Armie Hammer Has Issued an Apology, But Not for the Reason You’d Think
More than a week has passed since screenshots of those frightening alleged DM’s between Armie Hammer and a series of women first surfaced—and now, the actor has reportedly issued an apology, although not for the reason many might think.
For days, pop-culture obsessives have been aghast over the screenshots, which have not been confirmed by any official source but appear to show that the actor once described himself as a “cannibal,” and harbors slave and rape fantasies. Beyond that, other messages and on-the-record interviews from one of his exes allege that Hammer was also, at the very least, mentally and emotionally abusive. The actor brushed the claims off as “bullshit” in a broad statement announcing his departure from the Jennifer Lopez rom-com Shotgun Wedding.
Tabloids, naturally, have spent the past week digging up all sorts of dirt on the Call Me by Your Name actor—including a private Instagram account where the actor appeared to post a photo of himself using the hallucinogen DMT before a mandatory drug test. The account also included a video of a woman posed on all fours on a bed in lingerie, her bottom reddened with a caption referring to her as “Ms. Cayman.” That video, apparently, is what Hammer felt the need to explicitly address.
