Project: OFF0002-MC_Hollywood_BBC Clip Name: Unk Speaker 3: 00:00:00:04 - 00:00:04:09 I've always been this like free spirit type of person Speaker 3: 00:00:04:22 - 00:00:10:06 and I still actually to this day, one of those like act first, think second, you know Speaker 3: 00:00:10:13 - 00:00:13:18 I'm very much like just try things, right? Speaker 3: 00:00:13:22 - 00:00:18:00 Just try things and then if it works out great and if it doesn't, then now you know, right Speaker 3: 00:00:18:24 - 00:00:20:15 So in 2002 Speaker 3: 00:00:20:21 - 00:00:23:07 when I was 17, I had this job at Planet Hollywood Speaker 3: 00:00:23:12 - 00:00:25:11 well, the Planet Hollywood was a hotel. Speaker 3: 00:00:25:22 - 00:00:26:17 I worked in the mall Speaker 3: 00:00:26:22 - 00:00:34:14 I was working at Sharper Image and I was any regular day and a group of guys came in Speaker 3: 00:00:34:16 - 00:00:35:10 one of them looked Speaker 3: 00:00:35:12 - 00:00:35:20 familiar. Speaker 3: 00:00:36:02 - 00:00:37:21 So I said, oh, you look familiar. Speaker 3: 00:00:38:16 - 00:00:41:08 And he was like, oh, what high school did you go to? Speaker 3: 00:00:41:13 - 00:00:44:00 And I said, oh, I went to this high school. Speaker 3: 00:00:44:17 - 00:00:46:10 And he was like, oh, no way, me too Speaker 3: 00:00:47:02 - 00:00:51:11 his friends started laughing and I was like, what? Speaker 3: 00:00:51:15 - 00:00:52:09 Like, what's so funny? Speaker 3: 00:00:52:22 - 00:00:54:18 And they were like, he didn't go to your high school. Speaker 3: 00:00:55:00 - 00:00:55:23 They were like, he's famous Speaker 3: 00:00:56:09 - 00:00:58:13 that's when they were like, oh, well, this is Jared Leto Speaker 3: 00:00:58:13 - 00:01:00:08 And so I was like, oh, cool. Speaker 3: 00:01:00:15 - 00:01:02:16 Like, that's awesome, you know, you're famous. Speaker 3: 00:01:03:00 - 00:01:04:10 They still didn't know he was, right? Speaker 3: 00:01:05:04 - 00:01:07:17 And so kind of went on Speaker 3: 00:01:08:07 - 00:01:11:16 And it was just, you know, like a fun casual vibe Speaker 3: 00:01:12:06 - 00:01:15:09 so I was just drawing them around and taking them through the store. Speaker 3: 00:01:15:13 - 00:01:18:00 And so then we went to check them out at the cash register Speaker 3: 00:01:18:10 - 00:01:21:01 that's when Jared Leto was like, Hey, like you seem really cool. Speaker 3: 00:01:21:20 - 00:01:22:22 You know, can I get your phone number? Speaker 3: 00:01:23:05 - 00:01:24:20 Like, would you like to hang out later? Speaker 3: 00:01:24:20 - 00:01:28:14 And so I was like, yeah, you know, I'm like, Oh, cool, like he's a celebrity, right? Speaker 3: 00:01:28:17 - 00:01:29:10 I'm 17. Speaker 3: 00:01:29:10 - 00:01:32:18 And I'm like, you know, I think that was the first time I ever met a celebrity Speaker 3: 00:01:33:03 - 00:01:36:18 I don't believe he asked me how old I was. Speaker 3: 00:01:37:06 - 00:01:40:12 Obviously, the conversation started with what high school did I go to? Speaker 3: 00:01:41:01 - 00:01:45:06 So I think that there was some perception there of how young I was Speaker 3: 00:01:45:17 - 00:01:49:20 And so I was going to meet up with him after work Speaker 3: 00:01:50:07 - 00:01:52:01 he asked me to come meet him in his hotel. Speaker 3: 00:01:52:01 - 00:01:52:15 And Speaker 3: 00:01:53:00 - 00:01:53:05 work. Speaker 3: 00:01:53:07 - 00:01:54:11 It was really close to my work. Speaker 3: 00:01:55:01 - 00:01:59:17 And I pulled in and it was this dingy motel Speaker 3: 00:01:59:23 - 00:02:02:08 But I pulled in. Speaker 3: 00:02:02:11 - 00:02:08:07 And I remember thinking like, wait, if he's a celebrity, why is he staying at this dingy girlish motel? Speaker 3: 00:02:09:12 - 00:02:12:15 But that's where he said he was still getting ready and if we could meet there Speaker 3: 00:02:12:19 - 00:02:19:08 I don't know if I want to call it naiveness or just not thinking it through or I don't know what it was Speaker 3: 00:02:19:20 - 00:02:22:18 with friends and stuff, like, hey, I'm still getting ready, like coming me. Speaker 3: 00:02:23:00 - 00:02:23:21 I don't know. Speaker 3: 00:02:24:00 - 00:02:27:04 I guess I don't know. Speaker 3: 00:02:27:07 - 00:02:28:17 I didn't think much of it. Speaker 3: 00:02:28:18 - 00:02:33:10 I just was like, oh, he's still getting ready and we're going to meet up there and then we're going to go out afterwards Speaker 3: 00:02:33:24 - 00:02:38:08 so I knocked on the door, went in and he was really cool. Speaker 3: 00:02:38:13 - 00:02:39:03 He was really nice Speaker 3: 00:02:40:13 - 00:02:43:18 I sat on the bed and he was like, hey, yeah, like I'm still getting ready. Speaker 3: 00:02:44:03 - 00:02:47:04 I'm just going to hop in the shower real quick and finish getting ready. Speaker 3: 00:02:47:13 - 00:02:49:01 And like, do you mind waiting? Speaker 3: 00:02:49:10 - 00:02:50:09 And I was like, no, of course not. Speaker 3: 00:02:50:09 - 00:02:51:10 Like, go finish getting ready. Speaker 3: 00:02:51:19 - 00:02:51:19 And Speaker 1: 00:02:52:02 - 00:02:56:07 Okay, so he went and got in the shower and what happened next? Speaker 3: 00:02:59:22 - 00:03:01:07 Sorry, it's hard. Speaker 3: 00:03:05:12 - 00:03:06:20 Sorry, I had to like, give myself together. Speaker 2: 00:03:09:00 - 00:03:10:06 [Heavy breathing] Speaker 3: 00:03:12:12 - 00:03:13:10 I'm going to get my soul together. Speaker 3: 00:03:14:15 - 00:03:16:08 I was sitting on the bed waiting for him to get ready. Speaker 3: 00:03:16:19 - 00:03:19:01 And he called me. Speaker 3: 00:03:19:04 - 00:03:23:22 And he was like, hey, come in here so we can talk while I'm in the shower Speaker 3: 00:03:24:08 - 00:03:25:23 And so I went into the bathroom. Speaker 3: 00:03:26:08 - 00:03:26:14 And Speaker 3: 00:03:26:21 - 00:03:28:10 this side in front of me was the toilet. Speaker 3: 00:03:28:20 - 00:03:33:17 So I went and I sat kind of what's the lid part of the toilet? Speaker 3: 00:03:33:20 - 00:03:36:03 I want to sit there with my feet on the toilet. Speaker 3: 00:03:37:05 - 00:03:38:11 And he was in the shower Speaker 3: 00:03:38:14 - 00:03:45:15 But then he kind of pulled the curtain back out of the shower and started kissing me. Speaker 3: 00:03:47:04 - 00:03:52:10 And I think I still was just kind of like, OK, this is weird. Speaker 3: 00:03:53:04 - 00:03:54:07 And I wasn't expecting this Speaker 3: 00:03:54:15 - 00:03:57:10 And then he grabbed my hand. Speaker 3: 00:03:59:01 - 00:04:08:12 I don't even know how to say this part, but he grabbed my hand and he started touching himself with my hand, like using my hand to touch myself, I guess. Speaker 3: 00:04:08:22 - 00:04:12:14 I don't know how else to masturbate himself with my hand. Speaker 3: 00:04:15:18 - 00:04:20:18 And I just went on for just like a couple of minutes Speaker 3: 00:04:22:11 - 00:04:39:19 do think that I I was a little afraid of You know my loan in this room and you know If I wasn't gonna be able to leave or if I wasn't going to be able to I I Didn't know what was gonna happen right Speaker 3: 00:04:39:24 - 00:04:44:00 alarms started going off in my head, like, what are you doing here? Speaker 3: 00:04:44:04 - 00:04:45:21 Like, this is not what you came here for. Speaker 3: 00:04:46:15 - 00:04:48:04 This is not what I expected, right? Speaker 3: 00:04:48:14 - 00:04:58:20 And so that's when, so I like stopped kissing him and you know, I pulled away and I was like, okay, I'm gonna go, I said Speaker 3: 00:05:00:15 - 00:05:01:23 don't think he was surprised. Speaker 3: 00:05:02:11 - 00:05:06:00 I think it was just like, okay, sure. Speaker 3: 00:05:06:12 - 00:05:07:14 It was very, okay. Speaker 2: 00:05:10:10 - 00:05:10:15 Do Speaker 3: 00:05:10:18 - 00:05:16:24 He got out, put a towel on and he went to walk me out. Speaker 3: 00:05:17:14 - 00:05:23:16 And there was a weird thing that I always remembered Speaker 3: 00:05:24:07 - 00:05:34:00 He went outside and I remember he specifically looked to the left and it looked almost like seeing if there was anybody around before he let me out of the room. Speaker 3: 00:05:35:09 - 00:05:41:08 And then when he did that, he let me out of the room and I was like, okay, bye, it's okay, bye. Speaker 3: 00:05:41:15 - 00:05:43:20 And that was the end of it, yeah. Speaker 1: 00:05:47:01 - 00:05:48:15 I'm so sorry that happened to you Speaker 3: 00:05:52:23 - 00:05:54:07 I think he knew what he was doing. Speaker 3: 00:05:54:11 - 00:05:58:00 He knew what the purpose of inviting me over was. Speaker 3: 00:05:58:19 - 00:06:02:11 Why I didn't realize that till the end is beyond me. Speaker 3: 00:06:02:24 - 00:06:03:05 But Speaker 3: 00:06:03:15 - 00:06:05:17 We didn't have internet in our hands. Speaker 3: 00:06:06:13 - 00:06:07:10 We didn't have that. Speaker 3: 00:06:07:16 - 00:06:08:11 And I was at work. Speaker 3: 00:06:09:02 - 00:06:09:17 I got off work. Speaker 3: 00:06:11:03 - 00:06:11:20 I met up with him. Speaker 3: 00:06:12:00 - 00:06:18:11 And so I didn't know who he was or how old he was or anything about him until after everything, when I went home. Speaker 3: 00:06:18:24 - 00:06:21:00 And then I looked him up on like a computer Speaker 3: 00:06:22:11 - 00:06:24:19 And that's when I realized he was in his early 30s Speaker 3: 00:06:25:24 - 00:06:26:07 In my whole life Speaker 3: 00:06:26:23 - 00:06:29:16 Until the last few years, I probably never shared this with anybody Speaker 3: 00:06:32:00 - 00:06:55:19 I had viewed this event as I Was a stupid girl That did something stupid did something dumb and so This bad thing happened, but of course it did because It's my fault like I did something dumb and so it's on me I don't think I ever it's always simply until probably last couple years. Speaker 3: 00:06:55:19 - 00:07:10:10 I ever Blamed him I always blamed me Because like yeah, I went you know and I just kept going along with it Speaker 3: 00:07:12:02 - 00:07:14:16 So did you think he thought that he'd get away with it? Speaker 1: 00:07:16:08 - 00:07:18:04 Well, he has, right? Speaker 1: 00:07:18:13 - 00:07:19:20 He has gotten away with it. Speaker 1: 00:07:20:15 - 00:07:23:23 I was, this was 25 years ago. Speaker 1: 00:07:26:00 - 00:07:27:15 Apparently he's been doing it. Speaker 1: 00:07:27:22 - 00:07:29:17 Apparently people know about it. Speaker 1: 00:07:31:08 - 00:07:34:03 So by all means I think he has gotten away with it Speaker 1: 00:07:34:22 - 00:07:37:20 there's the level of trust that okay so he's known you Speaker 1: 00:07:37:20 - 00:07:38:18 on the celebrity Speaker 1: 00:07:39:12 - 00:07:44:17 He seems like this quiet shy reserved guy, that built another layer of trust Speaker 1: 00:07:45:10 - 00:07:46:18 and so Speaker 1: 00:07:46:23 - 00:07:49:02 Just added all those layers of trust for me to say Speaker 1: 00:07:49:14 - 00:07:51:09 Okay, Okay it's safe for me to go and meet him Speaker 1: 00:07:52:13 - 00:08:02:12 yeah, do I believe that even at that age as naive as I was, if some guy on the street would have came up to me and said Hey can I get your number? Speaker 1: 00:08:02:16 - 00:08:04:01 Do you want to meet me in my hotel room later? Speaker 1: 00:08:05:06 - 00:08:07:19 Ni. Ni Speaker 3: 00:08:09:09 - 00:08:17:02 I carried a lot of shame over, you know, again, feeling like I did something bad Speaker 1: 00:08:18:18 - 00:08:20:21 guy has a pattern of this behavior Speaker 1: 00:08:21:03 - 00:08:30:23 Which is baffles me that it's known and Like how can people I mean I guess it happens I think they're back to naiveness, right Speaker 1: 00:08:31:14 - 00:08:35:20 There's people do bad things and people look the other way and until I guess they can't Speaker 1: 00:08:36:04 - 00:08:41:24 this this this can't keep going on this can't keep happening and so many women have experienced it and Speaker 1: 00:08:42:06 - 00:08:49:02 know we don't say anything we don't talk about it We don't I know that's because we think they're not gonna believe us or maybe the shame or Speaker 1: 00:08:49:08 - 00:08:55:06 How are people gonna perceive me after seeing this, you know, and that's really scary thought Speaker 1: 00:08:57:18 - 00:08:58:20 I don't understand how Speaker 1: 00:08:59:11 - 00:09:15:09 You're not gonna prosecute you're not gonna send to jail fine But like how you continue to welcome him into you know these Circles or continue to give him films continue to keep him famous and You know continue to keep doing this because Speaker 1: 00:09:15:09 - 00:09:33:19 maybe there's just this ingrained culture of silence looking the other way, of allowing people, men to do what they want, that it's just, it is the way it is and you come into it and you either accept it or you leave Speaker 1: 00:09:35:06 - 00:09:43:11 nothing's changed the things I've been through I've been through them seeing them now doesn't change them feeling them now doesn't change them. Speaker 1: 00:09:44:01 - 00:09:49:05 But there's this like healing and acknowledging what happened and Speaker 1: 00:09:49:12 - 00:09:52:19 of just sort of pushing them or pushing them down
