Jeremy Renner may be known as
Hawkeye from
Marvel's Avengers, but his past is shrouded in controversy and drama.
His marriage to Sonni Pacheco ended in divorce, shared custody, and a court battle. During the divorce settlement, Pacheco made serious allegations against Renner, including physical abuse, drug abuse, and death threats.
She claimed that
Jeremy emotionally, physically, and sexually abused their daughter, as well as placing a weapon in his mouth and threatening to pull the trigger. In response to these allegations,
Renner denied everything and accused
Pacheco of mental health and substance issues. He even underwent random drug testing and hired a mental health specialist to prove he could provide a safe environment for his daughter.
Renner's team also accused Pacheco of taking advantage of Renner's fame to attempt to extort more money from him. According to
TMZ, Renner's team put together a timeline of his film releases and the history of
Pacheco's allegations against him, suggesting that Pacheco plans her attack to bring
Renner bad press during his movie runs.
