    How does this man still have a career, we’ve known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

      You’re confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?

            Well, I’d hazard an alternative: I believe what the settlers did – after the murderers cleared the American population out of their new home – standing up and challenging the leadership, even, if necessary, forming a cohesive army of rebels to violently fight for rights they deemed at the time absolutely vital and worth suck a barbaric act as killing for, is something I appreciate. The mistake was her people letting the leadership bring the country down quicker than any grieving Middle-Eastern victim turned international activist.

              Ha! That’s rich. Americans are too lazy and self entitled to have an actual revolution. Half would spiral into existential crisis if the lights went out, and the other half would be politicizing why the lights were on in the first place.

              The /mistake/ appears to have been Jefferson/Madison not lining the God-botherers up against a wall and shooting them when they had a chance.

      Like most predators. Everyone knows for decades and hardly anyone does anything about it. The ones who speak up are called sluts, liars, clout-seekers, attention whores, etc.

      I feel like this is why we keep seeing him in movies despite the fact he’s box office kryptonite.

      He’s somebody’s favorite sex pest.

    You mean to tell me that the creepy weirdo that seems to run a sex cult with himself as the object of worship is a sex pest‽ That seems unlikely! (/s)

      Right?? I’m shocked of this news from the guy who may or may not have sent used condoms to his Suicide Squad co-stars in the pursuit of “method acting”

    So he’s a sexual predator and all his movies flop? Quick, cast him as a lead role in our next movie with a $250 million budget!

    This dude and Russel Brand are the biggest “I’m not surprised in the least” that they have accusations against them. Always got creepy vibes from both of them

    I find it interesting the article ends saying there’s 9 accusations back in 2025. I’m curious if these ones are additional accusations or some of those 9

    In a report in Air Mail in June 2025, nine women accused Leto of engaging in inappropriate behavior over the years

      To be fair, he “plays” a good creep. I don’t think he takes away from the movie, which is something, but I wish it didn’t give him employment.

        Maybe he just showed up on the set one day, stabbed a lady in front of a rolling camera, did a creepy monologue about having billions of children, and then they wrote him a part around that so they wouldn’t need to stop production while a murder investigation was carried out.

      I kinda feel the same way, but if you need someone to play a self obsessed megalomaniac with a god complex…

      And be really convincing…

      We’re all not surprised, but he’s still not in court. He’s still not in jail. He’s still allowed to rape girls at his leisure.

          Yes exactly. It’s maddening to see the same sentiment over and over - this isn’t a surprise, it’s the ones you most expect, we’ve heard about this for decades.

          And absolutely nothing has happened to him.
