Jeremy Renner’s professional collaborator has accused the actor of sending inappropriate content to gain her favor, including intimate photos and explicit videos. She also described his behavior during drunken outbursts that left her feeling threatened, culminating in a threat to involve immigration authorities after their relationship soured.

Yi Zhou, a 37-year-old filmmaker from China who has worked on a documentary and an animated film with the 54-year-old Marvel star, brought these accusations to light in a series of Instagram posts on Monday.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Zhou recounted a troubling incident during a film meeting at Renner’s home. She described how Renner became heavily intoxicated and shouted for two hours, prompting her to seek refuge in a bathroom out of fear.

“I was discussing the documentary logistics when he consumed an entire bottle of wine and started shouting for two hours,” Zhou explained.

Concerned for her safety, she sent her location to her team, family, and colleagues at Disney to ensure they were aware of her whereabouts in case anything happened.

“I had to lock myself in a room to feel safe, praying he wouldn’t enter during the night since he was extremely angry. I remained silent, terrified for my life,” Zhou shared.

Alleged texts with her Disney colleagues during the incident show Zhou calling Renner ‘violent’, but also replying ‘yes I should be ok’ when asked ‘Do you think you will be safe staying there?’

The documentarian shared what she said were her texts with colleagues during the August 20 incident in which she described Renner’s alleged drunken ranting.

‘Can you lock yourself in the bathroom? He sounds crazy,’ one co-worker wrote.

‘I did lock hope he can’t open,’ Zhou replied. ‘I m [so] worried he yelled for 2 hours with one bottle of wine down alone.’

In her recent Instagram posts, Zhou claimed she had ‘lived with fear for my safety and deep distress.

‘It is with deep regret, sadness, and disappointment that I am compelled to share a truth I have been holding inside for too long,’ she wrote.

Another message from that day showed a coworker expressing concern for her safety and urging her to share her location 'in case something happens.' Zhou also said she was ’safe’ and ‘ok’ in the alleged texts

Zhou also claimed Renner sent her a screenshot of a short porn clip featuring a man and woman, along with the message, ‘This ok???’ 

‘No woman, filmmaker, or creative should have to work under such emotional and psychological pressure while trying to protect her name and the integrity of her work.’

She accused the Hurt Locker actor of ‘misconduct’ in the post.

‘Mr Renner first contacted me directly in June, sending personal and intimate photographs of himself, behavior that, according to public reports, he has exhibited before,’ she wrote.

Zhou previously posted a picture of a man’s naked torso on her Instagram stories, and she told the Daily Mail it was a photo Renner sent her, unsolicited.

‘I have a collection of those photos and the porn gifs that he sent,’ she said.

Zhou shared with the Daily Mail a screenshot of a short porn video clip Renner allegedly texted her on WhatsApp in June, depicting a male and female porn actor in a sex scene, with an accompanying drooling emoji and the message ‘This ok ???’

‘He convinced me of his sincerity, saying he had been single for a long time and open to a long-term relationship,’ she wrote in her bombshell public posts on Monday. ‘I believed in him, in the power of love, and in the possibility of redemption.’

Zhou claimed Renner convinced her he wanted a serious relationship - only to later make unwanted sexual advances, work with her professionally and then deny their relationship altogether

In her interview with the Daily Mail, Zhou said that Renner had approached her with sexual advances, worked with her professionally, then later denied their relationship.

‘I did not reach out to him, he pursued me,’ she said. ‘I didn’t even know his name, never watched a movie of his.

‘He used me and denied me and denied our work.’

Fans had speculated about Zhou’s relationship with Renner after she posted videos on her Instagram in September of herself riding with him in his convertible car near his home in Reno, Nevada.

Last month she told the Daily Mail that she had been dating the actor. 

But Zhou slammed him in her Monday Instagram posts for failing to publicly promote the two movies she made with him: a documentary about Disney workers called Chronicles of Disney in which he was a key interviewee, and an animated feature called Stardust Future for which he performed a voiceover.

‘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,’ the Chinese filmmaker wrote.

The alleged breaking point came after she privately confronted him about sending explicit photos, to which he reportedly threatened to call immigration on her, according to texts she shared to the Daily Mail. Zhou refused to provide the rest of Renner’s alleged cut-off message

The Daily Mail obtained a screenshot of alleged WhatsApp texts between Zhou and Renner, in which she called him a ‘pig’, accusing him of using ‘apps to send d**k pix’, then adding ‘no one said anything – so far’.

Renner responded: ‘Immigration will be notified of your-‘ with the rest of the message cut off.

Zhou refused to provide the Daily Mail with the rest of Renner’s alleged text.

‘Such behavior is unacceptable and emblematic of the imbalance of power that continues to harm women in our industry,’ the filmmaker continued in her Instagram post.

‘This misinformation and intimidation have not only caused personal and reputational harm to me but have also undermined the collective creative work and integrity of all the artisans who contributed to this film.

‘It took me long time, before I had the courage to write this and speak up,’ she added in the last of her three posts. 

‘I thank my team, my agents / managers and friends / other women who supported me in voicing such a pain and humiliation I still have inside as I am typing these posts.’

Representatives for Renner have not responded to the Daily Mail.
