Hollywood actor Jeremy Renner has responded to allegations of harassment made by filmmaker Yi Zhou, describing them as 'totally inaccurate and untrue.' Zhou, a 37-year-old filmmaker, took to Instagram to share her side of the story, alleging that Renner sent her unwanted explicit images and that their interaction turned personal, leading her to feel 'seduced' into believing he cared for her. According to Zhou, the alleged harassment escalated during a meeting on August 20, where Renner consumed a bottle of wine and became 'violent,' prompting her to lock herself in a room out of fear. Zhou is currently directing a documentary titled Chronicles of Disney, which includes interviews with Renner, Oscar-winning costume designer Mark Bridges, and makeup artist Bill Corso. Renner and Zhou were reportedly working together on multiple projects, including the animated film Stardust Future: Stars and Scars, which claims to be the first feature fully created with AI. However, the future of these collaborations remains uncertain in light of the allegations. Zhou has received support from friends and others in the industry, but she also feels 'destroyed by a set up of smear campaigns.' Renner's representative has denied the allegations, but the actor's lawyer has not commented further. The controversy has sparked a wider conversation about the treatment of women in Hollywood and the importance of creating a safe and respectful work environment. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this will impact Renner's career and the projects he was involved in with Zhou.
