Overview
- Zhou alleges the actor sent unsolicited explicit images, initiated an unwanted first encounter, and later threatened to involve U.S. immigration authorities.
- She has shared screenshots and a cease‑and‑desist letter dated November 5 that demands an end to what she calls threatening and intimidating conduct, and she signals further legal steps.
- Renner’s attorney Marty Singer calls the claims false and defamatory, asserting Zhou persistently harassed Renner with messages and that their only in‑person contact was a brief consensual meeting in Reno on July 12.
- Zhou also describes an August work visit to Renner’s home where she says he yelled for two hours and she locked herself in a room out of fear, an account Renner’s side rejects.
- Both accounts surface from statements to media and social posts tied to a mid‑2025 collaboration that Zhou says included an October documentary release, and several details remain disputed without independent verification.
