Jeremy Renner Denies Yi Zhou Allegations, Sends Cease-and-Desist Over ICE Threat and Explicit Image Claims

Both sides are trading accusations publicly, with no criminal or civil case filed.

Overview

  • Renner’s representative said the allegations are “totally inaccurate and untrue,” as his lawyer described a single brief consensual encounter and accused Zhou of persistent harassment.
  • Page Six and TMZ reported that Renner sent Zhou a cease-and-desist letter calling her claims “false, fabricated and salacious,” alleging she pressured him to promote her projects and to present a romantic relationship.
  • Zhou has continued posting screenshots and statements on Instagram, alleging Renner sent unsolicited explicit images starting in June and threatened to contact immigration authorities when confronted.
  • Zhou told the Daily Mail she feared for her safety during an August visit to Renner’s Reno home, saying she locked herself in a room and shared her location with colleagues, who urged her to stay secured.
  • Zhou’s team says she previously sent multiple cease-and-desist notices to Renner; both sides cite partial message exchanges that have not been independently verified.
