Jeremy Renner on his ex-wife's allegation that he threatened to kill her

Bullseye.

In a recent conversation with The Guardian, Jeremy Renner addressed allegations made by his former wife, Sonni Pacheco, during their 2019 divorce. She claimed he threatened both her life and his own.

“I’ve always tried to navigate life’s stresses with humor,” the “Hawkeye” star shared. “Sometimes that can come off as cynicism — you just decide, ‘I’ll find the humor in all of this.'”

When prompted to explain what he meant by “this stuff,” Renner clarified: “Being wrongly accused of something, you know? That’s unpleasant for anyone. It’s particularly challenging when you’re a public figure and everyone is aware of it.”

Renner then confirmed that he was speaking about Pacheco’s allegations and insisted her claims weren’t true.

“No, and they happen all the time,” he stated. “It’s all the salaciousness that happens out there. It’s clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanizes people.”

The Oscar nominee also explained that he ignored the public’s reaction when the allegations first emerged.

“It doesn’t matter to me what people say,” the “Avengers” star shared. “They’re saying it for their own reasons and not for the right reasons or the truth. And I’m used to that, because I’m a public figure. I don’t read people’s reviews, I don’t read people’s comments. I don’t care. That’s not part of my life.”

Renner and Pacheco, 37, were married for ten months before the model filed for divorce in Dec. 2014.

During their subsequent custody battle over daughter Ava, now 12, Pacheco claimed Renner threatened to kill her and once stuck a gun in his mouth and shot into the ceiling while Ava was in her room, according to TMZ.

The model also reportedly accused Renner of drug use and leaving cocaine on a bathroom counter where Ava could reach.

The “Avengers” star denied all of Pacheco’s allegations at the time.

Pacheco fought for sole custody of Ava, but she and Renner currently have joint custody.

When asked by The Guardian if he feared losing custody of his daughter, Renner said: “That’s just lawyers talking. That’s lawyers arguing. The custody was easy.” 

“Her mom and I get along very well, and we’re in each other’s lives,” he further revealed. “It’s lovely.”

Renner also stated that his relationship with his ex-wife is “no one’s business.”

“It’s great,” he said. “She’s got a new baby and she sends me beautiful pictures.”

Pacheco welcomed her daughter Wylder with hockey player Nate Thompson in March 2023.

Renner, for his part, told The Guardian that he isn’t dating someone “at the moment.”
