Jeremy Renner pays no mind to the “killing” allegations made by his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco. In an interview with The Guardian, the 54-year-old American actor reflected on the accusations brought forth by Pacheco during their divorce proceedings and custody battle over their only child, Ava Berlin Renner.
Notably, Renner married Pacheco in 2013. Ten months into their marriage, and following the birth of their daughter, she filed for divorce in December 2014. Pacheco alleged that The Avengers star had threatened to kill her and, on one occasion, even placed a gun in his mouth.
The Mayor of Kingston actor, who has consistently denied these claims, recalled that period, stating, “Whatever stress I’ve had in life, I’ve tried to find a way of laughing through it. And that’s where sometimes cynicism comes out — you think, ‘I’m just going to have a laugh at this stuff.’” When asked by the interviewer what he was referring to, Renner explicitly stated, “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.” Discussing public scrutiny regarding allegations, he quipped, “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.”
