Overview
- Zhou says Renner first messaged her in June with explicit images, then joined her projects Chronicles of Disney and Stardust Future before relations broke down.
- She alleges an August meeting at Renner’s Reno home turned hostile after he drank and shouted for hours, prompting her to lock herself in a room, and says he threatened to report her to immigration.
- Renner’s attorney Marty Singer rejects the claims as false and defamatory, contends there was only a brief consensual encounter, and alleges Zhou later sent hundreds of unwanted explicit messages after he refused to promote her work.
- Renner’s camp has issued a cease-and-desist demanding removal of Zhou’s posts and warning of possible defamation action, with letters referenced by outlets including People and Page Six.
- Both sides have circulated purported messages to support their accounts, there is no public record of a criminal or immigration case, and the future of the two collaborations remains uncertain.
