Yi Zhou Accuses Jeremy Renner of Unsolicited Explicit Messages and ICE Threat

Renner has not publicly responded to Zhou’s claims, which have circulated through her Instagram posts and shared screenshots.

Overview

  • Zhou alleges Renner first contacted her in June by sending unsolicited intimate images via direct messages and WhatsApp.
  • She says a meeting at Renner’s Reno home in August turned aggressive after he drank, leading her to lock herself in a room and tell colleagues she feared for her safety.
  • Screenshots Zhou provided to media show a partial reply reading “Immigration has been notified of your —,” though she declined to share the full message.
  • The pair worked together this year on the documentary Chronicles of Disney and the AI-animated feature Stardust Future, and Zhou claims he later denied their relationship and refused to promote the films.
  • Multiple outlets report Renner has not addressed the allegations, and no investigation or legal action has been reported; past abuse claims from his ex-wife in 2019 are cited as background, which he has denied.
