Sexual violence themes

Multiple women come forward with sexual abuse and misconduct claims against Jared Leto dating back to when they were teenagers (the youngest being 14) and Leto was significantly older.

The women interviewed describe their experiences with Leto in detail, including specific acts of abuse and harassment, the emotional destruction it caused, and how it was facilitated by assistants and crew.
