Basically, women have been accusing Jared Leto of this shit for 20-ish years now and despite the fact that claims keep popping up from various sources again and again and again, they largely get ignored as "rumors" like they did with Cosby and probably will continue to be ignored until one of these sources goes on record with a court of law somewhere.
I... am not sure what to say. That article in particular claims James Gunn responded to a tweet, but clicking on it says "page does not exist". That website is owned by a Gen Z media influencer company. So I am again...I want to believe women without question, but I'd like to see the actual accounts/accusations on their actual social media rather than things "resposted" on sites I can't determine the credibility of. If there is that much chatter about it though, it is likely true and that makes me so fucking sad. I can't like things anymore. They will always disappoint me.
I shall now go put Stanley Tucci and Dolly Parton inside bubble wrap for protection because I swear to God if they get outted as horrible people somehow, I am gonna just give up on the universe.
Yeah, that's the thing. I would much prefer these accusations be reported in credible sources, with criminal investigations and legal actions attached, for a large number of reasons.
But this isn't the same single account popping up here and there and maybe under this thing every few years when people do a Wayback Machine search or something. It's very similar accusations, made by a number of people, consistently, over several decades. So I think it's pretty safe to say they're likely true. Especially because patterns like this being known in certain circles and no one doing anything about them for years is usually the "backstory" when these people finally do get their ass dragged into the light and/or court, which is what I'm really hoping happens.
It also probably won't because most victims don't come forward when it's just some random asshole and the usual trauma of the "justice" system they're dealing with. Nevermind when there's millions of dollars, a small army of lawyers, and a PR firm screaming "libel" in their face.
