Marvel Star Jeremy Renner Accused of Threatening to Call ICE on Chinese Film Partner

Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou has accused the "Hawkeye" actor Jeremy Renner of threatening to contact ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) regarding their professional relationship. Zhou, 34, revealed several serious allegations against Renner, 54, through a series of Instagram posts this week.

Allegations of Unsolicited Explicit Images

Zhou, who collaborated with Renner on a documentary and an animated film, said that Renner unexpectedly contacted her via direct message and WhatsApp in June 2025, sending her “a string of unwanted / unsolicited pornographic images of himself.”

Turbulent Meeting During Documentary Discussion

The pair became romantically involved and worked on two projects together, Zhou stated. However, she described a disturbing incident during a meeting at Renner’s home in Reno, Nevada, which centered on their documentary Chronicles Of Disney.

“I was discussing about the doc logistics, then he drank a bottle of wine alone and got angry and angry yelling for two hours,” Zhou told the Daily Mail.

“I had to location share to my team, my parents and Disney colleagues in case something happens to me they know where I am,” she continued. “I had to lock myself in a room to be safe praying he would not come into the room at night as he was really angry. I did not say a word, I was so scared for my life.”

Reassurance Amid Fear

Despite her fear, Zhou informed a colleague that she would be safe staying at Renner’s residence. The Daily Mail also published screenshots of Zhou’s alleged text exchanges with her Disney colleagues during the episode.
