Jeremy Renner’s ex-wife claims the actor shoved a gun in his mouth and threatened to kill her.

Sonni Pacheco, 28, alleges that last November Renner, 48, was drunk and high on cocaine at a club when he told someone he “could not deal with (Sonni) anymore, and he just wanted her gone,” according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

Renner has vigorously denied the claims and has instead accused Pacheco of having a drug problem.

Her filings also state that Renner put a gun into his mouth and threatened to kill himself before firing the gun into the ceiling while their six-year-old daughter Ava was asleep in her bedroom.

On top of that, Pacheco claims her ex has a history of substance abuse as well as verbal and emotional abuse and was under the influence numerous times while having physical custody of their daughter.

Documents also say Renner left cocaine on a bathroom counter that was within reach of Ava, the gossip site reported.

Pacheco also claims that the nanny once overheard Renner say he was going to her house to kill her and then kill himself because “It was better that Ava had no parents than to have (Sonni) as a mother.”

Additionally, court documents say Renner had several women come to his house, including “Tayler, Kelley, Natalie, Summer, Faith, Christina, Naz and Jessica”.

“The wellbeing of his daughter Ava has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy,” Renner’s rep told Page Six. “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.”

Renner and Pacheco are in a heated custody battle, and the American Pie actress is asking the judge to grant her sole custody with monitored visitation for Renner.

Pacheco filed to divorce Renner in December 2014, just 10 months after they secretly got married. They originally agreed on shared custody in April 2015.

In July 2014, Pacheco alleged the actor was nearly $74,000 behind on paying child support. In September 2016, Renner finally agreed to pay up $23,000 for support and $35,000 to cover her legal and accounting fees.

A rep for Renner didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
