Jeremy Renner has threatened to take legal action against accuser Yi Zhou following her shocking allegations against him.
The Marvel star, 54, reportedly slapped the Chinese filmmaker with a cease-and-desist letter on Friday, per TMZ.
In the letter, which was fired off by powerhouse attorney Marty Singer, Renner claimed that Zhou, 38, was the one who came on to him when they first met to discuss her documentary “Chronicles of Disney” in July.
But following what he described in the cease-and-desist letter as a “brief consensual encounter,” the “Hawkeye” star said he told Zhou he wasn’t interested in a sexual relationship when they met again in August.
Even more surprising was Renner’s allegation that Zhou couldn’t keep her hands off him when he drove her to the airport following their collaboration on the Disney doc, and that she proceeded to send him “hundreds” of explicit text messages after they went their separate ways.
“I want him inside of me so badly so so badly f–k me, babe,” Zhou purportedly wrote in one of the many alleged messages, while she talked about playing with Renner’s “fake giant thing” and “the real giant” in another.
Although the “Avengers” star admitted that he and Zhou shared the one “brief consensual encounter,” he argued that he never gave the filmmaker a reason to believe they were anything more than colleagues after the fact.
He went on to accuse Zhou of threatening to “harm him publicly” unless he agreed to promote “Chronicles of Disney” and “make it falsely appear” that they were in a relationship.
Additionally, Renner warned that if Zhou didn’t stop spreading “false, fabricated and salacious lies” about him, she would face legal action and possibly millions in liability.
The Post has reached out to Renner’s reps for comment.
Zhou’s allegations against Renner emerged earlier this week when she took to Instagram to accuse the “Tag” star of sending her “a string of unwanted/unsolicited pornographic images of himself” on direct message and WhatsApp in June.
She alleged that the pair went on to form a romantic relationship while working on “Chronicles of Disney” together, although things later took a turn for the worse during a meeting to discuss the doc at Renner’s home in Reno, Nevada.
“I was discussing about the doc logistics, then he drank a bottle of wine alone and got angry and angry yelling for two hours,” Zhou told Daily Mail on Thursday. “I was so scared for my life.”
Zhou further claimed that the “Bourne Legacy” star threatened to call US Immigration and Customs Enforcement when she confronted him about his allegedly scary behavior.
“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 filmmaker claimed on Instagram.
As for why she decided to share her allegations now, Zhou explained that it took her a long time “before I had the courage to write this and speak up.”
She added that her experience was “a story of survival against domestic aggression, porn abuse and abuse of workplace and abuse as a woman.”
Renner, meanwhile, vehemently denied his film partner’s accusations before firing off his cease-and-desist letter and threatening legal action if the allegations continued.
“The allegations being made are totally inaccurate and untrue,” the “Captain America: Civil War” star’s rep told Page Six in a statement on Friday.
Renner’s attorney called the allegations “false, outrageous and highly defamatory” in a statement to People.
“The true facts are that Ms. Zhou has relentlessly and aggressively harassed and pursued my client for months with no reciprocation on my client’s part, other than a single brief encounter on July 12, 2025,” Singer added.
