Jeremy Renner is addressing Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou's claims that he sent her 'unwanted/unsolicited' sexual images of himself via social media and threatened to call ICE on her. The actor's attorney Marty Singer tells PEOPLE in a statement that Zhou's allegations are 'false, outrageous and highly defamatory.'
Edit: more info exists now. Haven’t updated my assessment, this was based primarily on what was in the article at the time.
Zhou tells PEOPLE in a statement she included Renner in her projects “because I thought and promised to me we were in an evolving love relationship.”
That right there really discredits her claims… if she thought they were in a relationship, why would the messages be considered unsolicited by her?
Kind of seems like she got the wrong impression and then got embarrassed/defensive about it and escalated stuff.
They probably did get in text arguments, and if any of what she is saying turns out to be true, it would be nice to at least see context. The ICE comment is a weird thing to be fabricated, but I could see it being something that was either a knee-jerk reaction, or potentially blown out of proportion. Either way, would really help to see context.
