Paramount+ Removes Wounds From Jeremy Renner's Face In 'Mayor Of Kingstown' Promo

The show's co-creator says the network is 'sensitive to Jeremy' after his nearly fatal snowplow accident.

Paramount+ has changed the promo for Mayor of Kingstown following Jeremy Renner's horrific snow plow injury that occurred on January 1.

While the key image—featuring the show's star—remains the same, Renner's face on the promo is now clear of bloody wounds.


You can see the before and after below.

The show's co-creator Hugh Dillon told Hollywood Reporter:

"It's good of the network."
"Everybody is sensitive to Jeremy."

Just days after his accident, Renner posted an update to Instagram revealing wounds to his face, bearing a likeness to the Mayor of Kingstown original promo.

Many on Twitter chimed in the decision to change the image was respectable.


Some felt while it was honorable of the network to make changes out of sensitivity for the actor's family, friends and fans, the art was made for a fictional series and people are aware that it's not reality.


Of the design itself, some think the changes don't make much of an impact overall.


As far as the future of the series goes, Renner finished wrapping production on season two before his accident occurred.

Earlier this week, Renner replied to a tweet by the Mayor of Kingstown account, revealing he is now at home.

He tweeted:

"Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home."

We wish him well as he continues to recover.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
