Jeremy Renner’s ex Sonni Pacheco is accusing ex Jeremy Renner of bullying after he accused her of ‘misappropriating’ money from their daughters trust fund.
The Avengers star filed court documents claiming the model/artist transferred nearly $50k from their seven-year-old daughter Ava’s trust fund to a personal bank account over a two-year period, according to People.
But Pacheco, 29, says there is no truth to the 49-year-old actor’s claims, telling Page Six she is ‘sick of being continually bullied’ by her ex.

Slamming her ex in an email to the publication, she said: ‘I am sick of being continually bullied, having my name slandered, and the truth muted.’
But according to court documents filed by Renner and company, Pacheco admitted to using the funds in an email.
In the documents, Renner claims the mother-of-one admitted to ‘transferring’ money in an April 29, 2019 email to his business manager.
In the alleged correspondence she reportedly admitted to ‘transferring [nearly $50,000] from the minor’s trust account to her personal account in violation of the Court’s Order.’
According to the legal filings, she stated that: ‘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.’
She is also accused of using an additional $10k, which court docs claim she said she used for ‘property taxes.’

Renner further alleged in the filing that Pacheco used $20,000 from the trust fund to pay her attorney’s fees in August 2019 and did the same using another $12,000 transfer in September.
Pacheco responded to the allegations saying that Renner’s ‘disturbing actions’ have caused her financial hardship.
Though she did not elaborate, she had previously accused the actor of shoving a gun in his mouth and threatening to kill her during a 2018 incident, reported by TMZ.
He denied the claims at the time, saying the accusations were ‘categorically not true and another straight-out character assassination made by Ms. Pacheco and her attorney.’
Pacheco went on to tell Page Six how her main focus is Ava’s health and safety.
‘Anyone who is a parent knows that the most important thing in the world is their child’s health and safety,’ she explained.
Fight: In late March, the actor asked a judge to reduce the amount of his monthly child support payments and accused Pacheco of using the money as a ‘slush fund’ for a high-end lifestyle
‘Over the years, its 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. This is NOT cheap.’
She claimed that she cannot discuss the ‘safety measures’ taken to protect her daughter due to a confidentiality agreement Renner and his attorneys made her sign in February.
Pacheco told Page Six that the agreement is keeping her from being able to properly refute these new accusations or challenge Renner’s recent request to reduce his child support payments from $30k to $11,000 a month due to the economic effects of COVID-19.

He also accused her of using the money as a ‘slush fund’ for her lavish lifestyle.
‘This is a small insight of what I have been dealing with over the years,’ Pacheco went on.
‘Which leads us to now, the upcoming court case — about me “Misappropriating Avas Funds” and Jeremy seeking to reduce child support. This is coming from a man who… are you still reading this story? If you are, this is the part when I’ve been muted. Which, honestly really sucks because the rest of it would make your jaw drop.’
Renner and Pacheco were married for a little under a year between 2014 and 2015. Daughter Ava was born in 2013.
