Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yep there's been rumours about him for years, this just confirms suspicions
Only nine?
They're really burying the lede here. The closing paragraphs of the article:
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.’”
Another woman, Allie Teilz, a Los Angeles-based DJ and music producer, last month on Instagram reposted a 2012 Facebook status in which she had said: “Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat,” Air Mail reported.
In her Instagram stories, which Air Mail reviewed, Teilz said: “I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17 … He knew my age and didn’t care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”
Yeah, that seems a bit more than "sexual impropriety" (which sounds like hes's being accused of premarital sex or something).
Wait, sex before marriage is improper now?
this came out of nowhere. so shocking. jerod leto of all people. i can't believe it. he seems like such a stand up guy.
Cult leader found to be guilty of doing cult leader shit
It’s kind of interesting how all of these guys will have these stories attached to them for years until anyone cares.
Sorta like Cosby - people knew, but nobody gave a shit until Hannibal Buress started calling it out.
They get away with it for years, live glamorous wealthy lives that give them access to tons of victims, and if they are ever punished it doesn’t last long.
The thing is, people knew Jimmy Savile was dodgy…women spoke to people on set and even teachers, coppers caught him in awkward situations…the guy just went on and on til he died. I get why women don’t speak up cause there’s so much risk of ridicule.

I can't stand this asshole and don't understand how he keeps nailing acting roles in top movies of genres I love. Anytime I see him cast in a movie I'm interested in, it just deflates my anticipation to almost zero.
30 Second to Mars used to be top tier like 10-15 years ago, but after seeing him about 5 years ago I've lost all respect for him in all aspects of his career. He took the stage dressed like Jesus and proceeded to spin around for 3 hours while the entire crowd sand his songs for him. Absolutely abysmal show.
Hopefully this is the last we need to hear and see of this jackass, but time will tell.
30 Seconds to Mars was so bad when I saw them live that I left early.

The weird thing with Jared Leto is that I've never felt he's been very successful, yet he's always had bunch of people hyping him. I can't think of him being a leading actor in anything I've ever seen. He's always been lower down the bill. You look at all his award nominations on IMDb and 90% of them are "supporting actor".
So why is he a name? I always put it down to him being involved with the "right" people in Hollywood. Those people obviously being very wrong.
I mean... he's had plenty of starring roles, and his acting has won him both awards and acclaim. Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things - and that's not including his clunkers. He's still an in-demand actor with 30 years of work behind him. Not everyone makes a career that good in Hollywood.
I think he's an asshole. But he's a talented asshole.
Lord of war was great

It's Morbin time.
Hollywood is a network of interlocking blackmail. They all know each other's dirty little secrets and Leto has a sex cult island he's using as a honey pot to get a bit more dirt on other people then they do on him.
I think there's a couple reasons. He did make some really good music, and he has a very recognizable face in that he kind of looks like Jesus lol

He is the lead singer of "30 Seconds to Mars". That's where his fame came from originally.
His appearance in movies has always been a weird "let's shove this famous guy from one media into this other one for publicity" kinda thing. Then for some reason he just stayed doing movies and here we are.

I know the writer and editor had a lot of options to go through when choosing a lead photo for this story, but I think they must've simultaneously said "that's the one" when they got to this pic.
He's been known to write inappropriate texts to underage girls for a while now, this is likely just the tip of the yuck-berg.
In no way foreseeable. Blindsiding. Absolute mystery. Textbook head-scratcher. No way possible at all to have known beforehand that this behavior was happening with so charismatic and trustworthy an individual.

It's morblesting time!
Long history of rockstar pedo’s. Anybody remember the sicko emo singer doing stuff with babies?

What will this mean for Morbius 2?
They might have to take the electric out of boogaloo.
Why do I confuse him with Russell Brand? Oh yeah, now I get it.
Too bad he's not a US citizen, he would have been a great candidate for a role in the current administration as a special counselor for women's rights or something. Maybe a gofundme? Golden citizenships are only 5 millions right now.
Jared Leto is from Louisiana
Don't give Trump ideas!!! He'll fucking hire him

I guess the new TRON movie will be pushed back
Why the fuck did he have to get cast in this?
No shit. I heard they were finally making a sequel to Legacy then I heard starring Jared Pedo and all my hopes were flushed.
