Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner has vehemently denied sending unsolicited sexual messages to Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou.
The actor addressed the allegations levelled against him by the filmmaker. Zhou worked with Renner on the documentary ‘Chronicles of Disney’ and an animated film, reports ‘People’ magazine.
The filmmaker alleged in a series of Instagram posts that the actor, 54, sent “a string of unwanted/unsolicited pornographic images of himself” in DMs and WhatsApp in June, and when she confronted him, he allegedly “threatened to call immigration/ICE” on her.
A representative of the actor told ‘People’ in a statement, “The allegations are totally inaccurate and untrue”. Renner’s attorney Marty Singer denied Zhou’s claims, calling them, “false, outrageous and highly defamatory”.
The legal representative alleged that Zhou is retaliating against Renner after the actor “rejected her romantic advances” and did not promote her projects on social media. As per ‘People’, he claimed Renner met Zhou once in July when they met at a hotel in Reno, Nevada, where Renner was interviewed for Zhou’s documentary and says the two shared a “brief consensual encounter”.
