Summary
- Actor Jeremy Renner denies filmmaker Yi Zhou's harassment allegations
- Zhou claimed Renner sent her unsolicited explicit images and became "violent" after drinking
- Renner's rep dismisses the claims as "totally inaccurate and untrue"

According to the news, Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner has strongly refuted the harassment allegations made by filmmaker Yi Zhou. The 'Hawkeye' star broke his silence after Zhou took to Instagram, detailing their brief professional and personal interactions earlier this year and using hashtags like "#CancelJeremyRenner."
Zhou alleged that Renner sent her "a string of unsolicited pornographic images" via direct message and WhatsApp in June. She further claimed that he "seduced" her into believing he genuinely cared for her. Zhou also described an alleged incident on August 20, during which she said Renner became "violent" after drinking wine, forcing her to lock herself in a room out of fear.
However, Renner's representative has categorically dismissed the claims, stating that "the allegations being made are totally inaccurate and untrue." His legal team has not issued any additional comments on the matter.
Zhou continued to post about her experience on Instagram, calling it an example of "the dark side of Hollywood" and claiming she had been "destroyed by a set-up of smear campaigns." She noted that she had received support from friends and colleagues within the industry.
Before the controversy, Renner and Zhou were reportedly collaborating on multiple projects, including a documentary and an animated film featuring Renner as a voice actor. Both parties have refrained from further public comment since the initial statements.
