But now the actor has made a move to sue TMZ for illegally publishing a video they had no rights to. Jared Leto claims that the video was his private affair shot at his home, and the website was given prior warning to not release it as they had no rights for the same.

In s statement made to THR, Jared Leto states that he had been alerted about TMZ acquiring a personal and private footage of him in his house. His team then notified TMZ asking them not to publish the video as they did not have any rights to the same, the website however published it nonetheless.
