Despite portraying one of Earth’s mightiest defenders on screen, it appears that Jeremy Renner may not be as pure in real life. Everyone has their problems, after all and nobody is perfect. Per a court filing, though, it’s been revealed that Renner’s substance abuse issues have torn his family apart, as his ex-wife, Sonni Pacheco, has filed a motion to change the current joint custody of their daughter Ava to sole custody, stemming from disturbing allegations about the actor.

Per the legal documents, as obtained by TMZ, Renner seemingly regularly abuses cocaine and alcohol, and behaves belligerently while doing so. In text messages sent to Pacheco while the actor was at a nightclub, he threatened to kill his ex-wife, while telling someone else that “he just wanted her gone.” On a separate occasion in November of 2018, Renner allegedly discharged a firearm into the ceiling of his daughter’s room while she was sleeping, after putting the gun in his own mouth and threatening to kill himself.

If this news is true, it paints a disturbing and sad home life for one of Hollywood’s biggest names.
