Jeremy Renner addresses ex-wife's abuse allegations: ‘It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings'
In a candid new interview with The Guardian, actor Jeremy Renner has addressed the serious allegations made against him by ex-wife Sonni Pacheco during their 2019 divorce and custody proceedings. The 'Hawkeye' and 'Avengers' star said he was falsely accused and described the experience as both painful and dehumanising. 'Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody,' Renner said, referring to Pacheco's past claims that he had allegedly threatened to kill her and himself. 'It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody.' Pacheco, a Canadian model, was married to Renner for ten months before filing for divorce in December 2014. During the custody dispute over their daughter Ava, now 12, Pacheco alleged that Renner once put a gun in his mouth, fired into the ceiling while their daughter was in the house, and left drugs within reach of the child. Renner denied all allegations at the time. In his recent interview, Renner described the media's coverage of these claims as exploitative and damaging: 'It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanises people.' While Pacheco reportedly sought sole custody of their daughter, the former couple currently share joint custody. Asked if he ever feared losing custody, Renner dismissed the idea: 'That's just lawyers talking. That's lawyers arguing. The custody was easy.' He went on to say that their co-parenting dynamic has since improved: 'Her mum and I get along very well, and we're in each other's lives. It's lovely.' Despite their turbulent history, Renner now prefers to keep their relationship private. 'It's no one's business,' he stated firmly. On the work front, Jeremy was last seen in 'Mayor of Kingston'. He will next be seen in a pivotal role in 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery'. The film will be the third film in the Knives Out franchise, led by Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc. The film will also feature Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church. Directed by Rian Johnson, the film will release on December 12, 2025, on Netflix.

Chitar Oli's young sculptors shaping Bappa with devotion
Nagpur: With just over 45 days away, Chitar Oli, the hub of idol-makers, is already alive with the rhythm of chisels, the scent of wet clay, and the silent devotion of artisans. But this year, the spotlight isn't just on the idols, it's on the young hands shaping them. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Across these age-old workshops, a new generation of sculptors is stepping into their fathers' shoes, not out of compulsion, but out of passion. They have chosen clay over keyboards, tradition over trends. "My brother is an engineer, but I couldn't leave this behind. I grew up watching my father breathe life into Ganesh idols. This isn't just work, it's who I am," says a young sculptor, carefully smoothing Bappa's trunk with a wet sponge. Divyang Ajaykar, another young murtikar, echoes this emotional bond: "My father started this in Mumbai before moving here. For us, murti-making isn't business. It's bhakti. Now, this work is my worship." What's heartening is how these young artisans are also adapting. This year, more and more devotees are asking for eco-friendly idols, especially those made with shadu clay. "There's a clear preference for aesthetics that feel soft, serene, and soulful — light pastel colours, minimal decorations, and calm facial expressions. People don't want glitter and loud hues anymore," says a senior artisan. This evolving taste reflects a deeper cultural shift. "Post-Covid, people want idols that radiate peace. They're choosing simplicity over grandeur," says another sculptor. The aesthetic now leans toward idols that look divine, delicate tilaks, folded palms, soft smiles, and eco-safe materials. Mandals, too, are responding to this change. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While many are still finalizing their themes, others have already placed orders. Most of them are opting for compact idols that are light to carry and easy to immerse. Natural colours, biodegradable decorations, and water-soluble paints are in demand when it comes to idols for homes too. "We come here every year as a family to choose our Bappa," says a devotee, Sujata Deshmukh, browsing through rows of small clay idols. "We always go for shadu idols. It feels right natural, sacred." Ramesh Gokhale, who booked his idol weeks in advance, says, "We always look for an idol that has a calm, smiling face. You can feel the devotion in the details in the idols." Ved Jagtap, who came with his father, shares his excitement. "I wanted a peach and white Ganpati with a soft smile and we found exactly what I imagined!" he says. "We make sure the clay is pure, the paints are chemical-free, and even the accessories are kept simple," shares an artisan mixing natural dyes. "Earlier, it was about standing out. Now, it's about staying grounded." After the pandemic lull, there's cautious optimism in the air. "We aren't back to full strength yet, but the orders are increasing. The joy is coming back," says an artisan. "When I work, I feel my father's presence in every curve I shape. This is his blessing. This is my offering," says a young sculptor.
