Jared Leto is making headlines after the release of a documentary on the Oscar-winning actor. The BBC’s Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret – includes interviews with multiple women who make claims of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior allegedly committed between 2002 and 2026. Leto has since denied the claims. Meanwhile, a tweet about Leto (54) that was shared by Dylan Sprouse years ago is now resurfacing. That post’s resurgence also coincides with more claims about Leto’s behavior off camera.
Dylan Sprouse’s Social Media Post Gains Attention Again
The social media message from now-33-year-old Sprouse was originally posted back in 2018 on X (then known as Twitter). In it, the former Disney Channel star specifically tagged Leto’s since-deleted account and accused Leto (who was 46 at the time) of having sent direct messages to multiple female models between the ages of 18 and 25. Sprouse’s post can be seen in its entirety below:
Yo [Jared Leto] now that you’ve slid into the dm’s of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?
Since it was posted, Sprouse’s response has garnered hundreds of comments and, as of this writing, it’s amassed over 37,000 likes. Exactly how many of those comments and likes were just recently added amidst recent allegations against Leto is unclear. However, some are evidently citing the Beautiful Wedding star’s post when talking about Leto now. One X user recently shared a screenshot of Sprouse’s message and along with a since-deleted response from filmmaker James Gunn:
So Dylan Sprouse and @JamesGunn cooked here. It should not have taken this long for Jared Leto’s downfall. pic.twitter.com/1hdDYaqZI8July 29, 2026
As of this writing, neither Sprouse nor Gunn have further addressed the comments they posted years ago. In the meantime, claims about the way Leto purportedly conducts himself in his personal life are still coming down the pipeline.
A Bartender Shares Claims About An Encounter With Jared Leto
Bartender Gracelisa Akers recently spoke to Page Six about meeting Leto in April 2011, at which point she was 25. Akers said she met Leto while she was working at a Michigan-based bar known as The Orbit Room. Per Akers, an interaction was initiated after Leto purportedly sent a member of his team to let her know he wanted to talk to her. The Little Things star apparently elbowed Akers, telling her he was a “germaphobe” and, in time, they exchanged numbers, with the star also inviting her to his dressing room.
Akers eventually went to the room, where fellow bar staffers and Leto’s bandmates were apparently present and, upon seeing her, the Masters of the Universe star “immediately beelined” for her. It was Akers’ belief that Leto “was looking for a hook up,” but she was not interested in that. Of that evening, the bartender went on to allege:
He offered me a drink and I said no. That was the first red flag – he seemed to be irritated, but I said ‘I have to drive home.’ And he was certainly not a germaphobe, he was grabbing at me, playing with my hair, his hands were around my waist and on my hips and he was trying to hold my hand. But it was very one sided, I thought ‘hey buddy, I’m not into you.’ I thought ‘take no for an answer dude, you’re not getting laid tonight.’
Akers then alleged that Leto began to get handsy and “irritated” as his crew prepared to leave for Denny’s. Allegedly, Leto “cornered” Akers at her car and tried to convince her to skip the restaurant and just hang out alone. Akers told him she felt “uncomfortable” and eventually left, though she also claimed the actor subsequently sent her texts and photos, including a picture seemingly taken after Leto had taken a shower.
In addition to claims like Akers’, behind-the-scenes stories involving Jared Leto’s supposed conduct on movie sets has also made the rounds as of late. Such claims include “odd” requests as well as behavior supposedly linked to Leto’s method actor mentality. Whether other claims or past posts like Dylan Sprouse’s or James Gunn’s will resurface remains to be seen.
