When did the Armie Hammer “cannibal” and abuse controversy first surface?
The Armie Hammer “cannibal” fantasies and abuse controversy began after an Instagram account named @houseofeffie began circulating screenshots of such claims. In January 2021, the account shared multiple screenshots of messages from 2016 and 2020 that Hammer had allegedly sent to several women, per Business Insider. In these unverified messages, the Call Me By Your Name actor had allegedly talked about his sexual BDSM and cannibalism fetishes. However, Hammer has denied the rape allegations and has avoided addressing the others.
According to Variety, Hammer allegedly wrote in one such message, “I am 100% a cannibal” and “I want to eat you.” Business Insider stated that several other unverified screenshots of these messages detailed other disturbing fantasies such as drinking blood and sexual domination. While the messages remain unconfirmed, the @houseofeffie Instagram account claimed they are genuine.
The account admin reportedly posted a statement in a story, claiming, “Women approached me with their affair stories.” The admin stated that some of these women were allegedly “overwhelmed with grief for days and nights without sleeping or eating.” The statement read that some even ended up “in the ER. ” It further read, “We collectively decided we have to speak out after how” Hammer treated them.
Armie Hammer’s ex-girlfriend Courtney Vucekovich elaborated on the “cannibal” controversy in the House of Hammer documentary. Vucekovich claimed she first met Hammer in 2019, after which they connected on Instagram and the actor began “love bombing” her. According to her, they had never met in person but had grown close over the months as they communicated regularly on the application.
Vucekovich alleged that Hammer came to her Dallas apartment unannounced one time. He had allegedly called her 22 times before that but Vucekovich claimed she asked him to, “LEAVE.” She texted him, “WHY ARE YOU THERE,” to which Hammer replied, “Trying to find your scent.” Additionally, he texted her, “I’m going in. Nothing you can do to stop me,” after sending her a picture of her apartment’s entrance. The actor also left an envelope inside which a note read, “I am going to bite the f–k out of you.”
In the House of Hammer documentary, Courtney Vucekovich claimed Armie Hammer tracked her location. She initially “thought it was romantic,” believing he was “fighting for me.” She later “tried to break things off” with Hammer but couldn’t. Vucekovich claimed she was “willing to look past” his actions but claimed that things continued to happen. She said, “I would have hand marks that would stay on my body.
Vucekovich, discussing certain Armie Hammer “cannibal” allegations, showed an image of a bite mark on her skin. She claimed Hammer “bites really hard” and alleged that he possibly captured the image. According to Business Insider, Vucekovich also told Page Six that her ex-boyfriend once claimed he “wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it.” Additionally, she alleged emotional and mental abuse that traumatized her.
The documentary also displayed some of the messages the actor allegedly sent to women. One read, “I want to bite you and leave a mark and then have that mark turned into a tattoo. Brand you, tattoo you, mark you, shave your head and keep your hair with me, cut a piece of your skin off and make you cook it for me.”
Another message that Armie Hammer allegedly sent claimed that he was “100% a cannibal.” He allegedly wrote in one more message, saying he once “cut the heart out of a living animal before and eaten it while still warm. Totally raw. Still warm… I’d eat your heart if I wasn’t stuck without you after.”
One more of his alleged messages read, “I need your blood. I crave it,” and in another, he stated that he “want to see everything.” The actor then went on to add that he wanted to see the woman’s “brain, your blood, your organs, every part of you… I would definitely bite it … 100%… or try to f–k it. Not sure which… probably both.”
Another one of Armie Hammer’s ex-girlfriends, Paige Lorenze, shared abuse claims with Page Six. Lorenze also shared explicit Instagram direct messages she claimed Hammer allegedly sent, expressing his BDSM and domination fetishes. Page Six stated she alleged the actor wanted to make her his “perfect little slave.”
In one of the responses to Lorenze, Hammer wrote, “You are perfect. Don’t be embarrassed by anything. You feel f–king incredible and the way you fell perfectly in to a submissive space was beautiful.” He added that he would “train” her to “turn you in to my perfect little pet. F–k this just made me so hard. I will make you my perfect little slave.”
Hammer allegedly wrote to Paige Lorenze that he would “have to f–k” her “in the ass.” The message shows that Hammer said, “I need to f–k every one of your holes to fully take you.”
Variety reported that Julia Morrison, an actress, also spoke in the House of Jammer documentary about Armie Hammer’s “cannibal” and abuse controversy. Morrison claimed she received direct messages from Hammer on Instagram. She read out one such message in which he allegedly wrote, “I have a fantasy about having someone prove their love and devotion.” He then talked about “tying them up in a public place at night and making their body free use…And seeing if they will f–k strangers for me.”
In other texts, Morrison claimed that Hammer allegedly wrote about making her his “good little pet.” He added that he wanted his “own personal little slave… in return you will be worshipped, fed and f–ked.”
Several other women have accused Armie Hammer of abuse and added to the actor’s alleged “cannibal” fantasies scandal. Meanwhile, Hammer has denied all allegations and was also the center of an investigation after the alleged rape incident surfaced.
