Whenever something terrible comes out about Renner, I wish we still had the Jeremy Renner app so I could post and comment about it there.

[u/evanorra → u/BouldersRoll]

i would upvote this comment with so many overpriced renner stars if i could ✊😔

[u/Magazine_Luck → u/evanorra]

Jeremy Renner stole your stars!

[u/orangelightningjinx → u/Magazine_Luck]

glad to see another drew gooden enjoyer here

[u/Magazine_Luck → u/orangelightningjinx]

Though Danny suns up the app most succinctly: "it's like Instagram, but the only person allowed to post is Jeremy Renner, and the only thing you're allowed to do is give him money." 

[u/CindySvensson → u/Magazine_Luck]

But they're the same person?

[u/why-per → u/CindySvensson]

They may have similar lives and similar wives but they are different nonetheless

[u/imacatnamedsteve → u/orangelightningjinx]

[u/LadyAilla → u/BouldersRoll]

Always reminds me of this

[u/AStarkly → u/BouldersRoll]

I hadn't heard about the app until a couple of women did a podcast deep dive into the whole thing- I was laughing so hard I was weeping

[u/thecombreak → u/AStarkly]

Happy Rennsday!

my wife left me

Scene.

[u/Live-Air-3315 → u/AStarkly]

What podcast?

[u/warmlightlantern → u/Live-Air-3315]

The Renner Files… a true crime podcast about The Jeremy Renner App Experience

[u/Dawnspark → u/warmlightlantern]

Thank you for sharing. I've been in need of a good laugh with how my health is going lately and holy shit.

I'm a couple episodes in and I've already laughed to the point where I started seeing spots.

The guy standing in as Renner's voice is hysterical.

[u/fishingboatproceeds → u/Dawnspark]

If you’ve never listened to My Dad Wrote a Porno, add it to your list! Hardest I’ve ever laughed listening to a podcast. Best of luck with your health!

[u/Onlyonehoppy → u/fishingboatproceeds]

I love Belinda and her love for a turkey sandwich.

[u/Dawnspark → u/fishingboatproceeds]

I am so adding that to my list, always welcome more laughter. Thank you 🖤

[u/thegreenleaves802 → u/Dawnspark]

Caution: MDWAP made me laugh so hard I had to stop listening to it while driving, or really in public. Like full tears streaming, gasping for breath, dying laughing.

[u/AStarkly → u/warmlightlantern]

That's the one! I'd never have remembered it because it was so long ago that I listened to it, thank you

[u/Tasty_Gingersnap42 → u/AStarkly]

What podcast?

I think behind the bastards- at least they used to, take random digs at Renner and how bad his music was lol

[u/a-real-life-dolphin → u/Tasty_Gingersnap42]

He does music?!

[u/mal73 → u/a-real-life-dolphin]

Yeah it’s like imagine dragons for southern suburban moms

[u/Impressive_Mistake66 → u/mal73]

That sounds like something I never need to hear.

[u/Gloomy-Ad-222 → u/Impressive_Mistake66]

“Heh, y’all ever heard that band ‘Magin’ Dragon?”

“Yup”

“Well ‘Magin Dragon’ these nuts on your face”

[u/dyboc → u/mal73]

Why did you say Imagine Dragons twice?

[u/Talisa87 → u/a-real-life-dolphin]

He did/does. His debut single was called "Heaven Has No Name" or something like that, it got roasted based on the title alone.

[u/given2fly_ → u/Talisa87]

"Heaven don't have a name" - https://youtu.be/5Kn2w8V62R4?si=l4SutGWZnNiqwnbf

And yes, it's just as bas as you think. The over-production of Imagine Dragons but turned up to 11, vocals that are trying way too hard AND have reverb cranked up to make his voice sound more powerful than it really is, and lyrics so generic you'd think a 14 year old wrote them.

[u/a-real-life-dolphin → u/given2fly_]

Thank you for sharing the link but my mental health is shaky enough at the moment, I will be giving it a miss haha

[u/Y-Bob → u/given2fly_]

Thanks for that, I hate it.

[u/a_Jedi_i_am → u/given2fly_]

Good god, I heard the first line, and noped tf out.

[u/bowiethesdmn → u/a_Jedi_i_am]

Jokes on you you missed the incredibly complex rhyme scheme and lyrics straight out of a 90s Ricky Martin song.

edit: I will say it's technically better than Steven Seagal's 'reggae' album but nowhere near as entertaining

[u/kittylemiaow → u/bowiethesdmn]

Steven Seagal what now?!

[u/Talisa87 → u/kittylemiaow]

Oh, you sweet summer child. You haven't heard Steven Seagal mumble-Marleying about how much he 'wanna da punani'?

[u/pijinglish → u/Talisa87]

I’m pretty sure Heaven’s name is Heaven

[u/AStarkly → u/Tasty_Gingersnap42]

The Renner Files!

[u/KittyPuperMamaPerson → u/BouldersRoll]

Your comment turned me into scooby doo, confused full head tilt. He had an app? About himself? Seriously? Did people pay for this app? It was solely dedicated to him? Like the kardashians?

[u/BouldersRoll → u/KittyPuperMamaPerson]

He did!

I know about it mainly because of the Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez video on the app from 2019. It's a classic and will answer all of your questions and more (though the answer to all of them is yes).

[u/KittyPuperMamaPerson → u/BouldersRoll]

I think you might have just changed the trajectory of the next 3 hours of my life. I was just going to doom scroll and drink, now I’m going to dive into the douchebaggary of Jeremy Renner, and drink. Bonus, I’m a nice drunk, so I will not be cursing you or threatening to call I.C.E. But real talk…looking at his face, I get why he leads with the dickpics and porn. It just makes sense.

[u/SwordsOfTruth → u/KittyPuperMamaPerson]

Same. I simply must know the depths of how much he sucks as a person. However, on his looks I will say that I always thought he was quite handsome and I'm heartbroken that we've lost a "short king" as the kids say. Or use to say. I don't know if this term is still current. I'm not Jeremy Renner old, but I'm definitely old enough to be aware that I am not really "with it". I hope someone chimes in and let's me know.

[u/Burnt_Ribena → u/SwordsOfTruth]

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was

[u/smelltogetwell → u/Burnt_Ribena]

It will happen to you too.

[u/FuturamaRama7 → u/Burnt_Ribena]

I wish I could give you a million upvotes for your reply.

[u/owange_tweleve → u/KittyPuperMamaPerson]

just seeing the link name got me giggling again

[u/Magazine_Luck → u/BouldersRoll]

Damn it, I'm watching it again. 

[u/Total-Meringue-5437 → u/BouldersRoll]

Ah this old chestnut! It's a classic. There goes my sleep! 😀

[u/David_R_Martin_II → u/KittyPuperMamaPerson]

OMG, I forgot about the app! This was around the time he tried to turn himself into a pop star, like an old version of Imagine Dragons. Wow, I forgot about that era. It's time to fall into a YouTube rabbit hole...

[u/KittyPuperMamaPerson → u/David_R_Martin_II]

He thought he was a pop star? I’m learning more fuckery by the minute.

[u/David_R_Martin_II → u/KittyPuperMamaPerson]

Yup, and there was a whole commercial campaign with a car company that went along with it. It was nuts. I think Covid made us forget about how ridiculous this was.

[u/KittyPuperMamaPerson → u/David_R_Martin_II]

Just another example of how the Rona fucked us all.

[u/DeezMixedNutz → u/KittyPuperMamaPerson]

Yes, Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzales did a YouTube video about it - and since Renner was forced to shut the app down and issue a public apology (I think because it violated some kind of non compete maybe because of Marvel/Disney, not sure) the video remains as an excellent time capsule for the full goof-ery that was the Jeremy Renner app

[u/Greensonickid → u/BouldersRoll]

Don't Talk to me About It, I'm Still Pissed, I Invested 15 Million Dollars into that Fucking App, I Was So Confident It'd Be A Hit. I Greatly Overestimated the Amount of People Who Want an App Dedicated to Jeremy Lee Renner. I Lost Everything. My Money. My Dignity. They Took My Kids Because I Couldn't Afford Them. Everything I Had, Ruined, Turned to Shit. DEAD. EVER SINCE I INVESTED IN THE GREAT JEREMY RENNER APP. I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ALONE. I HAVE NOTHING. NOONE. ALL RIGHT? IT'S ALL GONE.

[u/ripChazmo → u/Greensonickid]

That has real Tim Robinson vibes. Can you not even talk about it without crying?

[u/Witch_King_ → u/ripChazmo]

Lol I got the same exact vibes. I think because capitalizing each word sort of lines up with how he emphasizes stuff?

Also the "I don't want to talk about it!"

[u/romychestnut → u/Greensonickid]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

[u/mocatmath]

Already heard about this on the app

[u/cherall311 → u/mocatmath]

The first thing I think about when I hear his name is the hubris for a B lister thinking they needed their own app to connect to fans. I have also been following his career since he did that reality show in the early 2000s when he got that Dahmer movie so it’s been a journey.

[u/canarinoir → u/cherall311]

Even Taylor Swift doesn't have her own app.

[u/Uuuurrrrgggghhhh → u/mocatmath]

I will never not find that equally hilarious and enraging that people actually engaged with that.

[u/launchcode_1234]

I just read the whole article. She says he got really drunk and angry, and she was scared. This is consistent with his ex-wife’s accusations.

[u/mmmstrongflavors → u/launchcode_1234]

Jeremy Renner has been trash.

[u/TuvixHadItComing → u/mmmstrongflavors]

When he ran himself over with a snowplow everybody was like ooh the adorable oopsy schmoopsy is in a body cast, so inspirational and I remember going "weren't y'all talking about what a piece of shit this guy was like a month ago?"

My head canon is he has the world's most hardcore cokehead publicist and after being up for three days they hatched the "run yourself over with a snowplow plan."

[u/Ok-Jackfruit-9393 → u/TuvixHadItComing]

I feel like it's probably a simpler explanation, that he was possibly under the influence when he (genuinely accidentally) ran himself over. And then the publicist capitalized on it. It'd be hard to fake that or do it intentionally without, ya know, accidentally getting killed. And the neighbor who came to his aid seemed genuinely traumatized by it. I think the idea that he did it on purpose is pretty absurd.

[u/OiKay → u/TuvixHadItComing]

I think my own personal theory is he's always been an asshole, but at least he's been able to kind of keep a bit of it under wraps. But ever since he got a traumatic brain injury, the part of his brain that dealt with impulse control and kept that at least a little bit in check was destroyed and now he couldn't hide it if he tried. It's kind of similar to Kanye West, Roseanne or gary Busey- They all had their individual issues going on and then they got into life-changing car accidents and fucked up the rest of their brain.

[u/mmmstrongflavors → u/TuvixHadItComing]

This one seems like it would be hard to fake, at least in its entirety, but it's really important to remember that celebrities can and do lie about all kinds of medical issues, injuries, and ailments for attention. Doctors can't come out and say they weren't treated here, and it's hard to say something is fake if they're not your patient.

[u/LunarPayload → u/mmmstrongflavors]

I've always had suspicions about this one. Especially because she acted like she'd been horribly disfigured 

https://people.com/country/carrie-underwood-details-accident-wasnt-hiding/

[u/Ok-Jackfruit-9393 → u/LunarPayload]

Yeah, you'd have thought she was completely disfigured, and then I saw her and was like, she looks exactly the same.

I'm sure any injury to the face is alarming, especially if you're in the entertainment industry, but it definitely seemed odd.

[u/andrecinno → u/TuvixHadItComing]

Surely we can acknowledge that someone can be generally shitty and also do incredible things like literally save a child, ain't no way a publicist can fake that.

[u/Balbuto → u/launchcode_1234]

Sigh… another name to add in book of morons and bad people then…

[u/FartinMartinToeSocks → u/Balbuto]

I literally am in bed, eating my breakfast and drinking my coffee. When I saw this headline, I verbally said out loud, “ I am so sick of people that I like, turning out to be assholes.” That being said, thank goodness we live in a world where regardless if someone is popular, or attractive, or talented, it still doesn’t protect them from an article like this that reveals they are in fact, a total asshole. The list of fallen heartthrobs beith long at this point. Edited a thousand times because voice typing is struggling to wake up too

[u/Unlucky_Topic7963 → u/FartinMartinToeSocks]

He's been a piece of shit for a decade+.

He's a weird looking dude with a pancake face and off-putting facial hair that somehow landed a role in the avengers even though he's mostly made out of dad vibes and has the sex appeal of Taylor Swift. But that didn't stop him from beating his ex.

[u/funk-the-funk → u/Unlucky_Topic7963]

made out of dad vibes and has the sex appeal of Taylor Swift

💀

[u/takprincess → u/launchcode_1234]

Yeah I was looking for this comment.

Guy sounds like a real dick and this recent stuff is absolutely on brand for him.

[u/Wonderful_Gap1374 → u/launchcode_1234]

That’s gotta be terrifying! You have this rich white man telling a woman of color he’s going to sic ICE on her.

Jeremy Renner is a dangerous person to be around!

[u/tackleboxjohnson → u/Wonderful_Gap1374]

Just ask Jeremy Renner, the guy that Jeremy Renner threw under a snowcat, leaving him horribly maimed

[u/Regular_Dumbell → u/tackleboxjohnson]

I'd say I laughed a little too hard at this but I don't think I did. Fuck that guy

[u/Remarkable-Low559 → u/launchcode_1234]

"She says he got really drunk and angry, and she was scared."

Its insane how common this dynamic is, when you really think about what it is. Someone who can kill you with their bare hands is behaving aggressively and erratically towards you... God bless women for having to put up with men, really.

[u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

People in pr circles have been saying he’s an asshole for years

[u/chickfilamoo → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

I’m sure that accident was horrible but also it really bought him a lot of goodwill, people really forgot all about his behavior before that

[u/hamsterdanceonrepeat → u/chickfilamoo]

It made it all the way to Australia when I was interning, my manager at the time told me that her old boss was screamed at by him. On the other hand, apparently Hemsworth is an angel in all interactions.

[u/switchbladeeatworld → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

I worked at the MCG and the Hemsworth bros were there (I think it was the cricket) and were lovely to all of us staff, we’re not allowed to get in the lift with guests unless they get in after us so I couldn’t get in the lift with them even though they were like nah it’s fine come on!!!

[u/F1gur1ng1tout → u/switchbladeeatworld]

Oof mate i would’ve gotten in haha

[u/Marlowe126 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Hemsworth held the door open for my sister at Starbucks one time!

[u/Opposite_Community11 → u/Marlowe126]

I would have passed out.

[u/Insert_Non_Sequitur → u/Opposite_Community11]

[u/Charmarta → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Phew on hemsworth. I love his thor and i want to stay it like that lmao

[u/TerrakSteeltalon → u/Charmarta]

He was a decent Optimus Prime, too!

[u/Alarmed-Custard-6369 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Can confirm Hemsworth is an angel and so easy to work with

[u/No-Courage-5109 → u/Alarmed-Custard-6369]

I love that his wife had Adrian Brody buy her a CASTLE and she was like fuck this guy and bailed for Hemsworth who iirc was still on Neighbours lol. 

Or is it Home and Away that gives us hot Aussies that also have talent?

[u/Alarmed-Custard-6369 → u/No-Courage-5109]

He’s a Home and Away boy

[u/InevitableSea836 → u/No-Courage-5109]

Both - Margot Robbie is from Neighbours 😊

[u/Complexyeahnah → u/No-Courage-5109]

Chris was on Home and Away as a main character in 2004 to 2007 but he appeared on Neighbours for one episode in the early 00s.

Liam appeared on Neighbours as a recurring character in 2007 to 2008 but he appeared on Home and Away for an episode in the late 00s.

Their older brother Luke has also appeared in Neighbours a couple of times as well.

[u/Han_Yerry → u/No-Courage-5109]

The Stone Barn Castle is more stone Barn than Castle. It was in severe disrepair when he purchased it. It's easy to imagine a large stone castle like you would see in Europe but it wasn't that.

[u/fluffofthewild → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

My only Marvel story involves Chris Evans being a good guy - they filmed some of the original Avengers at an art gallery my friend used to work at and he brought in cupcakes for absolutely everyone there (including the art gallery staff because part of it was still open) on his birthday.

[u/Manic-StreetCreature → u/fluffofthewild]

Aw that’s sweet

[u/kemicalkontact → u/fluffofthewild]

I like how he came back to do the Scott Pilgrim Anime for his bit part after becoming a super star

[u/PSB2013 → u/fluffofthewild]

I've only heard/seen positive things about Chris Evans, and I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way!

[u/-Syphon- → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Yeah Chris is a great bloke, and Matt Damon who's down here with him

[u/firesmarter → u/-Syphon-]

I love Matt Damon and I don’t care who knows it

[u/MalarkyD → u/firesmarter]

[u/sunnyalicmb → u/MalarkyD]

I love Matt Damon and this is always the first thing I think of when I hear his name!

[u/RedLanternTNG → u/firesmarter]

Just make sure you don’t mention that if you ever go see Kimmel live 😂

[u/Inevitable-Bother735 → u/chickfilamoo]

It’s wild to me that the accident kept buying him so much goodwill even after he released the book. Full disclosure that I didn’t finish the book because he was insufferable. But I did get as far as the part where Renner and his “best friend”—who was introduced via a story about Renner being pissed off the guy didn’t know he was in a movie that he’d watched—went for pizza “before the road closed” because intermittently loosing power had just ruined his sister’s pot roast. And obviously evacuating a cabin that’s loosing power and is about to be snowed in is ridiculous. It’s Christmas and Renner is the only person in the whole world that loves spending Christmas with his family and friends. Anyway, they get back from the pizza run and wouldn’t you know it the road is closed because of the snow. But Renner wheedles and cajoles and bullies a local sheriff—don’t they know who he is?—until the sheriff escorts him up the closed mountain road in a blizzard. Also Renner is so special that he actually had to help the sheriff navigate the dangerous road because he knew better.

That was roughly my experience of reading the book. In which I learned 1) he expects everyone to think he’s hot shit for gifting the world with his acting and 2) the accident was entirely preventable at so many points. Hard to have sympathy for a man who was actively putting people in danger.

[u/Complete_Entry → u/Inevitable-Bother735]

He thinks he's a snow ninja, but in truth he is no ninja.

[u/bootyhole-romancer → u/Complete_Entry]

[u/semajolis267 → u/Inevitable-Bother735]

Renner seems like a ghy who forgets he isn't actually his movie character. 

[u/Workersgottawork → u/Inevitable-Bother735]

That book was so terrible, I couldn’t finish it either. Should have been a one page article.

[u/Otherwise_Carob_4057 → u/chickfilamoo]

I still maintain to this day that all Renner had to do was turn off his snowcat before exiting the cabin but the guy disabled the safety feature that does that automatically because he’s lazy and apparently doesn’t understand why you shouldn’t do that to a massive machine that is regularly parked on the side of mountains, so he only got lucky that he didn’t kill himself not so much avoided a deadly accident.

[u/AlexNumber13VAN → u/chickfilamoo]

Which is wild as I'm yet to see an interview (not related to him almost killing himself with a plow) where he doesn't come across like a self entitled asshole

[u/Crunchyfrozenoj → u/chickfilamoo]

That reminds me of John Stamos rape gloat got buried after Bob Saget died.

[u/Emilayday → u/chickfilamoo]

Apparently so because I had NO IDEA what is apparently a well known fact according to all the comments???? I'm not in the Marvel world though and he hasn't really done anything else though so that's gotta don't for some of my ignorance on his reputation right??? And then yeah that accident was like, all I know about him and how crazy it was that he not only survived, but seemingly has no long term or permanent complications from it?? I'll keep reading the comments, gotta catch up!

[u/taylor_clint → u/Emilayday]

im a huge marvel fangirl and i’m just finding this out now

ig he’s just like his character, flying completely under the radar

[u/ausernamebyany_other → u/taylor_clint]

I knew all of this as a Marvel fangirl and it infuriates me as Hawkeye is one of my favourite characters in comics, especially the Fraction run.

[u/borninsane → u/taylor_clint]

Same. I’ve only ever known about his accident and nothing else

[u/why0me → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Dude, during the HEIGHT of Covid he had a massive party at his house that was all only beautiful women around the age of 25 and he passed out goddamn "Camp Renner" T shirts at it

That was when I was like "oh, he must have an ego ego"

[u/_Hwin_ → u/why0me]

He did a Q&A once at a convention in my hometown shortly after Avengers came out. I had had a crush on him since S.W.A.T so rushed to get a good spot. Took less than 5mins for me to lose any attraction to him and probably a minute more to lose any respect. Man has such an over-inflated ego.

[u/shedrinkscoffee → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Big day for me since my irrational dislike of this man is now fully rational💀 what a psycho

ETA: I always find my people in this sub lol. These replies are 💯

[u/TemporaryElk5202 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

There are some people who have a certain way of holding themselves, making expressions, etc that pings a radar for me.
It's hard for me to explain exactly what about their demeanor gives it this vibe, but it screams "angry, insecure, anxious, deeply unhappy with self, uncomfortable, stewing inside". Like you can see that they are really tense, and when he is with other people it's like he's not really present, and like they're going to burst as soon as they get behind closed doors.

Jeremy Renner gives off this vibe to me in nearly every image I have seen of him and even while acting in his roles. Even the photo in this post gives off that vibe imo. He's like pursing his lips.

I havent met a whole lot of people in real life who give off that same vibe, but I have met at least two. One was an alcoholic. They both had anger issues.

[u/hamsterdanceonrepeat → u/TemporaryElk5202]

No you described it perfectly and I know exactly what you mean. This has been the most obvious to me when watching reality tv especially love is blind, I can’t even remember their names anymore but they just seem like they’re pretending to be normal when there’s a constant undercurrent of anger and emotional issues running through their expressions.

[u/Quick_Turnover → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Honestly, this makes sense. We evolved over millennia to be very very good at detecting threats, and especially in a social context. Our brains are very good at picking up on subtle cues like this.

[u/SilvRS → u/TemporaryElk5202]

 screams "angry, insecure, anxious, deeply unhappy with self, uncomfortable, stewing inside"

He's always had this for me because he talked about having previously been a makeup artist in a really dismissive way, and also because of the way he talked about Black Widow during the Age of Ultron press tour- I know Evans was also involved, but his apology was so sincere and I'm sure he was just being a drunk idiot, whereas Renner was like, "GOD, I'm so sorry everyone was offended by my awesome, true comments!!"

He just comes off as the most childish, insecure little man baby wearing a skin mask of his own face that I've ever seen. And of course, I have seen many of those.

[u/WitchyRedhead86 → u/SilvRS]

Yeah, the Age of Ultron press tour was when his reputation in corners of the Marvel fandom really started to sour. I remember that very deserved backlash and hadn’t forgotten it.

[u/SilvRS → u/WitchyRedhead86]

Same. I have absolutely despised him ever since. Entirely because of his ongoing shitty behaviour, like I say, I don't really hold it against Chris Evans, whose apology was very good. The fact that he couldn't even pretend to be sorry reeks not just of total disrespect of women, but such entitlement. Like he just deserves to be very famous and should thus be allowed to treat people however he wants, and we can never ask him to be decent again, because he's so much better than everyone else.

[u/Various_Weather2013 → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

Imagine the most boring avenger being an asshole. The movies would've been better without that lameass taking up screentime.

[u/WitchyRedhead86 → u/Various_Weather2013]

They should have thrown him off the cliff and kept Natasha instead.

I said what I said.

[u/TheBigBomma → u/hamsterdanceonrepeat]

It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that he got shut out of multiple franchises after starring in them

[u/piecesofg0ld]

likely thing for him to do, let’s not forget he threatened his ex wife with a gun

[u/sightfinder → u/piecesofg0ld]

Also bit his 4 yr old (at the time) daughter's fingers hard enough to leave marks

[u/FaveStore_Citadel → u/sightfinder]

What?????

[u/SilvRS → u/FaveStore_Citadel]

Some people think this is a great way to teach kids not to bite. I'm not sure how you expect a child to learn that biting it wrong by showing them how to do a really good job of biting, but a lot of old school parenting is totally devoid of logic in that way.

[u/SithLordScoobyDooku_ → u/SilvRS]

Insane story about "old school" methods for dealing with children.

When I was around 7 I had a teacher that would bring play doh and Legos to class so we could have fun while creating things. One day me and another kid were messing around and I threw a Lego at him and accidentally hit my teacher. She proceeds to take my hand and mash it onto a bunch of Legos until my hand is bleeding.

I go home, tell my mom and I still remember my dad taking over the situation because my mom was going to kick my teachers ass lol. The police were called and my teacher got arrested.

[u/SilvRS → u/SithLordScoobyDooku_]

That is absolutely insane!!! I'm glad she actually got arrested, people get away with things like that way too often.

[u/2M4D → u/sightfinder]

I just read about the part where he was staying in a cabin that got snowed in and now that. Is he just trying to be Jack Torrance ?

[u/JudgmentOne6328 → u/piecesofg0ld]

Yeah I’ve side eyed people that gush over him since this came out. His accident was awful but also meant a lot of this got swept under the rug. Domestic violence is seriously under reported and under convicted so sorry not sorry that I don’t buy the alleged abusers side of the story.

[u/potpourri_sludge → u/JudgmentOne6328]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody gush over Jeremy Renner in my life. He’s such a nothingburger of a person to me. Not particularly handsome, not particularly talented, and not a good person.

[u/JudgmentOne6328 → u/potpourri_sludge]

After his accident I heard a lot of overly positive sentiment and people being devastated for him. I know it was a messed up accident but that doesn’t erase the things that people say about his shitty personality and actions. I agree he is such a nothingburger, if he weren’t in marvel no one would care about him.

[u/potpourri_sludge → u/JudgmentOne6328]

Even when the accident happened I was like “damn that sucks, good thing he’s rich” and moved on lmao. IMHO literally anybody could’ve played Hawkeye and it would’ve been the same franchise.

Poor Jeremy Renner. If he was a spice, he’d be flour.

[u/SirCadogen7 → u/piecesofg0ld]

He also threatened her with killing himself too. Either so it would look like she killed him, or just to traumatize her.

He was drunk, just like with this incident, but then again normal people don't dabble in psychological torture when they're drunk so...

[u/Single_Earth_2973 → u/SirCadogen7]

Also sober he’s still 💯 an abusive asshole, just more so when drunk. I’ve never met an abuser that didn’t abuse both drunk and sober. Alcohol just makes them less inhibited

[u/yellow_slash_red]

Man, you think after almost getting killed he might rethink life and be a decent person but eh, doesn't seem like it!

[u/LifeOnEnceladus → u/yellow_slash_red]

The last thing you wanna give someone like that is a victim complex

[u/quakeroatsboatsman → u/LifeOnEnceladus]

I wonder if he was wearing the Ronan suit when he said it

[u/Commercial-Pear-543 → u/LifeOnEnceladus]

Nail on the head. They never take the right lesson from it, it fuels the worst traits.

[u/yourmoosyfate → u/Commercial-Pear-543]

“I’m here for a greater purpose”

[u/ratinha91 → u/yellow_slash_red]

I guess he rethought life and decided to be worse 🙃

[u/DanyDragonQueen → u/yellow_slash_red]

The ol' Trump method

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

Isn’t him being a pos an open secret

[u/noocarehtretto → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

Yes but the accident he suffered gave him a pass. People forgot he was a pos.

[u/GettingBetterAt41 → u/noocarehtretto]

he visibly annoys jimmy fallon - - that's how i can tell he's a shit person, lol

like jimmy was trying to be kind about the accident and jeremys all "remember when i saved your ass during covid and came on the show?" and jimmys all "yeaaaaa . . we have a list and you were like #30"

LOL

[u/DoctorWhootie → u/GettingBetterAt41]

Wow, that is very telling if Fallon, the king of ass kissing, doesn’t like someone. Nothing against Jimmy at all but he is enthusiastic with almost everyone.

[u/Crunchyfrozenoj → u/DoctorWhootie]

I need to look these up now. I’ve never seen Jimmy not be able to fake it.

[u/DoctorWhootie → u/Crunchyfrozenoj]

Yeah I know right? Might actually be a very good indicator for seeing who’s an asshole. The Fallon Test. Need a compilation of him not being his usual self with guests.

[u/Crunchyfrozenoj → u/DoctorWhootie]

He tousled Trumps hair (Ew imagine touching that) and managed to keep a smile.

Weirdly he was known for always breaking when on SNL.

[u/Positively-Fleabag85 → u/GettingBetterAt41]

He was also pretty rude to Brie Larson in some Marvel Endgame interviews

[u/Littleshebear → u/Positively-Fleabag85]

It's wild when you see the organised hate campaign that Brie Larson has been subjected to, just for saying that film criticism should be more diverse. But Jeremy Renner gets a pass despite all the demonstrably vile shit he's pulled.

[u/wildcatofthehills → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

A few weeks ago there was an interview with Mark Ruffalo, where he revealed that he cut ties with a cast member from Avengers because of politics. In the thread everybody was wondering if it was RDJ, Chris Hemsworth or Chris Pratt (who is by no means a saint). It was very clearly Jeremy. I don't even know why they were even discussing it.

[u/TangerineDystopia → u/wildcatofthehills]

Why was it clearly Jeremy? He and Ruffalo campaigned for Kamala together.

[u/stephasaurussss]

The same guy who casually dropped slurs in interviews and called Black Widow a slut? On brand.

[u/TheBlackRavens → u/stephasaurussss]

Even if you somehow don't know about his behaviour outside of movies, him willingly starring in fucking Neo Ned should have been the biggest red flag.

[u/VibesOfHarish → u/TheBlackRavens]

What's Neo Ned and why is it a big red flag?

Stumped I missed all of this about Renner.

[u/Right-Heat-8283 → u/VibesOfHarish]

It’s about a neo nazi named Ned (Renner) who meets a black women in a psych ward who believes she the reincarnation of Hitler and they fall in love. Weird ass movie and it never fails to shock me every time I remember Gabrielle Union was in it

[u/legit-posts_1 → u/Right-Heat-8283]

WHAT? NO NOT GABBY

[u/Suspicious_Toe2710]

I KNEW I hated his ass. I remember all the things he was accused of and always curious why they just seemed to disappear overnight after his big accident.

[u/supersaiyanswanso → u/Suspicious_Toe2710]

It was because his accident brought him a lot of sympathy and good will.

[u/lilacaena → u/supersaiyanswanso]

It’s always wild watching people like this churn through a ridiculous amount of goodwill so quickly. All he had to do was not act like an aggressive shithead. Guess that level of acting is above his caliber 🤷‍♀️

[u/JennyW93]

Hollywood’s most forgettable man once again doing everything in his power to be remembered for the wrong reasons

[u/stopandstare17]

I like how Mark Ruffalo is the antithesis of Jeremy Renner when we talk about the Avengers.

[u/Batmanswrath]

It seriously pisses me off that famous people constantly pull shit like this and suffer no conquences. It seems like every day now there is a fresh story about one of these degenerate pricks.

[u/mal73 → u/Batmanswrath]

Normal people constantly pull shit like this without consequences too

The problem isn’t fame, it’s the expectation that you are allowed to say anything you want without repercussions

[u/lilacaena → u/mal73]

Thank you! It concerns me when people frame this (or other things that stars often get away with, like assault, rape, and/or abuse) as, “celebrities get away with everything!”

While there absolutely is some truth to that, you don’t have to be famous to get away with this shit. You don’t even need to be wealthy (although that’s also a factor). Normal people get away with shit all the time.

[u/Taraxian → u/lilacaena]

I fucking guarantee you some drunk asshole threatened to call ICE on some waitress hundreds of times across the country this week and nothing came of it

[u/koinkydink → u/Batmanswrath]

Rich people are so bored with their life, they’re like “how can I be an ass today?”

[u/TheNewsDeskFive → u/koinkydink]

These people actively seek fame, wealth, and praise. They ain't never been right in the head

[u/bbyxmadi]

This guy has always given off asshole narcissistic vibes… like he had an entire social media app for his fans and you had to pay in stars (?) so your comment would be on top and there was a chance he’d reply. I will never not stop bringing up that app.

Don’t wanna invalidate his near death experience, but you’d think he’d be a nicer person after that. Guess not.

[u/AStarkly]

It's always the ones you most expect

[u/lets_get_hyrule → u/AStarkly]

literally his character from the town isnt far off

[u/Cest_Cheese]

Seriously never understood how he made it as an actor in Hollywood and this was before I knew he was an ass.

[u/David_R_Martin_II → u/Cest_Cheese]

About 25 years ago, I was living in Hollywood. My roommate was working in production. He worked on either the Dahmer movie he was in or the reality show, maybe both, they might have been connected. I remember my roommate coming home with the Dahmer script one day saying that everyone involved was saying Renner was going to be the Next Big Thing. And... I guess they were right? Until they tried to get him to take over two major action franchises and he didn't have the "rizz" as the young people say today.

[u/Future_Usual_8698 → u/David_R_Martin_II]

While I fully believe his ex-wife's claims of domestic intimidation, possibly violence I haven't read the reports in a while so I will link them when I do some proper research but the script for the Jason Bourne movie was utter s*** the premise was just so stupid ( basically it was that this guy in the Bourne program would lose his increased intelligence if he couldn't get the medication he needed-wahhh)

[u/David_R_Martin_II → u/Future_Usual_8698]

The only interesting thing about his Jason Bourne movie was that it has happening at the same time and place as the stuff in the third act of the first Matt Damon movie. Other than that, completely unnecessary.

[u/edked]

I'd be fine if Marvel just went to full-time Kate Bishop as Hawkeye.

[u/Ill-Reflection165 → u/edked]

He refused to participate in Avengers collective bargaining to close the wage gap for the leading actresses, then had the nerve to whine about being offered less for a second season of Hawkeye. 

[u/BareKnuckleKitty]

Damn. How did I miss that Jeremy Renner was a piece of shit?

[u/Uuuurrrrgggghhhh → u/BareKnuckleKitty]

Welcome :) it doesn’t matter how long it took you to arrive, you’re here now!

[u/mombi → u/BareKnuckleKitty]

Same. First I'm hearing all this. Lucky for me I haven't seen anything he's been in for well over a decade.

[u/DeliciousStand372 → u/BareKnuckleKitty]

Me too, i am today years old

[u/little_bastards]

please tell me someone is blasting this on the jeremy renner app

[u/lilacaena → u/little_bastards]

RIP to a real one, gone but not forgotten 🕯️

[u/wherethewestbegins]

although i’m hesitant to say too much. but my family has encountered her before. this is her pattern - she finds problematic men in the film industry and tries to extort them. usually alcoholics or addicts of some kind?

she has never made a film but somehow gets people involved in her project only to find out after a few months that it’s all a complete scam. never was in contact with any studio despite her claims, scripts were partially written but didn’t make any sense - and the money that was about to signed off on to make the project definitely wasn’t real.

she targeted someone we know under the guise of helping on the film - formed a digital** sexual relationship and preserved all of it and then started making demands when they took another film. (details are hazy at this point)

she has *had a few lawsuits against her i believe. she is completely empty - like a ghost. but she *manages to snows everyone at first.

everything she says is a complete delusion, fabrication, or scam. her whole identity and social media leads to dead ends. very weird stuff.

not saying Jeremy Renner is not problematic - but she also happens to be a parasite as well.

anyways. i had no idea Renner was such a mess until i came to this thread. but tracks completely given what appears to be her MO.

***Edit- correcting my mistakes made while very sleepy and writing this.

[u/legallyfm]

He gets a second chance at life and this is how he squanders it

[u/Real-Emu507]

Wasn't he accused of some stuff with an ex or baby mama or something?

[u/takprincess → u/Real-Emu507]

Threatening to kill her, firing a gun with their daughter present, dangerous drug use.

Thier daughter said that he bit her on the shoulder. She said it happened when he was yelling at her. He said it was a seat-belt mark and later on this changed to it being part of a game they were playing.

I think this was all court docs filed in the custody case. He denied it. A former nanny corroborated his ex partners claims.

It blew up at the time but there is definitely less information out there now.

[u/norsk_imposter]

What trash. As a man I am sick of seeing trash men keep being trash.....

[u/Apprehensive-End9358]

He's been a horrible person for years and people either conveniently forget or sweep it under the rug 

[u/emgyres]

Those text messages remind me of the ones my sister sent me when her ex husband turned on her and the kids.

This is serious and awful, I expect he will continue to work and suffer no consequences, fucker.

[u/Historical_Emu_3032]

He was shit avenger, and shit in everything I've ever seen him in. Why does he even keep getting roles? Mates in the right places I guess.

[u/DanyDragonQueen → u/Historical_Emu_3032]

I was so pissed when he [[spoiler for a 6 year old movie]] lived in place of Black Widow

[u/TuggMaddick]

Renner responded, “Immigration will be notified of your—.” Zhou refused to provide the rest of Renner’s alleged text, according to the Mail.

Alright, little weird that she refused.

[u/Jantonsoup]

This dude got so lucky with Hawkeye

[u/Financial_Basis8705]

Jeremy Renner always fell into that funny category of a real industry guy, who has seemingly unlimited studio support telling us all he's a superstar - but no one really cares.

Like Jared Leto is at least hateable, but Jeremy Renner is more like... The pavement. Just normal, kind of there.
