Overview
- Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou alleges Jeremy Renner sent unsolicited intimate images via DM and WhatsApp starting in June and later threatened to call ICE when confronted.
- Zhou says an August meeting at Renner’s Reno home turned aggressive after he drank and yelled, prompting her to lock herself in a room and fear for her safety.
- She has provided the Daily Mail with purported WhatsApp exchanges and shared photos and screenshots on Instagram as evidence of her account.
- Renner’s representative calls the allegations “totally inaccurate and untrue,” and Page Six/TMZ report he sent Zhou a cease-and-desist letter asserting her claims are false and that she pursued him with explicit messages.
- The dispute is tied to collaborations on the documentary Chronicles of Disney and the AI-animated project Stardust Future, and there have been no reports of criminal charges or immigration actions.
