The Claim

Actor Armie Hammer sent sexually explicit messages involving cannibalism.

Emerging story

A few of what are allegedly Armie Hammer’s DMs have been leaked. In these messages, Hammer says a number of horrific things, including “I am 100% a cannibal,” “I want to drink your blood,” and “I'd eat your heart if I wasn't stuck without you after.” These DMs were leaked from Instagram user @houseofeffie. The account is, at the time of writing, private.

Discussion of Hammer and his alleged cannibalism immediately went viral on social media.

Although Hammer has denied allegations of sending the DMs, his ex-girlfriend Jessica Ciencin Henriquez said that the DMs are definitely real.

Another ex-girlfriend, Courtney Vucekovich, said that Hammer wanted to “barbecue and eat” her.

While these allegations are no doubt disturbing, there’s not much evidence to support them. The DMs could easily be fabricated. Moreover, it’s unknown why these DMs were leaked by @houseofeffie, a self-described “Michael Phelps of F******.” Of course, the IG user claimed that they heard from “multiple women” that Armie Hammer would say such things. Details on these women have yet to be provided. While the claims made by his ex-girlfriends are disturbing, they dont necessarily prove that the DMs are real.

Hammer has since dropped out of a Jennifer Lopez rom-com. He issued a statement saying: “I'm not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.”

Overall, there is no substantial evidence that Hammer engages in cannibalistic behavior or sent the DMs. While the DMs and his ex-girlfriends' allegations are no doubt unsettling, there’s no evidence yet of actual abuse or cannibalism.
