In May 2018, Sprouse tweeted, \u201cYo @JaredLeto now that you\u2019ve slid into the dm\u2019s of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?\u201d<\/p>\n

Director James Gunn, who was 51 at the time, entered the chat and replied in a since-deleted comment, \u201cHe starts at 18 on the Internet?\u201d seemingly accusing Leto of seeking out underage girls.<\/p>\n

Reps for Sprouse, Palvin and Gunn did not immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

However, Leto branded the new claims \u201cabsolutely and categorically false\u201d<\/a> earlier this week, insisting to us in a statement, \u201cI have never sexually assaulted anyone in my entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The denial was in response to the disturbing allegations made in the BBC documentary \u201cJared Leto: Hollywood\u2019s Dark Secret,\u201d which featured accounts from 10 women detailing traumatic sexual encounters \u2014 including assault \u2014 with the now-54-year-old between 2002 and 2016.<\/p>\n

Four of the ten even alleged they were underage at the time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The documentary also featured interviews with two men who previously worked with Leto\u2019s band, 30 Seconds to Mars. The men said they and others were uncomfortable with the frontman\u2019s alleged interactions with teenage girls, including inviting them backstage, to his dressing room and to his home.<\/p>\n
