Jeremy Renner joins the growing list of actors to express an extreme distaste for the Kardashians.
In a recent interview with the U.K. paper The Guardian, the "Bourne Legacy" star claimed that he never wanted to be famous, and while discussing the pitfalls of fame he unleashed his disdain for the reality TV family.
When the Kardashian name was mentioned by the interviewer, Renner reportedly rolled his eyes and then called them "ridiculous people with zero talent who spend their lives making sure everyone knows their name," adding that they are "stupid, stupid people."
As popular as the Kardashians are with their combined 41.7 million Twitter followers, multiple reality series and countless branded products, they have found few fans in Hollywood -- in fact, many actors seem to resent their very existence.
British actor Daniel Craig kicked off the Kardashian bashing in November 2011, expressing his anger to British GQ. Craig said that the Kardashians behave like "f*cking [idiots] on television" and then are rewarded with millions of dollars.
Likewise, actor Jonah Hill followed Craig's lead and told The Huffington Post in December, "The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like 'Mad Men' is disgusting. It's super disgusting to be a part of that culture."
It turned out that "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm himself shared Hill's sentiments and didn't hold back in an interview with Elle U.K., telling the magazine:
"Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f**king idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly. Incuriousness has become cool… It’s celebrated. It doesn’t make sense to me."
The Kardashians know they aren't a favorite among serious actors, but they aren't OK with being called stupid either. Following Hamm's remarks, 31-year-old Kim responded via Twitter:
"I just heard about the comment Jon Hamm made about me in an interview. I respect Jon and I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that not everyone takes the same path in life. We’re all working hard and we all have to respect one another. Calling someone who runs their own businesses, is a part of a successful TV show, produces, writes, designs, and creates, 'stupid,' is in my opinion careless."
So far, none of the Kardashians has commented on Renner's remarks.
Last year, Piers Morgan, a British journalist, interviewed Kim Kardashian on his CNN show "Piers Morgan Tonight." He asked Kim Kardashian: "If I were to ask you what is your talent, would you have any?" Kim Kardashian replied:
"I would absolutely say that I think marketing is a skill and I think that fashion as well I mean...each sister has been a stylist at some point in our lives. We own 3 successful clothing stores...I'd like to think we're very determined and hardworking."
Before she and Kanye West entered into marital bliss, Kim was married to Kris Humphries, which lasted for a full 72 days before they filed for divorce. Yes people make mistakes every day and this seems to have been a big one. At least she got to be on television and someone took the time to produce a four hour long special talking about the high-priced wedding.
Singer Ray J and Kim got on film and ended up making a sex tape in 2003. It just happened to be “accidentally” leaked to the public in 2007. Kim was supposedly very angry and sued the company that let it go at first. However for some reason she dropped her suit and decided to settle. It was probably an honest mistake or maybe it could have been a way to help jump-start Kim’s non-existent career.
She and Kanye named her baby girl North and that could be considered on the border of cruel. Kimye decided on this name for the child and the world Kim felt on top on rolled its collective eyes to the northwest because of their stupid decision.
It is well known that Kim will do anything to get in the public eye, so adding to her stupidity list is starring in the enthusiastically unpopular movie, Disaster Movie. The name about sums it up as to how it did at the box office but it was reported to be so bad that no one ever spoken to about it had seen it, watched it or was willing to admit to even heard of it before.
Kim’s Twitter account reads like some sort of promotion list or commercial placement ad service. That is because that is basically all it is. She earns money by mentioning specific products by name in her tweets and can make around $10,000 per tweet by doing so. That was her going rate in 2010 before she became even more famous so it is actually unknown the cash she pulls in now per tweet.
Back in 2008, on the seventh season of Dancing with The Stars, Kim Kardashian did not do as well as expected of her. She ended up being eliminated third on the show that season after receiving constantly low scores. However it is well known that Kim does indeed miss those days because she has tweeted on more than one occasion (when she is not trying to sell products) because as only she can write it: “I Was Soooo Skinny.”
Kim’s dance music song (if it can be called that) Jam was about as big a hit as Disaster Movie and the music video that went along with it rivaled her sex tape for graphics. The song came out in 2010 and was a tremendously synthesized effort to try and make some sort of dance song. However Kim was kind enough to donate half of all her proceeds from the song to St. Jude’s Research for Children. The bad news was there probably was not many proceeds to give.
Kim finally grew weary of always having to deny those horrible rumors that she had actually gotten implants placed inside her buttocks so she decided to get an x-ray to prove everyone wrong. The x-ray showed she was all natural back there but EW!
It is unknown how much the toilet paper company Charmin paid Kim but she actually went to one of their ribbon cutting ceremony in Times Square. She was in between two puppet bears that look like the ones on the Charmin commercials and they each were holding up signs that said “enjoy the go.” Well at least the big bears were cute.
Last but not least, this one may be weirder than it sounds. Kim is into blood facials. This is where a certain amount of a person’s own blood is drawn and the platelets are removed and then the blood is injected into the person’s face. It is considered to be a “natural” alternative to Botox. Well there is nothing natural sounding about having a person’s own blood injected straight into his or her face. It sounds bloody and almost gruesome.
Giselle you're so pathetic. Like I know I trash Knee but I still stan for her. You used to die hard stan for her and used to shade Bey and now you act like you completely hate her to 'fit in', I guess? BYE.

Girl shut up I stanned for Britney from 2011-2013, that's not die hard anything. And before that, I was a Bey stan. I'm not about to keep breaking this down for you dummies.

Britney is not stan worthy. It's 2015. Wake up.
Doesn't take away the fact that you still stanned with a T and shaded Bey 24/7. Now you do the complete opposite. P-a-t-h-e-t-i-c.
And stanning for Kim has any worth in 2015? Smarten up.
As the testosterone was slowly replaced with estrogen, they went from stanning for Godney to Beysic, Kum soaked HO's? I guess God punished them by giving them a never-ending transition period.
"Not a girl, never a woman" could be the story of their life.
