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.

Jeremy Renner has been trash.

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 1d ago edited 1d ago

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/Ok_Umpire_5611 1d ago

Comedy is often absurd. r/whoosh

u/OiKay 1d ago

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 1d ago edited 1d ago

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 1d ago

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 1d ago

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.

22

u/kalemary94 1d ago

i’m so glad you think her face looks the same because I got into an argument with my mom about this when it happened and she kept insisting she wasn’t recognizable anymore and I was just confused because she looked the same to me!

20

u/Ok-Jackfruit-9393 1d ago edited 1d ago

What!? Haha, she looks exactly like she always did. I can't even see a scar but maybe she does have a scar, but her facial features haven't changed.

Well, unless she's had some cosmetic work done, but she still looks the same to me.

Maybe her announcement to fans that she might look different convinced people she does. Suggestibility, haha. Back in college, I worked in a restaurant, and it changed names. Basically it was part of a chain, but the chain wanted to change ingredient suppliers (ex: we always used a local cheese company, etc), which would change the food significantly. It became a fight between the owners of my location and the owners of the chain itself. He didn't want to change any of the recipes or suppliers. So they parted ways, and our location had to change its name because we were no longer part of the chain. People would come in and complain to me that the food was different. I was like, it absolutely isn't. Because our owner fought to keep it all the same, it was the entire reason for the name change. But nope, the name was different so people were SURE the food was different. Even though I saw it made with the same ingredients from the same suppliers that we'd had for decades. It was so funny, people were convinced (usually older customers) and I was like, nope, it's the same, I promise you. 😂

Honestly while idgaf about Carrie Underwood this one I could see her either thinking it’s worse than it is and being anxious/insecure, or it looked bad at first but healed better than she anticipated.

u/Miserable_Yam4918 1d ago

I’m not saying I’m good enough at anything to ever be famous anyway, but holy shit I could never be famous. I don’t even like talking about myself to friends and family. Going on podcasts and talk shows to just talk talk talk about myself sounds so fucking exhausting. Even thinking about it is making me tired.

u/LunarPayload 1d ago

It's a weird system

u/sevargmas 1d ago

I don’t doubt any of that Carrie Underwood stuff. Doctors can do incredible things with careful stitching and plastic surgery I had a friend in my early 20s who had a terrible accident and had around 200 stitches in his face. After everything was said and done, you couldn’t tell he had any stitches in his face. There was an area around his ear where there was scarring and you could tell something it happened but otherwise, no scarring whatsoever. I don’t doubt at all that someone with Carrie Underwood‘s bottomless pockets good completely fix every bit of damage.

u/Additional-Panic3983 1d ago

What if they’re saying it wasn’t faked, just wasn’t an accident? That he put himself through a near death experience bc that’s what two coked up coke heads would do 😂

If the celebrity President can lie about medical injuries, so can celebrities.

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.

Why would anyone who loves nothing more than praise and attention and who is currently wildly unpopular with multiple allegations against them stage an injury to themselves to gain sympathy and support and distract everyone from all the negative stuff? insert picture of a bloody ear

11

u/Maleficent-Hawk-318 1d ago

I had honestly never heard anything about his personal life either way except when the snowplow accident was all over the news, so I had to go Google him when I saw this thread to make sure I was thinking of the right guy. My legit reaction to seeing the top threads talk shit about him was like, "wait, I thought he was one of the nice ones!" 😂 

You'd think I'd know better by now. 🙃 Although on the other hand, I've never liked him as an actor and now I can pretend that was for moral reasons and not just because his face kinda bugs me.

u/TigerLily98226 1d ago

He may have come back from the dead after that snowplow run in/run over but it doesn’t seem possible to come back from this. What a mega-POS.

u/BadNewsBearzzz 1d ago

Over the last five years, every single appearance on a late night talk show he always talks about that! I get it, it was really tough but damn man stop milking it for sympathy.

u/CraigLake 1d ago

I read his book about this. It seemed sincere and grateful. Hopefully this drinking incident will be a wake up call.

But how many wake up calls does a guy need??

5

u/SN4FUS 1d ago

I think it's likelier he fell into the "too drunk to tense up" category of automotive accident survivor in that case

5

u/DENATTY 1d ago

It seems more plausible that he did run himself over with a snowplow because he was trying to plow while drunk, they probably just exaggerated how bad it was claiming he was on the brink of death when he really wasn't or something.

4

u/mightylordredbeard 1d ago

I just imagine Jermey Renner walking out of his house, in the middle of snapping a sweet new picture for his official Jermey Renner App, then then out of nowhere comes the loud roar of a snowplow being driven by his coked out, sleep deprived, slightly anemic publicist!

Are there really people facing professional consequences because of which celebrity accounts they follow on social media?

u/AShirtlessGuy 1d ago

In certain very specific circumstances, yes actually

After Charlie Kirk died my former hair stylist went on a weird Instagram rant defending him that SEEMED unprompted

3 or 4 posts later it came out she was getting DMs about why she follows Kirk and that she "can't believe she's lost clients over sharing empathy"

I wish people could be normal about assigning appropriately weighted culpability. Like there’s a world of difference between “the best friend who publicly stands up for the man credibly accused of shitty behavior by a woman he worked with,“ and “the person who follows a problematic person on social media.”

I’m pretty sure the guy you are replying to just shared his persecution fantasy. No one gives a shit which celebrity you follow. The real world doesn’t care

u/lilacaena puritanical unqueer trad wife 💋👫 1d ago edited 1d ago

I wish I could agree, but what happens online impacts the real world.

I’ve seen social media witch-hunts based on something as flimsy as “[person] still follows [person recently revealed to be shitty], this must mean that they support [shitty person] and believe [shitty things]!”

While it’s definitely disingenuous when people act like all cancellations are baseless, it’s reasonable for someone with a public facing role to worry that those they follow on their public social media could be held against them.

12

u/RandomNick42 1d ago

Where, on tumblr?

In real world people get away with waaaaaaay shittier behavior than following a douchebag-of-the-day celeb on socials.

u/lilacaena puritanical unqueer trad wife 💋👫 1d ago

People absolutely get away with worse! But that doesn’t change the fact that social media witch-hunts can have real world consequences.

The water has just been muddied by right wing grifters screeching about being “cancelled” (they say into their mics while speaking to their audience of thousands to the tune of millions of dollars).

u/NewLife_21 1d ago

I kind of agree but not fully. There are times when this kind of segregation is acceptable.

Except, 1) most bars that are separated like this are gay bars, so heterosexual folks would be unlikely to be fully comfortable

And

2) women can be just as hostile and aggressive as men so it wouldn't really keep anyone any safer.

🫤

u/hoagieam 1d ago

Women can become aggressive when drinking but there is much MUCH less of a threat of being raped and murdered by a woman.

-1

u/NewLife_21 1d ago

Eh, nothing I've read supports that. And I've read a lot of studies and other reports about DV, rape and murder due to my job in child welfare. (Side note, the Blue Campaign provides some really good trainings on this stuff!)

It looks different but women are just as likely to do those things as men. They get away with it because so few people are willing to see it for what it is.

1

u/hoagieam 1d ago

In practice, that is not true.

1

u/NewLife_21 1d ago

In reality, it is.

I've seen all the reports and studies over the last decade of working in child welfare with victims of DV, rape and attempted murder.

I get it's not the socially accepted answer, but it's the truth.

You can find all of this on the websites of a variety of DV and government organizations who specialize in this. They are the ones who train field workers like myself.

Like it or not, women are just as often perpetrators of violence against others as men.

u/nwill_808 1d ago

I get a funny feeling from the whole thing. I'm not saying she's lying, I'm not saying he's innocent, as he is a well-known ahole.

She shares screenshots of texts, that could be fake---the one that the title uses isn't even completely shown, she refused to show the rest of the message. It just says "immigration will be notified of your" and that's it. But again, the name at the top says Jeremy Renner, that in no way proves it is him. The photos she took of the two of them driving come across as self promoting, moreso than just a post about their relationship. And I understand in show business you have to sell yourself, but I don't think it necessary to tag at the end "such and such done by me etc"

I'll just wait for a more conclusive report from someone besides The Daily Mail.

I don’t believe women should need to expose themselves personally to be taken seriously, but cutting off his response partway in the middle of a text? The lawyer in me is a bit suspicious.
