seconds to Mars and star of films including House Of Gucci and Suicide Squad, 53, is alleged to have inflicted the behavior on them over the course of nearly two decades, and the accusations involve women who say they were teenagers at the time of the alleged incidents.

According to an exposé published by Air Mail, the claims, which have apparently circulated in Hollywood for years, have now been brought into the open, with one woman stating to the outlet: ‘It’s been an open secret for a long time.’

The accusations came to light after Los Angeles–based DJ Allie Teilz, 30, re-shared a 2012 Facebook post on her Instagram Stories, in which she alleged Leto assaulted her when she was 17.

‘You’re not really in LA until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… in a kilt… And a snow hat,’ she claimed. ‘I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.’

She further alleged that Leto — who was previously called out by other Hollywood stars for being ‘full of himself’ — ‘knew’ her age but ‘didn’t care,’ describing his actions as ‘predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.’

Reps for Leto haven’t yet responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.

A second woman, whose name was not revealed, told Air Mail that Leto approached her in 2006 when she was 16 at Urth Caffé in Los Angeles.

At the time, he was allegedly visiting the popular cafe with Ashley Olsen, whom he had been rumored to be in a relationship with at the time.

‘I looked down and it was Jared Leto. We had a quick conversation, and he got my number,’ she claimed.

The woman alleged that he called her days later, adding: ‘I don’t know if he was on drugs or what… it was the weirdest, grossest voice… [but] for me, it’s Jared, you know?’

The woman alleged their late-night conversations ‘turned sexual,’ and she claimed that Leto asked questions including, ‘Have you ever had a boyfriend?’ and ‘Have you ever sucked a d***?’

Model Laura La Rue, 33, also alleged that she met Leto in 2008, when she was 16 and he was 36, at a Yes! on Prop Two animal rights benefit.

‘He asked how old I was,’ she alleged. ‘I said, “I’m 16. How old are you?”‘

La Rue claimed Leto still asked for her number despite knowing her age, and she said he later invited her to his Los Angeles home, where he was ‘flirting’ and ‘teasing [her] the whole time [she] was there.’

Leto’s representative denied all of the women’s accounts in a statement to Air Mail: ‘Their communications contain nothing sexual or inappropriate and Ms. La Rue later applied to work as Mr. Leto’s personal assistant, further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.’

But La Rue denied applying for such a role.

Sources quoted in the article described parties at Leto’s Los Angeles home and said they had a ratio of 60 ‘very young women to four or five men,’ and they claimed that guests were encouraged to go skinny dipping at the events.

Jared’s publicist stated that the actor ‘has not had a drink or used drugs in over 35 years.’
