Jeremy Renner is addressing allegations made by Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou, who asserts that the actor sent her unsolicited sexual images via social media and threatened to contact U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when confronted about the matter. Zhou, who claims to have collaborated with Renner on the documentary "Chronicles of Disney" and an animated film, detailed her accusations in a series of Instagram posts.

Zhou alleges that Renner sent her a series of unwanted pornographic images in June and that when she confronted him, he threatened to report her to immigration authorities. In response, a representative for Renner stated that the allegations are "totally inaccurate and untrue."

Renner's attorney, Marty Singer, has publicly denied Zhou's claims, labeling them as "false, outrageous and highly defamatory." Singer contends that Zhou is retaliating against Renner after he rejected her romantic advances and did not promote her projects on social media. He asserts that the two met once in July for an interview related to Zhou's documentary and shared a brief consensual encounter, but that Renner has not communicated with her since August.

Zhou has expressed that she felt "frauded by love" and accused Renner of sending her obscene photos without consent over several days. She also claimed that he forced himself on her during their first meeting and threatened to call ICE, which she described as a deeply shocking and frightening act.

In her statement, Zhou indicated that she included Renner in her projects under the impression that they were developing a romantic relationship. She alleged that when she confronted him about his past misconduct and requested that he treat her with respect, he responded with threats.

Singer countered Zhou's claims by stating that she has been persistently harassing Renner with numerous unsolicited messages. He emphasized that the true facts indicate that Zhou has aggressively pursued a sexual relationship with Renner, which he claims has led her to fabricate allegations to gain publicity for her work.

Renner's legal team has issued a cease and desist letter to Zhou, demanding that she cease what they describe as defamatory communications and refrain from disseminating false claims, warning of potential legal action if she does not comply. Zhou has expressed her belief in the ongoing relevance of the Me Too movement, emphasizing the need for continued advocacy against misconduct.
