Little note: The article below is not written by me but by Echelon Detective on Tumblr! I added the link of the orignal article below:
I think I have officially seen it all, and I am tired of it.
Numerous Podcasts, Teenage Tik Tok know it all’s, & rude, ill researched & defamatory statements and comments all over the internet. That By the way, have absolutely no basis in hard facts. Rumor, conjecture, lies, and vitriol spewed forth from the uneducated, lazy, social media half-baked reporters who clearly do not realize what it takes to write an educated article of journalistic quality. (Not that I am one either, but I digress.) Not even one of these accusations is based off a firsthand account, nor are there any reliable sources set forth as evidence to their accusatory statements. It’s simply second hand “accounts” off a groupie website, which was disseminated from an old fan-fiction and blown way out of proportion.
Here's a little tip for every one of the haters out there. Unless your name is Google, stop acting like you know everything. There, I said it. (PS btw, even google can be wrong.)
No matter how many times social media wanna-be journos are advised this, they simply brush it off. The truth doesn’t sell, nor will it bring them the clout & attention they crave so desperately. It certainly won’t help them gain followers so they can monetize their accounts. But what about the man you’re defaming? What about his hard work in life that you, did not achieve? That’s the crux of it ultimately, the fact that you, are not nearly as successful and blessed in life. So, you seek to defame and destroy a human being who does not deserve to be destroyed.
Let’s examine some of the accusations.
“His Jesus Like Hair”
Historians believe Jesus had short hair. He was middle eastern (Jared is not) Jesus was clearly a Jewish male. (Jared is not). Based on known traditions of the period, He was likely a little over five feet tall, (Jared is much Taller) had Middle Eastern skin tones, (Jared does not) short dark hair, (Jared clearly does not) and a full beard. According to Luke, Jesus was also circumcised as an infant, (aren’t most men cut nowadays for sanitary reasons?) according to Jewish custom. Everyone thinks they know what Jesus looks like. He is the most painted figure in all Western art, recognized everywhere as having long hair and a beard. But the fact is that Jesus lived over 2,000 years ago and no one alive now, knows what he truly looked like, so this statement is just absurd and ridiculous.
“His Erratic on set antics”
Sigh Humans. How many times must you be told that those “antics” were embellished by Jared himself. He has also denied these rumors explicitly a gazillion times.
A. The Condoms were NOT USED.
B. Will joked about the ANAL beads, AND btw Jared uses Sarcasm, and Light-hearted jokes but like he says below, this is what you people love to do. Twist stories to sensationalize & make it worse than it ever was. You don't have to understand it. It wasn't given to you, so move on. Oh, and kiss his ass if you do not like how he works. I happen to agree with him. “People are gonna go with the story that they want to run"
C. The Rat WAS ALIVE, Margot named him Rat Rat. Her landlord however was not keen to it, so she gave Rat Rat to Jai and Jai couldn’t keep him. So, he went to live with Guillermo del Toro & now he has custody of Rat Rat.
D. What’s wrong with a bag of bullets? Will was playing a character by the name of DEADSHOT who was know for being an “accurate shot”
E. A dead HOG is EXACTLY what the Joker would do. BTW, the cast also got a video & I Quote “"Basically, what he said was, 'Guys, I can't be there, but I want you to know I'm doing my work as hard as you guys,'" Adam Beach said. "The video he showed is in character. It blew our minds away. Then we realized that day, this is real."
Jared doesn’t come to play. He goes all in. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s his craft, his art. He has his method. What works for someone else, may not work for him and vice versa. Stop trying to find fault where there is none.
Oh, here is the link to the story of Rat Rat
And here is a link to other notable Method Actors of Which Jared is #9.
But hey when Pacino and DeNiro note you as one of their favorites and praise you, do you really need Internet trolls to approve of your skills? I think not.
“Fanatical 30 Seconds to Mars Fandom”
Have you not seen BTS fans? Or Beliebers? How about Michael Jackson fans? Or any die-hard core fanbase of a band? Again, just because you don’t like him, you seek to find fault. Ask yourself the following.
1 - Why does it bother me that people want to go to an Island in Croatia for a weekend and hang out with their favorite band & their friends from all over the world?
2 - What business is it of yours?
3 - Is it your money?!
4 - Does it disrupt your day-to-day life?
5 - Why don’t you go learn something new?
6 - Who am I to judge other people?
7 - Am I just jealous I can’t do the same?
Clue. You don’t have to understand it. That’s where the saying “Its Only for Those Who Understand” comes from. The fanbase is sick and tired of bullies, such as these podcasts and others around the internet, telling us how we should spend our hard-earned money & that it shouldn’t be on Thirty Seconds to Mars because you do not like them. It’s OK for you to go to Coachella though, right? Who are you to tell us what to spend our money on and whom?
Mars Island has since been cancelled due to COVID on going as well as the Ukraine situation. Mars does not feel comfortable proceeding when they cannot guarantee everyone's utmost safety. Therefore, I cannot pull prices for you at this time. But I can say that in comparison to some other band cruises and festivals, their prices are considerably more achievable. We don't see anyone out here tearing apart Motley Crue vip TICKETS FOR OVER 2 GRAND THOUGH, DO WE? Or Bon Jovi's Cruise for over 5 grand!
I will say this. When we had Camp Mars in Malibu, and on the Island, we had the best time. You didn't have to worry about being a wife or Mom, Dad, or husband, what to make for dinner, what is work doing, picking up or dropping off the kids, schoolwork or anything else. It was an escape from reality that I miss terribly every single day. It was eye opening, for a lot of us about thing in our lives we need to cleanse, relaxing and not something I would ever expect anyone to ever grasp outside of picking it apart to bully fans and make fun of it. We swam, ate amazingly good and healthy food, 2 amazing intimate concerts, good accommodations, being with our fellow fans and making friends and building core relationships we will cherish for the most part forever. You can't put a value on that. No matter how much you idiots out there may try. These were literally some of the best weekends of my life. I cherish them and would not change them in for the world. People out there like you, laughing at this, will never understand what it means to be happy. You're too busy trying to tear other people down because you truly are so miserable, you cannot stand the thought of someone else, being happy for even just a moment in time. Actually, getting to sit and talk to your idol is something you always dream of, fulfilling that dream and having him be the kindest person in the world, I hope everyone experiences someday. It makes your heart soar in the best way and gives you hope that you can go back home and make your life better.
“His glazed over sexual assault accusations”
*sigh* buckle up cause my blood is boiling over this subject.
It is well documented throughout the fanbase that the original story, which was a fan fiction, was over blown out of proportion and throughout the years has grown into a “my mother’s sisters, cousins, wife’s, aunt’s, daughter’s best friend, and her dog” kind of NONSENSE. EVERYTHING you hear is second hand. Why do you think that is? Could it be that it’s not true? Now before you attack me, let’s get something clear. I am all for victims coming forward and telling their side of the story. But this “I should auto believe you because you have a vagina” Bullshit is overdone. Amber Heard just proved that. There is nothing like a 20-year-old story on Wattpad & posted to Reddit & Lipstick Alley or Groupie Central & Tumbler hate blogs, pushing their hate agenda and getting over blown, and embellishing stories they “heard” to MAKE an already unreasonably disliked person, even more hated. What I do not agree with, is the FACT that there is ZERO FACTS, and everyone is already convicting the man is disgusting. Let’s just convict EVERYONE before we look for facts. What are the facts?
A. NO LEGAL CHARGES have ever been brought forth.
B. NOT ONE person has ever filed a police report and claimed they were assaulted.
C. The author of the story, Evangeline Van Houten admitted she wasn’t even a journalist. She wrote an article with no merit whatsoever, using pieces of a story from a posting on Tumbler, and unfortunate for her, it was a well over a decade old fan fic story. Some classless tarts have decided to copy and paste, twisting the story here and there to make it their own. If that alone doesn’t disturb you, I can’t help you. Talk about manipulation.
D. FACT is these stories have ANY merit. Fact is, they are stories of CONSENSUAL SEX, NOT RAPE. Wrapping your hands around your lovers’ throat is a BDSM move and can be quite a turn on if done correctly for BOTH partners. Just because she did not enjoy it, does not make it RAPE.
E. One of the best stories I must laugh at is the one of the girl who supposedly was in a five-year consensual sexual relationship with Jared, and supposedly he suddenly dumped her. So of course, she decides to naturally go onto a Groupie Messaging board to blast him and out his sexual enjoyments. <Insert pouty lip here.> I can imagine her thought process “Oh yea famous Rock star guy, watch how I ruin you for dumping me now.” I can see her stomping her feet like petulant bimbo.
F. Rape & Sexual assault victims do not generally tell others “If you can handle a big dick go for it” or my favorite, “it was like play rape.” No, rape is never playful sweetheart. NEVER.
Harvey Weinstein was charged years later with rape and accusations because he ACTUALLY DID RAPE these girls. There was enough evidence in a court of law to convict him, not just HERESAY or internet haters, drudging up an old fanfic and off a groupie messaging board.
You can say “Well look at Chris Noth” Let’s. Shall we? Have there been any criminal charges? NO. Has he lost everything? YES. His Tequila Company, his Career, his tv show, all pulled from him. As of right now, there is no ongoing criminal investigation regarding the allegations against Chris Noth. NO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION? Why do you suppose that is? Could it be there is ZERO EVIDENCE? But we allowed these women, to come up, destroy this man’s life collect their check, & walk on back into the shadows. It’s deplorable. What gives us the right to denote what makes one life more worth than another? Why is it, it’s acceptable in this society, to slander a good person, without any proof, without any problem. You’re automatically believed, even if it was 20 years ago & you “suddenly just remembered.” I call BS. I was raped. IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU FORGET & WAKE UP ONE MORNING AND REMEMBER suddenly. It never leaves, the smell, the look on his face, the terror, the pain. Certain smells trigger it, places, music…. It is NOT something you suddenly remember. It stays with you, FOREVER. If you have been a victim. REPORT THE CRIME IMMEDIATELY. It is your ONLY proof. If you do not report it, you’re no better than one Miss Amber Heard who by the way, LOST HER CASE, because she was found to be UNBELIEVABLE & lacked proper evidence and credibility by a jury. All she did, and all you do by spreading these lies, is make it harder for REAL victims to get the justice they deserve.
You can all disagree with me if you like, you’re entitled to do so. But I for one will not believe someone who posts on Lipstick Alley. If that makes me a misogynist, then I wear the t-shirt with pride.
‘“he owns a Literal In person Cult Compound”
I don’t know about you, but I have never been to Jared’s “cult compound.” This is one of the most absurd statements ever. Jared purchased a former Air Force Military base in which he stores the bands equipment, as well as runs the bands operation center out of, & therefore costing him less overheard and operational costs in the long run because he doesn’t pay for office/storage space. It’s a win win. Apparently, he resides there when in town. I am sure he does have other places, but I do not feel it’s anyone’s business where those are, out of respect for his privacy. The Base however is well known & not very private, so I have no doubt that he has made other arrangements to reside elsewhere, especially when you have stalkers & they now have your address thanks to Google. They call it the Compound because it’s a former Military base with bunkers. That’s all. Nothing Nefarious is happening there. No Midnight kool aid drinking, and sex parties. Least that I am aware of. Not that I would be on the guest list.
“Jared Leto basically represents every meaning of the word cult.”
SMDH. You People. Seriously. Labels are for cans. My favorite was the comment when a someone posted they saw him sitting on the ground at Coachella with his friends and that he gave off a “Charles Manson Vibe.” What exactly is that anyways? Was he handing out micro dosages of acid? Blotter tabs? Bumble bees or pink panthers? Could you tell? I always preferred the pink ones myself, back in the day of course. Maybe he was instructing his friends to go murder some people in Topanga Canyon. Or making deals with the Hellz Angels.
Clearly you have NOT seen the HULU documentary on Cults. Jared Leto is NOT Keith Raniere, Charles Manson, Jim Jones. No-one out here is drinking any Kool aid or having sex with each other (sadly) or eating babies. No one is being sent to murder people in his name, no one is selling children, no one is having sex with children, and no one is living at his house but him (that we know of). No one is trippin’ on acid he fed us. He isn’t sex trafficking, nor forcing anyone to do so. No one is living in the woods, away from society. Although with all this BS, who could blame him if he ever did go off grid? I sure wouldn’t.
The facts are facts. Do your homework. This does not include Reddit, Groupie Central & Lipstick Alley. This does not include second-, third- & fourth-hand accounts. There isn't one ounce of "evidence" that is even remotely credible.
Has he ever slept with a groupie?
A. What single guy or gal hasn’t had a one-night stand? Especially before we knew better?
B. What rock star for sure hasn’t? Jon Bon Jovi once described it as being like Baskin Robbins. Every Flavor possible is thrown at you.
C. Are they carding every girl that gets on the bus? Back in the day who knows. I doubt it highly these ladies were not vetted to some degree.
D. Could a lady have lied about her age? Of course! Let’s not kid ourselves. I am not dumb enough to think this has never happened TO ANY ROCKSTAR & neither should you be, but be realistic. Jared is not the only rockstar to have women throw themselves at him! And I doubt highly he is the only rockstar to have groupies back stage or on the bus. Does that mean they were underaged? NO. He isn't a fool. He ALWAYS ASKS how old they are and I am 100% certain that there is no way he would be stupid enough to throw it all away for a teenage groupie intentionally.
Look at Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Led Zep from back in the day. I could go on and we could be here for HOURS. FFS Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour were banging 3-4 groupies a NIGHT EACH UNDER THE STAGE! This is and always has been the rock star life..
Now on the other hand, do you really think if your being invited onto the tour bus or up to his room, or backstage even, that you’re going to watch a movie or play checkers? I can promise you, you're not going on the bus to Netflix n Chill.
I feel that if you’re under 18, at a concert and approached, you should be saying no I am under 18. Parents should be smart enough nowadays, especially those of us who lived through the 70's and 80's, to teach the young ones what will be the meaning of such an invitation. TBT.
If you lie just to go bang the lead singer, then you should not be crying Rape. YOU SHOULD NOT BE AT A CONCERT UNSUPERVISED. YOU CONSENTED. There I said it. It needed to be said. We know Jared indulged a bit and had sex with a few fans/groupies. He admitted as much on Ellen for Godsakes. HE ISN’T THE FIRST ROCK STAR TO DO SO. Stop making it seem like he is the only one out there who has ever slept with or had sex with a fan. Stop painting him out to be some sort of sexual deviant. He is a normal, single guy having women throw themselves at him. Of course you're gonna partake..
YES THIS IS A CULT.
Do you know where this came from? Obviously not. Supporting the Google and YouTube search engine so much you must be capable of researching the origin of this statement and slogan. Let me help you with this. Back when 30 Seconds to Mars was being sued for 30 million dollars by their record label of the time, (Sidebar: you should watch ARTIFACT its very eye opening about the music industry It premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, Artifact was favorably received by critics and audiences for its look inside the state of the modern recording industry. It received a standing ovation and won the People's Choice Award for Best Documentary.)
Anyways, regarding the cult reference, Jared did an interview back in 2013, Jared told the New York Times that his cult was a joke after a journalist commented that he had such a cult following. But the joke goes back much further. If you look back at the iconography, it goes back to even during the A Beautiful Lie 2005 era where a reporter from Kerrang spoke with Jared and question the band about their devoted followers. Jared referring to them as his “family” and the “Echelon” sparked these rumors. So, Jared eventually, being the marketing genius he is, ran with a line “Yes this is a Cult” on some of the Band merch and BAM! Here we are. Jared also being Jared finds it amusing that people believe this nonsense as if he were ALA Jim Jones and decided to get everyone to dress in white and he as Jesus, JUST TO RATTLE PEOPLE’s Cages. You know what is better than no attention? NEGATIVE ATTENTION. All of you who buy into this and post you little YouTube videos and TIK TOKS ABOUT HOW dangerous a Cult leader Jared is, and how he must be stopped. Should probably be wary about the fact that there are now MULTIPLE lawsuits filed in Courts in California regarding Slanderous Statements and accusing Jared of Being Satan and wishing his death.
If Donald Trump’s Cult of MAGA’s have taught us anything, it is that if you drill something into anyone’s head enough, they will believe it. QANON, is a prime example. BTW, if we are so worried about Cults, why are we not attacking and making pages about the Cult of #45? If you want to be concerned about a Cult, this is the one you should be screaming from the rooftops over. Jared Leto’s Joke Cult is NOTHING like the MAGA’s. We aren’t out here killing Black people in a Grocery store or murdering innocent little 4th graders on their last day of school. WORRY ABOUT THAT. Jared’s fanbase isn’t out here renting UHAUL trucks to go attack innocent people at a Pride parade and we sure aren’t out here arranging an insurrection at the Capitol Building. The Cult Leader you WANT TO ATTACK is Definitely not Jared Leto. But hey if you’re into this whole conspiracy theory thing, here are some more STUPID & ABSURD Celebrity rumors you may want to investigate, you know to help you sleep at night and all. Please understand that NONE of these things should ever be funny to anyone of normal mental health, EVER.

Now run along kids and be sure to drink some Coke and eat some pop rocks, OK?
