I needed to show her that I was actually really recovering in a really big way," he added.

Jeremy Renner on where he stands with his ex-wife a decade after humiliating divorce and bitter custody battle
It's been a decade since Jeremy Renner finalized his humiliating divorce and bitter custody battle with ex-wife Sonni Pacheco during which she accused him of being an 'unfit parent' with a substance abuse problem and alleged he threatened to kill her. In old legal docs, the 37-year-old realtor-sculpture artist alleged there were lines of cocaine on a bathroom counter within reach of their then six-year-old daughter Ava and the 54-year-old action star would leave her unsupervised for hours while engaging in threesomes or passed out drunk. Sonni claimed Jeremy once put a gun in his mouth, threatened to kill himself, and then fired the gun into the ceiling while Ava was asleep in her bedroom. Pacheco also alleged that Renner once bit their child's shoulder and claimed their nanny overheard him threatening to kill herself and then himself because 'it was better that Ava had no parents than to have [Sonni] as a mother.' 'Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody,' the two-time Oscar nominee told The Guardian last Saturday. 'No, [they weren't true] and they happen all the time. It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanizes people.' Jeremy clarified that the mark on Ava's shoulder was from a car seat belt that had 'pinched' her and, as for the womanizing and drug allegations, he lived 'a carnival-type life' at the time. 'Yeah, yeah. Hosting. I just got tired of hosting. And all the clean-up. Hehehe! So by 2019 I was tired of all that. [COVID-19] came around and helped me bounce that all out. I just wanted to slow down,' Renner explained. 'The place in LA was where I was raising my child, where everyone learned to ride a bike and swim. I also had my music there. I had my meetings there. It was my dating life. It was my club. It was my home. It was all the things that encompass someone's life. 'If you meet a person and grab a pint, instead of meeting up at a pub, I'd just do it at my house. It was like an open-door policy for all my family and friends. It was great for them. So that's not a normal home. Homes aren't usually like that or run like that way. So that's no longer.' When asked if he was scared of Sonni gaining sole custody of Ava, the My Next Breath author scoffed: 'That's just lawyers talking. That's lawyers arguing. The [joint] custody was easy.' '[Ava's] mom and I get along very well, and we're in each other's lives. It's lovely,' Jeremy shockingly revealed. Sonni alleged that Jeremy once bit their child's shoulder and claimed their nanny overheard him threatening to kill herself and then himself because 'it was better that Ava had no parents than to have [Sonni] as a mother' (pictured in 2016) Renner told The Guardian last Saturday: 'Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody' (pictured December 10) Since January 21, Renner has been hard at work executive producing and reprising his role as Mike McLusky on the fourth season of Paramount+ crime thriller Mayor of Kingstown 'It's great. She's got a new baby and she sends me beautiful pictures.' Renner - who's been romantically linked to actress Eiza González and hairstylist Amber Monson - is currently single and 'pretty focused' on his now 12-year-old daughter and his foster kid charity, RennerVation Foundation. Since January 21, the SAG Award winner has been hard at work executive producing and reprising his role as Mike McLusky on the fourth season of Paramount+ crime thriller Mayor of Kingstown. Jeremy also has a mystery role in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion sequel Wake Up Dead Man - premiering December 12 on Netflix - alongside Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Kerry Washington, and Andrew Scott.

Here's How Jeremy Renner Responded To Allegations That He Threatened To Kill His Ex-Wife
This post contains discussion of self-harm and alleged domestic abuse. Related: You may or may not know that Jeremy Renner got divorced from Sonni Pacheco in 2015. They share custody of one child, Ava. Jon Kopaloff / Getty Images for Level 8, GP/Star Max / GC Images Initially, Sonni filed for sole custody during divorce proceedings in 2019 — and in her claim, she made allegations that Jeremy had threatened to kill her. She also alleged that he stuck a gun in his mouth and fired the gun into the ceiling. At the time, Jeremy's lawyer provided a statement to People claiming that Sonni's allegations were "one-sided." 'The well-being of his daughter Ava has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy,' they said. 'This is a matter for the court to decide. It's important to note the dramatizations made in Sonni's declaration are a one-sided account made with a specific goal in mind.' Related: In a new interview with the Guardian, Jeremy addressed the allegations for the first time — and, somewhat surprisingly, it seems like he brought them up himself in the conversation. "Whatever stress I've had in life I've tried to find a way of laughing through it," he initially said in the interview. "And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out — you think, 'I'm just going to have a laugh at this stuff.'" Related: After the interviewer asked him which "stuff" he was referring to, Jeremy replied, "Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody." The interviewer then asked Jeremy if he was referring to Sonni's allegations, and he replied, "Yeah, yeah." After being pressed as to if there was any "truth to them," Jeremy said, 'No, and they happen all the time. It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanizes people.' Later in the interview, the writer asked Jeremy how he felt when the allegations first came to light. 'It doesn't matter to me what people say,' he replied. '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.' Related: Jeremy also claimed that getting joint custody of Ava was "easy," and that he and Sonni now "get along very well." "We're in each other's lives. It's lovely," he said, claiming that Sonni sends him "beautiful pictures" of her new baby. When the interviewer said that he hadn't previously heard the two were still in contact, Jeremy replied, 'Well, that's because it's no one's business. It's no one's business.'

Jeremy Renner addresses his ex-wife's allegation that he threatened to kill her
Jeremy Renner has finally addressed damning claims made by his ex-wife. In a new interview with The Guardian, Renner, 54, spoke about how his ex Sonni Pacheco claimed during their 2019 divorce proceedings that he allegedly threatened to kill her and himself. 'Whatever stress I've had in life I've tried to find a way of laughing through it,' the Hawkeye star said. 'And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out — you think, 'I'm just going to have a laugh at this stuff.'' When asked to elaborate on the 'stuff' he was referring to, Renner responded: 'Being accused of things you've not done, right? That doesn't feel good to anybody. It certainly doesn't feel good when you're a celebrity and it's known to everybody.' 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 dehumanises 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 10 months before the model filed for divorce in December 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. Renner 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 mum 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.'
