    A cult leader grooming young girls? It’d be great if people tried something new

    No! Not Jordan Catalano!

    Actually, totally yes. Leto is a walking hollywood predator cliche.

    I always hated this prick; I’m not happy about the way my contempt is now justified.

    I just thought his band sucked ass. Like, pathetically awful. I never knew he was a cult leader of some sort.

    But it tracks, unfortunately.

    So allegedly he hits on 16 year old girls and talks dirty to them. So far it’s more of a red flag than “me too” type story.

      The woman added that once, when she was 18, Leto “suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating”. She told the outlet: “Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said: ‘I want you to spit on it.’”

      I mean, if that’s just a ‘red flag’ to you

        There’s no context here. In some circumstances that could be normal (like if they had sex and did similar things before). It he did it out of nowhere, Louis C.K. style, that’s sexual assault be from this one quote it’s now clear how/when it happened.

        Remember when some women accused Aziz Ansari of “sexual misconduct” and then described a typical hookup during which she told Aziz to stop and he did? Not all allegations are about rape. For now we know Leto is into young girls and weird stuff. That’s it.
