Jeremy Renner Talks Calling Black Widow A Slut On Conan (Video)

While promoting The Avengers 2, both Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans found themselves in the hot seat when they joked about Black Widow being a slut and whore.

The two eventually offered an apology for offending anyone about what they said in regards to a fictional character, and now Jeremy Renner talks about it with Conan O’Brien.

‘Yeah, it was a joke. Off-colored or whatever,” Renner explained. “I’m apologetic about a lot of things, but I got into a lot of internet trouble. I guess that’s a thing now. You can get in…”

Renner went on to explain that the question that stirred up all the controversy was that Black Widow has been linked to Hawkeye, Iron Man, Banner and Captain America, with his reaction being, “Well, it sounds liked she is a slut.”

Renner goes on to defend his statements: “Mind you I’m talking about a fictional character and fictional behavior, but Conan, if you slept with four of the six Avengers – no matter how much fun you had – you would be a slut. Just saying. I would be a slut.”

Conan and Renner then joked about which of the Avengers Black Widow would be attracted to, with Conan offering, “We know it’s not Quicksilver. ‘That’s it.’ ‘That’s what I do?’ [laughter].”
