Jared Leto is facing fresh allegations from a former colleague who says he was difficult to work with during a Thirty Seconds to Mars tour. In a report published by New York Post’s Page Six, the former coworker describes Leto’s backstage behavior as “horrible” and “uncomfortable,” and characterizes it in strongly negative terms. Times of India reports similar claims, stating that the former colleague depicts Leto as having exhibited “horrible” conduct during the tour.
The new accusations arrive as Leto is also facing broader sexual misconduct allegations. According to the outlets, a documentary has renewed attention on claims involving women and Leto’s interactions in the past, including allegations involving teenage women. Leto denies the allegations described in the documentary, and has not provided a direct response to the latest reporting about his workplace behavior. The reports present the colleague’s accounts as separate from the sexual misconduct allegations, while noting that both sets of claims are being discussed publicly at the same time.
