Armie Hammer’s reputation has been dragged through the mud the past few weeks, with various ex-partners accusing him of inappropriate sexual behaviour and cannibalistic fantasies.

The actor has since stepped away from his upcoming movie Shotgun Wedding, a film he would have starred in alongside Jennifer Lopez, and now a recent co-star has publicly snubbed him.

Actress Evangeline Lilly posted the movie poster of her upcoming film CRISIS, acknowledging only Gary Oldman despite Armie’s face being dead-centre.

“I am proud to be a part of a hard-hitting thriller that tackles the issues that surround an industry that profits from addiction (and proud to be in this poster with #GaryOldman).”

In early January, various unverified Instagram messages that appeared to be written by Hammer circulated online.

The graphic messages include fantasies about rape, cannibalism and BDSM.

“I need to drink your blood. Why the distance?” Hammer allegedly wrote in one shared DM.

Another saw the star allegedly write, “I’ve cut the heart out of a living animal before and eaten it while still warm.”

Other messages show Hammer allegedly claim he’s “100 per cent a cannibal … I want to eat you. That’s so scary to admit. I’ve never admitted that before”.

In a statement published by Variety, Hammer, 34, called the claims against him “bullsh*t” and announced that he was dropping out of his current movie project.

“I’m not responding to these bullsh*t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that,” he said.

Most recently, Hammer’s ex Paige Lorenze, who he dated for a few months late last year, claimed the actor’s mum once told her she was concerned her son was “being taken” by the devil.

She says she ended the relationship because she felt “unsafe”.

The model claims that during their fling, Hammer carved the letter ‘A’ into her body with a knife. She also said he asked her on multiple occasions to get ribs removed so he could smoke them and eat them.

In an interview with KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O this morning, Ms Lorenze said she spent Thanksgiving with Hammer and his mum last year.

Ms Lorenze said that during the event: “His mother was speaking to me about how she felt like, at times, he was like, stuff with the devil, she felt like he was being taken by … she was concerned about it.”

She added: “I think that his family knew that he has these sick kinds of tendencies.”

“He tweeted a year ago or something and it’s a story that he tells people, that his mum in the middle of the night poured hot oil all over him, speaking in tongues because she was trying to get the demons out of him,” Ms Lorenze said on KIIS FM.

Screenshots of the since-deleted tweet are still available online.
