It looks like the legal drama between Jeremy Renner and his ex-wife Sonni Pacheco just took a shocking turn. The Avengers: Endgame actor has just accused Pacheco of stealing thousands from their daughter's trust fund to pay for her lawyers.
Renner recently submitted new documents which were obtained by People and an excerpt of one report reveals that Pacheco was taking money from the trust fund.
"In an email to Mr. Renner's business manager, Jeffrey Jacobs, dated April 23, 2019, [Pacheco] admitted transferring funds from the minor's trust account to her personal account in violation of the Court's Order, stating: ‘The money transfers to my bank were to keep my afloat/provide [the minor] Christmas presents/birthday gift bags and essentials for her bday party – after all my savings were spent on lawyers/child custody evaluator," the document read.
Interestingly, Pacheco was quick to respond to the accusations.
"Anyone who is a parent knows that the most important thing in the world is their child's health and safety. Over the years it's hard to fathom what I've seen and what people have told me they've seen in regards to Jeremy's disturbing actions while our child is in his care. Unfortunately, these actions have landed me in a position to need to retain legal support, undergo a child custody evaluation, and now have a plan parent coordinator," Pacheco said in a statement.
Pacheco insisted that her actions were necessary due to her effort to keep their daughter away from Renner.
"It is hard for me to stay muted because, after all this time, money, and energy spent putting safety measures in place to keep our daughter safe while once again in Jeremy's care, these measures are still being violated as of today," she said.
Pacheco had previously accused Renner of being abusive and that the Hawkeye star had threatened to kill her.
