A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Reading the article, that dude just sounds like a sad person with no true hope in life.
Nevertheless, she said, Leto kept calling her, “always at one, two, three AM”. “And the conversations turned sexual. He’d ask things like: ‘Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a dick?’” she told Air Mail.
Sounds like a drunk alcoholic.
well, there goes the new Tron movie...
Why do I confuse him with Russell Brand? Oh yeah, now I get it.
Just nine? The dude has a sex cult island.
Yeah but they are into it. People ate weirdos
Just nine... for now
It's always the ones you most suspect.
Yep there's been rumours about him for years, this just confirms suspicions
Only nine?
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.
Dallas Buyers Club
For which he won his oscar for Actor in a supporting role
House of Gucci
Supporting role behind Lady Gaga and Adam Driver
The Little Things
Nominated at Golden Gloves and SAG awards for best supporting role.
I'll give you Requiem and Mr Nobody, however there's no denying he doesn't carry films in general. He's an award winning supporting actor.
Lord of war was great
Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things
and Bladerunner 2049.
The Ryan Gosling film with Harrison Ford.
Aren't you proving my point?
He was great in that as well. I didn't include it because he wasn't in the ads for the movie, and so "we" weren't sold a seat based on his participation, but good callout.
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.
Well, yeah, he and the guy from Live (the music band) both had cameos in Fight Club. also Meatloaf. also Brad Pitt is college pals with Sheryl Crow. I'm sure I could notice more, but I'm not interested in deep diving shit that reminds me of pretty mediocre times from High School, and largely falls flat as my adult life faced FAR more bullshit than disaffected 20 year old's in the 90's could have ever dared dream, my 20's was defined by terror attacks, mass war, economic meltdown and the slow burn of manufactured consent pulling us all the way into fascism.
I had no idea he was in a band. Dude was from My So Called Life.
Jordan Catalano
Never heard of that show. Always knew him from the band growing up and was surprised as hell to learn he did film.
How old are you? That might have something to do with it. I'm 42, so Jared Leto was pretty famous for me in 1994
32
It's absolutely an age thing. Show was before my time but grew up in the heyday of 30 Seconds to Mars
Interesting perspective. I'm 33 and I watched My So Called Life religiously. I forgot he was in it, I know him most from Dallas Buyer's Club in a supporting role. I've never heard of 30 seconds to Mars until now (but if you name a song I'd probably have a light bulb moment and recognize the song, not the band)
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.
It's Morbin time.
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
His music completely passed me by. I've only ever known him as an actor.
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.
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).
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.
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
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.
