A big Marvel star has serious allegations levied against him on social media and a recent report lays a ton of claims out there. The Daily Beast posted a lengthy story about Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner allegedly threatening a female filmmaker.
Other details from the report include the MCU actor threatening to “call ICE” on Yi Zhou according to her social media. The Daily Mail also interviewed the 37-year-old filmmaker about her alleged dating history with Renner. She says that he sent “unsolicited pornographic images of himself” in some Instagram posts this week.
In The Daily Beast’s account of the events, Zhou said that she was dating Renner previously. She alleges that during the period they were making a documentary and an animated film together, the relationship began. The filmmaker told The Daily Beast that he introduced himself over WhatsApp and things escalated from there. The Daily Mail says that they have screenshots of her alleged messages with Renner. There are alleged short porn video clips in those records from June too. During a meeting for Chronicles of Disney, Zhou says she feared for her life because of Renner’s temper.
On social media, Zhou wrote, “I’m worried for other women who will be victim and might have been victim being used as a sexual object, abused and destroyed in such a manner. Hollywood hides these men and bad behavior for the sake of money, but do we still need to be a silent victim in the post me 2 era? I thank the media reporters that reached out to me and are willing to support me unpack the truth we need to endure in today’s Hollywood, and help other women to tell the truth.”
Hawkeye star Jeremy Renner accused of threatening female filmmaker
The most shocking part of the reporting stems from claims that Jeremy Renner allegedly threatened to call ICE on Yi Zhou after she confronted him for not promoting their movie together. WhatsApp messages obtained by The Daily Mail have Renner allegedly responding “Immigration will be notified of your-” when she pressed him about sending lewd photos of himself in different apps. On social media, the filmmaker is posting all kinds of statements about Renner and about Hollywood in general. Representatives for the Marvel star have not responded to inquiries about the veracity of these claims.
Zhous posted on Instagram, “When I called him out privately about his past misconduct and asked him to behave properly, to respect me as a woman and as a filmmaker, he threatened to call immigration/ICE on me, an act that deeply shocked and frightened me.”
All of these allegations follow Renner’s legal history with his ex-wife. Sonni Pacheco also accused the Marvel star of abusive behavior. They were married for 10 months, beginning in 2014. Renner would deny those allegations in an interview with The Guardian. The Hawkeye actor currently shares joint custody of his daughter with Pacheco. This is a developing story.
