Earlier this month, Zhou, 37, who collaborated on a documentary earlier this year with Renner, 54, accused the actor of sending her a string of \u201cunsolicited pornographic images of himself<\/a>\u201d in June. She alleged that when she confronted Renner about this, he threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on her. <\/p>\n Renner later denied those allegations, with his lawyer, Martin Singer, calling them \u201ctotally inaccurate and untrue.\u201d Singer alleged that after Renner had a \u201cconsensual encounter\u201d with Zhou, she sent the actor \u201csexually explicit\u201d messages. The lawyer also accused Zhou of lashing out after Renner \u201crejected her romantic advances.\u201d<\/p>\n On Saturday, Zhou wrote on Instagram that she and Renner have now \u201creached a peaceful and mutually respectful resolution without any settlement money from both sides.\u201d She also claimed they would be moving forward with their joint projects together, including the documentary Chronicles of Disney and the AI-animated film Stardust Future. <\/p>\n However, Singer later denied Zhou\u2019s claims, telling TMZ<\/a> that Renner and the director did not reach a resolution. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Jeremy Renner\u2019s lawyer says \u2018no deal\u2019 was reached between the actor and director Yi Zhou (Getty Images)<\/p>\n \u201cThere was no deal reached with Yi Zhou to resolve my client Jeremy Renner\u2019s substantial multi-million dollar claims against her,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \u201cI have no knowledge why Yi Zhou would fabricate a story that a deal has been made with her since she was notified that there was no deal with her, including her use of Jeremy Renner in an animated movie when he only agreed to be in a documentary,\u201d Singer added. <\/p>\n Earlier this month, Zhou alleged that the Mayor of Kingstown actor<\/a> first introduced himself to her \u201cout of the blue\u201d in June by sending her a string of \u201cunwanted\u201d images via WhatsApp and direct messages.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter having calls and text discussions he allured me and sold me he [was] looking for a relation and of course seduced \/ flatted [sic] that he was a Hollywood star fantasizing and loving me so much I believed in him,\u201d she claimed.<\/p>\n Zhou, who said in October that she and Renner were in a relationship, continued: \u201cThe power of love and embarked on the most difficult months + 2 Oscar running projects I kindly invited him to be part.\u201d<\/p>\n She added in one of her Instagram posts that Renner \u201chas refused to make any public promotion\u201d for their projects, \u201cdespite our repeated pleas public and private for support.\u201d<\/p>\n Zhou continued, alleging: \u201cWhen 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.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to the Daily Mail<\/a> in a later interview, Zhou claimed that during one of their meetings at his home about Chronicles of Disney, Renner got drunk and \u201cyelled for two hours,\u201d leaving her \u201cscared for [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n She said at the time she shared her location with her team and parents in case anything happened to her. In screenshots of alleged text messages sent to her Disney colleagues and obtained by the Mail, Zhou called Renner \u201cviolent.\u201d<\/p>\n Singer later responded to these claims, saying Renner and Zhou met on one occasion in Reno, Nevada, when he was interviewed for her Chronicles of Disney documentary. He claimed they shared a \u201cbrief consensual encounter.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Jeremy Renner previously denied Yi Zhou\u2019s claims he sent her unsolicited sexual messages (Tristan Fewings\/Getty Images for The Red Sea International Film Festival)<\/p>\n According to the lawyer, Renner ignored the filmmaker\u2019s subsequent \u201csexually explicit messages expressing her love.\u201d He claimed that Zhou \u201chad been relentlessly harassing and threatening [his] client with hundreds of unsolicited and unwanted messages.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Jeremy](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/MixCollage-16-Nov-2025-11-48-AM-9671.jpeg\")
