Overview
- On Nov. 3, filmmaker Yi Zhou publicly alleged that Jeremy Renner threatened to call immigration authorities on her and sent unsolicited pornographic images.
- Zhou says Renner first contacted her in June and that they collaborated this year on her projects Chronicles of Disney and the AI-animated feature Stardust Future.
- She provided screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages to the Daily Mail, and the San Francisco Chronicle on Nov. 7 summarized her claims and said it sought comment.
- Zhou told the Daily Mail that during an August meeting about Chronicles of Disney, Renner became drunk, violent and angry, prompting her to lock herself in a room.
- Renner has not addressed the new allegations; prior accusations from his ex-wife in their 2019 custody dispute were previously denied by the actor in an interview with The Guardian.
