Scarlett Johansson and Other Former Costars of Jeremy Renner Are Not 'Abandoning' Him Amid Recent Allegations

Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson is among the prominent actresses publicly supporting Jeremy Renner as he faces sexual harassment claims, according to reports.

Filmmaker Yi Zhou alleges that the 54-year-old actor sent her explicit images and became aggressive during a meeting. Despite these claims, close friends of Renner emphasize that he will not be ostracized within the industry.

Jeremy has always treated his colleagues with respect, and he maintains genuine friendships with many of them, a source revealed. His relationships with former co-stars like Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen are particularly strong, and he shares a lasting professional bond with director Kathryn Bigelow, who directed him in his breakout film, The Hurt Locker.

The source added that these women believe the allegations may be motivated by financial gain rather than truth, and they continue to support Renner.

Zhou stated that she met Renner on August 20 to discuss a documentary project. She claims the actor became aggressive after drinking, prompting her to isolate herself. Renners representatives have dismissed these accusations as false, while Zhous team described him as professional but criticized the lack of support when she felt targeted by a supposed smear campaign.

According to insiders, Scarlett Johansson has strong confidence in Renners character. She has an excellent sense of judgment and sincerely believes Jeremy is a good person, the source said.
