Weren&#8217;t there supposed to be other people?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAlex claimed Leto refused her request for a phone charger or cash so she could get home, and then asked if she could sleep on the chaise longue in the room.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe alleged the Fight Club star responded by saying that if she did, she would wake up &#8220;with a d*** in her a**&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter repeating the response several times, Alex felt she was &#8220;not safe&#8221; and left the room, and later texted a friend to tell her what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\nHer pal replied: &#8220;He was threatening sexual assault, you should report him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile she tried to dismiss what had happened, Alex now believes the encounter had been  &#8220;all planned out&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: &#8220;The assistant knew what to say, to lure me into his hotel room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDespite repeated attempts to contact Leto for the BBC documentary, he has not responded to the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\nJared Leto: Hollywood&#8217;s Dark Secret is available on iPlayer now, and airs on BBC Three at 9pm and BBC One at 22.45pm on Wednesday (29.07.26).<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jared-leto-allegedly-declared-age-just-number-advances-young-fans-1448236.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>29 July 2026 Jared Leto allegedly asked a 17-year-old fan to &#8220;call [him] daddy&#8221; when they had sex.
