It's always the ones you most expect.

Maybe I'm an asshole but this didn't surprise me at all

These allegations have been around for years, which might be why you're not surprised

[–] sychthys@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Nah, I'm with you. Completely unsurprising.

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago

Same, not surprising in the least.

Why would anyone be surprised when a cult leader is accused of sexual misconduct?

Nah, he gives me that creepy feeling.

He has that creep factor.

Least surprising news ever.

My ex once told me the story about how he tried to seduce her when she was 15 and he was 30. She went to see Thirty Seconds to Mars (his band) and had a backstage pass. She was just a fan. He got really weird and handsy and she got really uncomfortable and made an excuse to get out of there. Needless to say, she wasn't a fan after that, and when she got older and processed it with an adult brain, he basically disgusted her on sight. Since then I've had the same reaction to him for the last 20 years.

She was very pretty (and still is), but she definitely looked underage at the time.

Yesterday I said Jared leto is gross and I don't like him. Today he gets accused of sexual misconduct.

I remember hearing about this disgusting sex pest going back to 30 seconds to Mars days let alone the current day shit that he's allegedly involved with. 100% expected a news about Leto.

Hopefully Hollywood drops him like Kevin Spacey.

I was telling a friend recently that him and james franco are way overdue for a reckoning. Known groomers for decades.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

James Franco allegations came out 4 years ago.

[–] Eldritch@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Yet he still walks free. Which is my whole point.
