I'm not going to be able to watch Thirty Seconds to Mars or enjoy Jared Leto's acting performances in movies like Dallas Buyers Club anymore, as the entertainment industry's alleged misconduct by celebrities, such as Leto, has tarnished their reputation for me.
In the midst of these allegations, it's disappointing that Jared Leto's team continues to deny his involvement in inappropriate behavior towards underage girls, making entertainment choices trickier for fans who value ethical conduct from their celebrities.
