I have heard some really outrageous stories of celebrity crazy over the years, but this story about Jeremy Renner is basically “Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken on a boat with Natalie Wood” crazy. TMZ got ahold of some legal documents related to his divorce from ex-wife Sonni that make him look absolutely insane.
Jeremy Renner was coked up and drunk when he began rhapsodizing about killing his ex-wife Sonni, and the night ended with the actor shoving a gun in his mouth and threatening to kill himself … so claims Sonni in new legal docs.
I mean, if I were Jeremy Renner, I’d probably get drunk and high trying to forget about it, too.
Sonni alleges in one instance, the nanny overheard Jeremy say he was going to Sonni’s house to kill her and then kill himself, because “it was better that Ava had no parents than to have [Sonni] as a mother.”
That’s pretty messed up, though, seriously. She also claims he left coke lying around where their daughter could find it, which is essentially Drew Barrymore’s childhood.
Renner responded to the TMZ story with accusations of his own.
Jeremy is firing back in legal docs of his own at Sonni’s claims he abuses drugs and alcohol in front of their daughter … stating she’s making up the allegations because she’s pissed their relationship never worked out and looking for a cash grab.
Renner insists he does not abuse drugs or alcohol and even states he submitted to random drug testing for 3 months to defeat Sonni’s claims. According to Renner, those tests all came back negative and suggests Sonni is the one with a drug problem.
I’m almost inclined to believe Renner here because having seen him act I can’t imagine he’s a very good liar. But I find it equally hard to believe anyone would brag about being married to Jeremy Renner.
Renner says over the 1-year marriage, Sonni would brag to friends that she had “bagged an Avenger” and joked she wanted to introduce her own friends to fellow ‘Avenger’ cast members so they could “bag an Avenger as well.”
Jeremy Renner is an Avenger in the way that a place kicker is a football player; sure, he’s on the field and in the uniform, but no one actually thinks of you as a real part of the team.
Also funny that today is the day Disney decided to individually tweet every movie and TV show that will be on their streaming service, effectively flooding any mention of Renner of their followers Twitter timeline. I’m sure it was just a coincidence.
