Armie Hammer Was Accused of Having Cannibalistic Fantasies
Armie Hammer returned to the spotlight nearly five years after the s-- scandal.
It's been nearly five years since multiple women accused The Social Network star of sexual and emotional abuse in 2021.
Hammer was also accused of having cannibalistic fantasies. Model and influencer Paige Lorenze, who dated him briefly in 2020, claimed the actor told her that he wanted to eat her ribs and that he carved an "A" into her skin.
Courtney Vucekovich, an app developer, shared a similar account, telling a news outlet that the Death on the Nile star wanted to break her rib, "barbecue it and eat it," adding, "He captivates you… [while] he’s grooming you for things that are darker and heavier.”
He denied the allegations.
Armie Hammer Made His Return to the Industry Years Later
Armie Hammer was married to Elizabeth Chambers from 2010 to 2020.
After being dropped by his talent agency following the backlash, Hammer took a step back from Hollywood and retreated to a rehab facility in the Cayman Islands to treat drug, alcohol and s-- issues.
“Armie has apologized privately to everyone he’s hurt and continues to take responsibility for unhealthy and harmful behaviors,” a source told a news outlet in February of the father-of-two, who shares daughter Harper and son Ford with ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers. “He’s focused on coparenting and rebuilding his career humbly.”
Hammer, who is now sober, made his return to the industry nearly four years later, starring in the 2025 Western Frontier Crucible. The actor reportedly has two films in the works, as revealed in a January 2025 podcast interview.
