        No way, there’s absolutely nothing fishy going on with Leto. It’s a totally normal, completely above board, women only island cult.

        Fun fact Jared Leto has been to my flat before (i didnt live there yet), took a bite out of an apple belonging to my roommate and left it there. He also signed the kitchen table.

        I could easily prove this btw because there is video evidence, but doing so would dox my address so im not going to.

            Those lines are also from him and she covered the whole table in clear tape so it wouldnt be washed off. And yeah that triangle thing next to the “2018” is his entire signature apparently.

              yeah I looked it up and it seems like it is… except despite the simplicity he seems to sign it wildly differently each time lol.

        What makes you think of him?

        Like Brand has been a blatant huge hypocrite for years (Talking about injustice of poor people whilst marrying in to a massively rich family, for example.).

          He hung around with Brand a lot.

          Has a similar creepy vibe, photograped in clubs with women.

          He created old gregg

          I would add that I have absolutely no evidence against Noel. I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised.

          Also David Walliams seems a bit rapey.

          Again. No evidence. I just wouldn’t be surprised.

            I get you.

            It’s like I don’t like Leigh Francis, and expect some controversy with him. Not in this league, I just think he’s a bit of dick. Doing gambling adverts doesn’t help.

              He’s definitely rude and crude, but I don’t think he loves himself enough to expect women to sleep with him.

              I agree with you. In his case I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes down for something else illegal (fraud, embezzlement, theft etc.). Again, not saying he has done anything.
