Jared Leto has responded to allegations of sexual misconduct from several women made in a new BBC report and documentary.
The BBC spoke to 10 women for its new documentary, Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret, with nine of the women speaking out publicly for the first time, according to a companion report published Wednesday.
Five women alleged that they received sexual phone calls from the actor, the BBC reported. Of those, four allege they were teenagers at the time, the report states.
ABC News has not independently verified the allegations in the BBC report.
Leto responded to the allegations in a statement to ABC News on Wednesday.
“I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life,” he said. “These claims are absolutely and categorically false.”
The allegations of sexual misconduct against Leto in the report include allegations he sexually assaulted a girl in a motel bathroom when she was 17 years old, a threat of sexual assault against a 19-year-old and an allegation that Leto groomed a girl by making sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was 16. Another woman included in the report accused Leto of statutory rape, saying she was 17 years old at the time of the alleged assault, which she alleged took place in California, where the age of consent is 18.
One woman included in the report described an alleged interaction with Leto in which she claimed he made an inappropriate sexual remark to her at a music festival when she was 14 years old. The woman claimed Leto made the comment in front of her mother, who confronted him about the comment, which she said he dismissed, according to the BBC report.
All of the women in the BBC report said their alleged encounters with Leto occurred between 2002 and 2016.
Leto has faced allegations of sexual impropriety previously. In 2025, Air Mail reported allegations from nine women who claimed Leto had acted in a sexually inappropriate manner with them or made sexually explicit remarks to them that made them feel uncomfortable. Leto “expressly denied” the accusations in a statement to the outlet through his representative.
ABC News also reached out to Leto for comment on the allegations detailed in Air Mail’s report.
Leto has been acting since the early ’90s and most recently appeared in the film Masters of the Universe. He earned an Academy Award in 2014 for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, in which he starred opposite that year’s best actor Oscar winner, Matthew McConaughey.
Beyond acting, Leto has found success with his rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, which he formed with his brother, Shannon Leto, in 1998.

Outer Banks is starting up its final adventure.
Netflix has released the official trailer for the drama series’ fifth and final season.
Returning to the show are series regulars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant, Austin North and Fiona Palomo. J. Anthony Crane and Cullen Moss have also been upped to series regulars for the final season.
This new season finds the Pogues “at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco. Stranded far from home and mourning the heart of their crew, they’ve lost the Blue Crown and continue to face a gauntlet of familiar threats,” according to its official description. “With Chandler Groff still at large, Dalia and the Corsairs closing in, and the Kooks ensuring the Pogues have no home to return to, John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo must rely on their scrappy instincts—and an uneasy alliance with Rafe—to keep from falling apart for good.”
This new mission is now a race to “reclaim their future and finally win the freedom they’ve been chasing since the beginning,” the description continues. “It’s the Pogues against the world as they seek to avenge their best friend and bring it on home…one final time.”
The trailer finds the Pogues setting off on their last adventure.
“We’re the Pogues. The throwaway fish, the lowest member of the food chain. Which means we do whatever we want, whenever we want,” Stokes’ John B says. “Or at least, once upon a time we did.”
Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke are the creators of Outer Banks. Season 5 consists of 10 hourlong episodes that debut on Aug. 20.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter, Suri, has dropped her famous last name, according to Page Six.

According to Broadway World, Noelle is slated to star in Midsummer!, a modern take on a Shakespeare classic, with other college students in Pittsburgh later this week.
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Cruise and Holmes for comment.
The former couple announced their daughter’s birth in April 2006, a year after they began dating. The pair were married in November that same year and divorced in 2012.
In 2023, Holmes spoke about her daughter in an interview with Glamour, where she emphasized the importance of privacy.
“What has been really important for me with my daughter, because she was so visible at a young age, is I really like to protect her,” Holmes said.
She added, “I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.”
