SHOCKING IN HOLLYWOOD: JEREMY RENNER ACCUSED OF HARASSMENT AND DEPORTATION THREATS! Filmmaker Yi Zhou has accused the Avengers star of violent behavior while drunk, sending explicit photos, and even threatening to call ICE to have her deported. Just minutes ago, Yi Zhou suddenly released a series of “evidence” photos and messages on Instagram, sending social media into a frenzy!
The entertainment world has been rocked tonight by explosive allegations against actor Jeremy Renner, known worldwide for his role as Hawkeye in Marvel’s Avengers franchise. Filmmaker Yi Zhou has publicly accused the Oscar-nominated star of harassment, violent outbursts, and shocking deportation threats, revealing what she claims are screenshots and photos as proof.
In a stunning Instagram post shared just minutes ago, Yi Zhou published what she describes as direct messages, voice notes, and images allegedly sent by Renner during their personal interactions. The posts quickly went viral, drawing hundreds of thousands of reactions in under an hour and setting off an online storm that has left fans and journalists in disbelief.
According to Zhou’s caption, the images show Renner in an intoxicated state, appearing aggressive and incoherent. She alleges that during one late-night exchange, the actor “lost control,” threatened to “make her disappear,” and even suggested he could “call ICE to deport” her back to China if she ever spoke publicly about their relationship.
Yi Zhou, a Chinese-Italian filmmaker and visual artist who has collaborated with luxury brands and international film projects, wrote that she “kept quiet for years” out of fear of retaliation. But she says she finally decided to come forward “to protect other women” and to expose what she describes as “a pattern of abuse masked by fame and power.”
The first set of screenshots she posted appeared to show a text conversation in which Renner used aggressive language, called her demeaning names, and demanded private photos. Another image — blurred by Instagram for sensitive content — allegedly showed a shirtless selfie Renner sent late at night, followed by an audio clip where a man’s voice could be heard slurring his words.
Yi Zhou’s post also includes what she calls “receipts,” including a timestamped call log and an image of a message reading, “You don’t know who you’re dealing with. I can end your career and send you home in a day.” She claimed this was the exact threat that made her fear for her safety and stay silent until now.
Within moments of her Instagram post, major celebrity news outlets began picking up the story. Fans flooded her comment section with messages of support, while others expressed disbelief, saying they “couldn’t imagine Hawkeye doing something like this.” Hashtags like #JeremyRenner and #YiZhou began trending across X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, while Reddit threads dissected every frame of the screenshots.
Yi Zhou later added to her Instagram story, writing that she had “no intention of destroying anyone’s career” but wanted to show that “Hollywood protects too many powerful men.” She included a short video showing her scrolling through her phone’s gallery, displaying a folder titled “Renner Evidence,” adding even more fuel to the online firestorm.
Several images appeared to show a man resembling Renner passed out with a bottle of alcohol nearby, while another showed him on a video call, smiling and saying, “You’d better be nice or ICE will visit.” Many fans pointed out the disturbing tone of that clip, suggesting it aligned with Zhou’s allegations of threats and intimidation.
By midnight Los Angeles time, Yi Zhou’s original post had already surpassed two million views and was being shared by several verified accounts, including other filmmakers, activists, and entertainment insiders. Some industry figures called for an immediate investigation, while others urged caution, reminding followers that the evidence still needs independent verification.
Renner, who has been recovering from a near-fatal snowplow accident and was praised for his resilience earlier this year, has not yet made any public comment. His representatives have also remained silent so far, though several media outlets report that his team is “preparing a formal statement.”
The accusations come as a major shock to Hollywood, given Renner’s clean public image and his comeback narrative following his accident. Until this evening, he was seen as one of the industry’s most respected actors, balancing blockbuster roles with humanitarian efforts and family life. These allegations, however, could seriously impact his career and upcoming projects.
Yi Zhou’s decision to post the alleged evidence appears calculated and deliberate. She wrote, “I know what this will cost me. But silence is worse. The truth must be seen.” Her post has since been reshared by multiple public figures who called her “brave” for standing up against what they call “Hollywood’s culture of intimidation.”
Users online are now debating whether Zhou’s screenshots could be digitally altered, with some suggesting they appear authentic based on metadata displayed in her screen recordings. Others, however, urge skepticism, pointing out that similar celebrity scandals have later been proven false. Still, the emotional intensity of Zhou’s message has already captured the world’s attention.
In one particularly disturbing section of her caption, Zhou claimed that Renner’s anger stemmed from jealousy after she worked on a project with another male actor. “He drank, called me, and screamed for hours,” she wrote. “He said, ‘You think you can embarrass me? I can make one call and ICE will take care of you.’ That night I locked my doors and cried until morning.”
The story has triggered intense conversations about power dynamics in Hollywood, racism, and the mistreatment of foreign women in the industry. Many activists are urging platforms like Instagram to verify Zhou’s account and preserve the evidence in case an official investigation follows. Lawyers specializing in entertainment law have also begun commenting on the potential legal implications.
While the authenticity of the posts is still under review, the emotional reaction across social media is undeniable. Some users shared old interviews where Renner was seen joking about alcohol and anger issues, suggesting “signs were always there.” Others insist he deserves due process and that online outrage shouldn’t replace legal accountability.
Meanwhile, entertainment reporters are digging into the history between Yi Zhou and Jeremy Renner. Public records show they attended several industry events together between 2018 and 2019, including the Venice Film Festival and a private charity gala in Beverly Hills. Rumors of a brief relationship had circulated at the time but were never confirmed by either party.
Now, years later, Zhou’s claims have reopened questions about what really happened behind closed doors. Her decision to come forward during a time when Renner is rebuilding his image adds even more drama to an already volatile situation. The combination of fame, fear, and alleged abuse has turned this into one of the most talked-about Hollywood controversies of the year.
As the online debate grows, some insiders suggest that other women may also step forward with similar stories. Whether this turns into a larger movement or remains an isolated claim will likely depend on how Renner and his legal team respond in the coming days. For now, the silence from his camp speaks volumes.
Yi Zhou has not deleted her posts, despite reports that Renner’s lawyers have contacted Instagram to request content review. In her final update tonight, she wrote simply, “The truth cannot be deported,” a haunting reference to the alleged ICE threat that has become the most discussed line of her entire story.
The world is now watching closely. Whether these claims will lead to a legal case, a public apology, or another Hollywood scandal that fades with time, one thing is certain: the evidence Yi Zhou shared tonight has already changed the way millions see Jeremy Renner. The shockwaves are spreading fast, and Hollywood’s image of its heroes may never look the same again.
