Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou, 34, has accused the actor Jeremy Renner, 54, of threatening to call ICE on her after a series of troubling incidents involving unwanted communication and personal safety concerns.
Zhou claimed that Renner contacted her through direct message and WhatsApp in June 2025, sending her unsolicited pornographic images of himself. Despite this, they developed a romantic relationship and collaborated on two projects, including a documentary titled Chronicles Of Disney.
Zhou described a tense encounter during a meeting at Renner’s residence in Reno, Nevada, where he reportedly drank wine alone, became angry, and yelled for two hours. She stated:
"I was discussing about the doc logistics, then he drank a bottle of wine alone and got angry and angry yelling for two hours."
Fearing for her safety, Zhou shared her location with her team, parents, and Disney colleagues. She described locking herself in a room to avoid him, saying, "I was so scared for my life."
Zhou also mentioned that she told a colleague she felt safe staying at Renner’s home. The Daily Mail published her alleged text messages with Disney colleagues during the incident.
