What did Dylan Sprouse tweet about Jared Leto?
According to Page Six, Sprouse posted on X (then Twitter) in May 2018: "Yo @JaredLeto now that you've slid into the dm's of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?"
Sprouse was 25 and newly dating model Barbara Palvin, then 24. Leto was 46. The jab was public shade at the time, not a formal accusation of assault.
Gunn, then 51, entered the thread with a since-deleted reply: "He starts at 18 on the Internet?" Page Six reported the comment as seemingly accusing Leto of seeking out underage girls. Reps for Sprouse, Palvin, and Gunn did not immediately respond to Page Six.
Why are the old tweets resurfacing now?
The posts are circulating again after the BBC documentary "Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret." Ten women detailed alleged traumatic sexual encounters — including assault — with Leto, now 54, from 2002 to 2016. Four of the ten alleged they were underage at the time.
Two men who previously worked with Leto's band, 30 Seconds to Mars, also appeared in the film. They said they and others were uncomfortable with the frontman's interactions with teenage girls, including invites backstage, to his dressing room, and to his home.
The documentary landed about a year after a June 2025 exposé in which nine women accused the Oscar winner of inappropriate sexual behavior, with many said to have been underage then. Together, those reports have pushed older online comments back into view.
How has Jared Leto responded to the allegations?
Leto branded the newest claims "absolutely and categorically false." In a statement to Page Six, he insisted, "I have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life." He had also "expressly denied" the June 2025 accusations.
