Actor Jeremy Renner is being accused of “threatening to kill” his wife in a new lawsuit.
The Marvel actor is currently locked into a bitter custody battle with his ex Sonni PAcheco, over their six-year-old daughter, Ava.
The Canadian model married the Hollywood star back in January 2014 before filing for divorce later that year.
Now she is accusing the Avengers actor of drug use and emotional abuse.
In court papers, Sonni has claimed that Jeremy stuck a gun in his mouth before shooting into the ceiling, after already threatening to kill her.
Jeremy was allegedly high on cocaine and “could not deal with her anymore, and he just wanted her gone,” the lawsuit says.
The model is also alleging that the actor took cocaine while looking after Ava and once left the drug on a bathroom counter within the child’s reach.
A representative for Renner told People magazine has said his primary focus has always been his daughter.
“The well-being of his daughter Ava has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy.
“This is a matter for the court to decide. It’s important to note the dramatisations made in Sonni’s declaration are a one-sided account made with a specific goal in mind.”
“This is a matter for the court to decide,” the statement added.
