RENO, Nevada — “The Avengers” star Jeremy Renner was seriously injured while plowing snow in Reno, Nev., and is in critical condition.

Authorities and the actor's representative haven't said how the accident occurred, but the Washoe County Sheriff's Office said late Sunday that Renner had to be flown by helicopter to a hospital for treatment.

Renner, 51, is in critical condition although he is stable, the actor’s representative said Sunday.

Renner was the only person involved in Sunday's accident, and the sheriff's office said in a news release that it is investigating.

Renner plays Hawkeye, a sharp-shooting member of the superhero Avengers squad in Marvel's sprawling movie and television universe.

He is a two-time acting Oscar nominee, scoring back-to-back nods for “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town.” Renner's portrayal of a bomb disposal specialist in Iraq in 2009's “The Hurt Locker” helped turn him into a household name.

“The Avengers" in 2012 cemented him as part of Marvel's grand storytelling ambitions.

LONDON — Prince Harry has said he wants to have his father and brother back and that he wants “a family, not an institution.”

In an interview with Britain's ITV channel, due to be released Sunday, Harry is shown saying that “they feel as though it is better to keep us somehow as the villains” and that "they have shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile” — though it was not clear who he was referring to.

Harry, also known as the Duke of Sussex, and his wife Meghan have aired their grievances against the British monarchy since the couple stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and moved to California, where they now live with their two children.

Harry, 38, has previously spoken about his estrangement from his father, King Charles III, and elder brother Prince William since his departure from the U.K.

Harry's autobiography, titled “Spare” — recalling the saying “the heir and the spare” — is being released on Jan. 10.

LOS ANGELES — A woman who has previously said Steven Tyler had an illicit sexual relationship with her when she was a teenager is now suing the Aerosmith frontman for sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The lawsuit brought by Julia Misley was filed Tuesday under a 2019 California law that gave adult victims of childhood sexual assault a three-year window to file lawsuits for decades-old instances of assault.

The 65-year-old Misley, formerly known as Julia Holcomb, said in a statement that she wanted to seize “a new opportunity to take legal action against those that abused me in my youth.”

While the lawsuit doesn’t name Tyler, Misley identified him by name in a statement. She has also recounted her experiences with Tyler in prior interviews, and Tyler discussed a relationship with a teenage girl in two books, published in 2011 and 1997. The acknowledgements section of his memoir “Does The Noise In My Head Bother You?” thanks a “Julia Halcomb,” which Misley has said is a reference to her.

The lawsuit alleges Tyler “used his role, status, and power as a well-known musician and rock star to gain access to, groom, manipulate, exploit, sexually assault," Misley over a period of three years. As a result, she has suffered severe emotional injury as well as economic losses, the lawsuit said.

She met Tyler in 1973 at one of his shows and was later invited to his hotel room, where she said she told him she was 16. Tyler would have been 25 or 26 at the time. It says he engaged in “various acts of criminal sexual conduct" against Misley.

He engaged in sexual acts with her following multiple other shows, and in 1974 he became her legal guardian so that she could travel to him with shows, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleged that Misley became pregnant in 1975 as a result of having sex with Tyler, and that he coerced her into having an abortion.

Tyler further harmed Misley by publishing memoirs that detailed parts of their relationship without her knowledge or consent.

In Tyler’s 2011 memoir, he mentions meeting an unnamed 16-year-old “girlfriend to be.” He wrote thatgot her parents to sign over custody so he wouldn’t get arrested when she went on tour with him.

“By including Plaintiff’s name in the acknowledgements, he left the readers and the public without any doubt of Plaintiff’s identity,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit seeks monetary compensation of an unspecified amount.
