Jeremy Renner opens up on his ex-wife Sonni Pachecos allegations, says 'It certainly doesnt feel good'
He talked about allegations 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," said the actor, adding, "And that's where sometimes cynicism comes out you think, 'I'm just going to laugh at this stuff'," according to the New York Post.
Renner continued, "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 later shared that Pacheco's claims were not true.
"No, and they happen all the time," he shared. "It's all the salaciousness that happens out there. It's clickbait, and it hurts my feelings, and it dehumanises people," as reported by the New York Post.
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," as per the outlet.
Renner and Pacheco were married for ten 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.
She also reportedly accused Renner of drug use and leaving cocaine on a bathroom counter where Ava could reach, according to the New York Post.
However, he denied all of Pacheco's allegations at the time.
Pacheco fought for sole custody of Ava, but she and Renner currently have joint custody.
"Her mom and I get along very well, and we're in each other's lives," he shared, adding, "It's lovely."
Renner also shared 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, according to the New York Post. (ANI)

AR Rahman shares excitement about collaborating with Hans Zimmer for Ramayana: ‘Who would have thought…'
Oscar winners AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer have joined forces to compose the music for Nitesh Tiwari's upcoming film Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, and Yash as Ravana. In a recent interview, Rahman opened up about working on Ramayana's music. In a conversation with Connect Cine, Rahman was asked about entering the 'Rahman 2.0' phase and how he is keeping pace with the rapidly changing music industry. 'I think I am born everyday. The whole world is changing everyday. A few thoughts have to go and new thoughts have to come,' he said. The singer added that he ensures his core remains constant despite the changes. 'But, the core of me is the same. What I believe in and what we can do with my music and how I can share it with people who love me, accept, or don't accept me. My efforts and the whole intention are the same. But, there are many other changes happening because the studios are different, artistes are different, the way they are recording is different, the way we vibe is different and the projects are different too.' ALSO READ | 'AR Rahman is chotta school ka bacha', says Anuradha Paudwal, recalls his teaching approach: 'Aap aisa gaa rahi hain…' Expressing his excitement about collaborating with Hans Zimmer for Ramayana, AR Rahman shared, 'Who would have imagined scoring with Hans Zimmer on a project like Ramayana, which is one of the biggest projects. It's our Indian culture and I am really proud of that project. I hope that everything goes well.' Rahman further shed light on the process of working with Zimmer. 'The first few sessions we had were great. The first session was in London, the second one was in LA, and the third was in Dubai. Wherever Hans travels, I also find a base there. He is very similar, I mean…how curious he is about the culture and how open he is to criticism. He also heads the narrative, where he says, hey I can't understand this, can I bring in a Western perspective?' Produced by Namita Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana also features Lara Dutta, Ravi Dubey, and Sunny Deol. The part one of the film is slated for a Diwali 2026 release and part two will be released in 2027.

Royal Setup, Luxury Furniture And Secret Chambers: How Karnataka Conman Easily Trapped Businessmen, Industrialists
Mangaluru Police was recently shocked after it started an investigation into a multi-crore scam case where big businessmen and industrialists were trapped by a conman. The findings were shocking. Police were startled and the victims were in fear. The trap was simple. The bait was luxury. On offer were huge business and personal loans. Victims were influential, and the chances of getting caught were minimal. Police have arrested a 45-year-old man identified as Rohan Saldanha, who posed as a high-level financier, trapping big industrialists on the pretext of providing them a high-value chain. What Mangaluru Police thought to be a dark hideout for criminals, turned out to be a luxurious home with secret chambers. After a victim filed a complaint, Mangaluru Police arrested Rohan Saldanha—a man now at the center of a massive financial scam. Investigators believe he may have cheated dozens more. The scale of his operation is only beginning to emerge. Saldanha posed as a wealthy financier. His trap? Offering massive loans—sometimes over Rs 100 crore—at dirt-cheap interest rates. #WATCH | Karnataka | Police conducted a raid at the residence of fraudster Rohan Saldana and detained him, late last night in Mangaluru — ANI (@ANI) July 18, 2025 His base of operations was a palatial bungalow in Jappinamogaru, Mangaluru. The opulence wasn't just for show. It was a prop to lure high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs into his web. He would invite them over, flash luxury, and promise easy money. To make it look legal, he even introduced a fake lawyer—using the name of a well-known legal expert from the region. Clients would speak to this "lawyer" for document checks and formalities. Then came the bait—pay stamp duty, registration fees, and other charges. Some handed over crores. One victim paid Rs 10 crore. Once he had the money, Saldanha vanished. Police raids at his mansion revealed a shocking setup. Behind expensive furnishings and royal interiors were hidden passages and secret rooms. Closets led to concealed chambers—likely built to help him escape or lie low during investigations. In just a few months, authorities estimate he swindled Rs 40–50 crore. The actual amount over the years could be far higher. So far, three FIRs have been filed—two in Mangaluru, one in Chitradurga. But officers believe many victims are still silent—either out of fear, shame, or both. The man who lived like a king is now being hunted like a fugitive. And the true extent of his scam may be even darker than imagined.

Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey' sells out Imax 70MM screenings a year in advance, resale prices hit $400
In an unprecedented display of anticipation, Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic 'The Odyssey' has sold out nearly all of its Imax 70mm preview screenings a full year before its scheduled release. The film, a reimagining of Homer's legendary tale, will feature Matt Damon as Odysseus and is being shot entirely on Imax film cameras — a historic first for a commercial feature. At midnight Eastern Time on Thursday, Imax officially announced the early ticket release via its social media channels, offering seats for a limited number of 70mm screenings at 25 to 26 select locations across North America. These screenings are scheduled for the weekend of July 17–19, 2026, with an additional preview on Thursday afternoon, July 16. Within an hour of the announcement, approximately 95 percent of the tickets — priced at an average of $25 to $28 — had been purchased, generating around $1.5 million in advance sales. Industry sources report that demand quickly outstripped supply, leading to a secondary market surge with some tickets being resold for as much as $300 to $400 on platforms like eBay. This marks the first known instance in cinema history where tickets have been made available an entire year ahead of a film's release. The fervour reflects Nolan's dedicated fanbase and the lingering impact of his 2023 Oscar-winning success 'Oppenheimer', which performed exceptionally well in Imax cinemas. With 'The Odyssey', Nolan continues his tradition of blending technical innovation with narrative ambition, and early sales suggest audiences are eager to witness his latest vision on the grandest screen possible. Apart from Matt Damon, the film will also feature a huge ensemble cast including Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, and Jon Bernthal. This film will see the return of Nolan's core crew such as Hoyte van Hoytema as the cinematographer, Ludwig Goransson as the composer, and Emma Thomas as the producer.
