Jeremy Renner’s attorney is pushing back against claims that the actor reached a “respectful resolution” with filmmaker Yi Zhou, saying no agreement was made and accusing her of misrepresenting the situation, as per TMZ. Earlier, the outlet had reported that the Marvel star and the Chinese filmmaker were “putting their differences aside” for the sake of their joint projects: Chronicles of Disney and Stardust Future.
No deal between Jeremy Renner and Yi Zhou
According to the outlet, Yi Zhou earlier told TMZ that she “reached a peaceful and mutually respectful resolution” with actor Jeremy Renner. The 34-year-old also thanked Renner’s powerhouse attorney Marty Singer for the negotiations.
“We appreciate everyone who supported a positive outcome and embraced a forward-looking, collaborative path,” Zhou said, per TMZ. She added that the resolution allowed both parties to move forward with “meaningful work that uplifts audiences around the world”.
In an update, Marty Singer told the outlet that there was no deal between Renner and Zhou. “There was no deal reached with Yi Zhou to resolve my client Jeremy Renner’s substantial multi-million dollar claims against her,” Singer said.
Singer claimed Zhou has simply fabricated a story. “She was notified that there was no deal with her, including her use of Jeremy Renner in an animated movie, when he only agreed to be in a documentary,” Singer added.
