He has always had a strong "sex pest" kinda vibe about him....

It's always the ones you most expect.

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

Along that same line of thinking...

I couldn't remember if the "Could have sworn..." Onion article had been Jared Leto. Apparently it was Russel Brand.

I honestly thought this had already happened, I did hear about him having cult leader vibes.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 34 points 2 days ago

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

[–] sychthys@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Nah, I'm with you. Completely unsurprising.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

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

[–] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Nah, he gives me that creepy feeling.

He has that creep factor.

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

Same, not surprising in the least.

[–] xyzzy@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago

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.

Shocked.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

It seems this is a common issue these days.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Hopefully Hollywood drops him like Kevin Spacey.
