Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou, 34, shared a series of bombshell allegations against the “Hawkeye” star, 54, in various Instagram posts this week.
Zhou, who made a documentary and animated movie with Renner, claimed he randomly reached out to her on direct message and WhatsApp in June 2025 and sent her “a string of unwanted / unsolicited pornographic images of himself.”

The pair ended up forming a romantic relationship and worked together on two projects, Zhou claimed. But things allegedly took a turbulent turn during a meeting about the documentary, “Chronicles Of Disney,” at Renner’s home in Reno, Nevada.
“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 explained. “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.” But Zhou did tell a colleague she’d be safe staying at Renner’s place.
The Daily Mail also published Zhou’s alleged texts with her Disney colleagues during the incident. In the messages, Zhou called Renner “violent” and said she was “worried.”
“Can you lock yourself in the bathroom? He sounds crazy,” one co-worker texted Zhou.

She replied: “I did lock hope he can’t open. I’m [so] worried he yelled for 2 hours with one bottle of wine down alone.”
In one of her Instagram posts, Zhou claimed Renner threatened to contact immigration when she confronted him about his behavior.
“When I called him out privately about his past misconduct and asked him to behave properly, to respect me as a woman and as a filmmaker, he threatened to call immigration/ICE on me, an act that deeply shocked and frightened me,” she wrote.

In one of the messages she gave to the Daily Mail, Zhou called Renner a “pig” and told him to “go to hell.” She added, “U use all apps to send d–k pix. No one said anything. So far.”
“Immigration will be notified of your —” Renner allegedly responded. Zhou refused to provide the rest of the message, which was cut off.
In another Instagram post, Zhou said that it took her a long time “before I had the courage to write this and speak up.”
She also described her “story” as “a story of survival against domestic aggression, porn abuse and abuse of workplace and abuse as a woman.”
The Post has reached out to Renner and Zhou for comment.

Zhou told the Daily Mail last month that she was dating Renner.
“We have been in a relationship,” she said, adding that the “Mayor of Kingstown” actor “found new love” with her.
Renner was previously married to Sonni Pacheco for 10 months before the model filed for divorce in December 2014. The exes share daughter Ava, 12.
During their divorce proceedings, Pacheco accused Renner in court documents of threatening to kill her and himself. She also accused the “Avengers” star of drug use and leaving cocaine on a bathroom counter where Ava could reach.
Renner has denied all of Pacheco’s allegations. They share joint custody of their daughter.
