Jeremy Renner isn’t backing down after his sexual harassment accuser Yi Zhou declared their dispute resolved.
The filmmaker claimed over the weekend that she and the Marvel star had reached a “peaceful and mutually respectful resolution” after her bombshell accusations against him last week.
But Renner’s attorney immediately pushed back, telling TMZ no such deal exists.
Zhou’s latest statements come after she publicly accused Renner, her filmmaking collaborator, of threatening to “call ICE” on her and sending “intimate” photos, detailing their relationship in an Instagram post and a follow-up interview with the Daily Mail on November 13. She also alleged he “entered into written agreements” with her before later denying involvement.
Renner rejected her account, with his rep telling Page Six, “The allegations being made are totally inaccurate and untrue.”
Singer further claimed Zhou was retaliating after Renner “rejected her romantic advances,” and that she had allegedly sent “hundreds of unsolicited and unwanted messages.”
Renner has since issued a cease-and-desist letter accusing her of making “false, fabricated and salacious lies.”
A few days later, Zhou claimed that she has privately resolved the matter with the Hawkeye actor and declared that the pair will continue to collaborate on their joint projects, Stardust Future and Chronicles of Disney.
Zhou even thanked Renner’s attorney Marty Singer, saying he “headed up the negotiations,” and added, “We appreciate everyone who supported a positive outcome and embraced a forward-looking, collaborative path.”
But Singer swiftly shut that down.
“There was no deal reached with Yi Zhou to resolve my client Jeremy Renner’s substantial multi million dollar claims against her,” he told TMZ, adding he had “no knowledge why Yi Zhou would fabricate a story that a deal has been made with her.”
