Jeremy Renner Denies Harassment Allegations Made by Director Yi Zhou
Los Angeles, CA – November 9, 2025 – Following accusations of harassment leveled by filmmaker Yi zhou, Marvel actor jeremy Renner has issued a strong denial through his legal representatives. Zhou alleged that Renner sent her unsolicited explicit images and made threatening statements, claims the actor vehemently refutes.

According to a statement provided to TMZ by Renner’s spokesperson, “The accusations that are being made are totally inaccurate and false.” The statement further details Renner’s account, claiming Zhou “relentlessly and aggressively harassed” the actor for months, with any interaction from Renner being limited to a single, brief encounter. Renner maintains any contact was consensual and that he explicitly ended any possibility of a further relationship.
Zhou has publicly shared screenshots of alleged messages from Renner on her Instagram account and detailed her accusations in various interviews.

They allege zhou threatened to publicly damage renner’s reputation if he didn’t comply.
“Zhou’s claims that he sent her unsolicited photographs and threatened her are mere retaliation for having rejected her,” the statement concludes.
