Jeremy Renner Accused: New Allegations Surface from Additional Victim
New allegations against Jeremy Renner have emerged from his ex-partner, Yi Zhou. The Chinese filmmaker claims that Renner engaged in inappropriate behavior and that additional victims are poised to come forward.
Yi Zhou’s Accusations Against Jeremy Renner
Yi Zhou, 37, shared her concerns on social media, alleging that Renner sent her unsolicited pornographic images. Zhou described the negative impact on her life, stating he ruined her “Disney fairytale.” After they began a romantic relationship this past summer, she invited Renner to collaborate on two films.
Threatening Behavior and Evidence
According to Zhou, when she confronted Renner about his actions, he threatened to involve immigration authorities. She shared evidence, reportedly including message exchanges, where Renner warned: “Immigration will be notified of your—.” However, Zhou chose not to disclose the complete context of the message.
Zhou’s accusations come on the heels of Renner’s near-fatal accident in January 2023, where he suffered significant injuries. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Renner detailed the ramifications of this incident.
Claims of Hollywood Silence and Support for Victims
Zhou expressed frustration over the perceived suppression of her story. She criticized Hollywood’s willingness to overlook allegations against Renner, even as others prepare to share their experiences. She believes a culture of silence helps perpetuate unsafe environments for women.
Historical Context of Allegations
This is not the first instance of troubling behavior linked to Renner. In 2019, during a custody dispute with his ex-wife Sonni Pacheco, allegations surfaced suggesting he threatened violence against both her and himself.
- Custody battle in 2019 involved accusations of threats to kill.
- Pacheco claimed a gun was involved during a cocaine incident.
- Nanny reported hearing threats of a murder-suicide plan.
Concluding Statement
Zhou urges a cultural shift in how Hollywood addresses allegations of misconduct. She advocates for greater courage from the media in supporting victims and encouraging them to share their truths. According to Zhou, Renner has a history of sending inappropriate images to fans, using such actions for personal pleasure before ghosting them afterward.
She encourages other victims to come forward, emphasizing the need for a safer entertainment industry for women.
