Jeremy Renner is facing serious allegations from Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou. Zhou claims their first physical encounter was non-consensual, despite Renner's attorney insisting it was consensual. Zhou also accuses Renner of sending unsolicited explicit images and making threats.

The dispute began in June when Zhou alleges Renner contacted her directly with unwanted pornographic images. Zhou shared these accusations on Instagram. She further claims they had a 'long-distance relationship' where Renner sent her unwanted intimate photos and messages. Zhou's accusations escalated after a physical encounter in Reno in July 2025. Renner's attorney, Martin Singer, denies these allegations and claims Zhou harassed Renner instead. Zhou sent a cease-and-desist letter to Renner on November 5, demanding he stop the threatening and intimidating behavior.

The situation between Jeremy Renner and Yi Zhou remains tense. Zhou's allegations are serious and have been publicly shared. Renner's attorney denies these claims, stating Zhou harassed Renner instead. The outcome of this dispute is yet to be determined.
