Filmmaker Yi Zhou, 37, who collaborated with Marvel actor Jeremy Renner, 54, on a documentary and an animated project, has made serious allegations against him. She claims Renner sent her intimate photos and explicit videos during their collaboration.
According to Zhou, Renner also had drunken outbursts that frightened her. The allegations first appeared on her Instagram before she spoke to the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview.
“I was discussing the documentary details, then he drank a bottle of wine by himself and started yelling for two hours,” Zhou said.
“I had to share my location with my team, my parents, and Disney colleagues in case something happened to me. I locked myself in a room, praying he wouldn’t come in at night because he was very angry. I didn’t say a word—I was terrified for my life.”
Zhou also claimed that after their working relationship deteriorated, Renner threatened to “call ICE” on her.
Yi Zhou accuses actor Jeremy Renner of sending explicit content, verbal abuse, and intimidation, describing a frightening encounter during their filmmaking collaboration.
