Los Angeles, California – Hollywood actor Armie Hammer has spoken out for the first time regarding the controversial accusations of cannibalism that led to a downfall in his career. The 37-year-old star of “Call Me By Your Name” found himself at the center of disturbing allegations made by his ex-girlfriends that tarnished his reputation in the entertainment industry.
One of the accusers, Effie Angelova, 26, claimed in February 2021 that Hammer had violently raped her and subjected her to emotional and mental abuse when she was 20 years old in 2017. Despite the shocking claims of cannibalism fantasies circulating around him, Hammer vehemently denied any criminal behavior during his four-year relationship with Angelova.
Courtney Vucekovich, another one of Hammer’s former partners, revealed in January 2021 that the actor had expressed disturbing desires to her, including wanting to break her rib and barbecue it for consumption. In an effort to address the scandal that had enveloped him, Hammer recently appeared on the “Painful Lessons” podcast to address the accusations head-on.
During the podcast, Hammer expressed bewilderment at being labeled a cannibal by the public, emphasizing that the allegations were completely unfounded. He acknowledged that the ordeal had been a transformative experience for him, leading to a newfound sense of gratitude for the challenges he had faced.
The fallout from the scandal extended beyond Hammer’s professional life, as his marriage to Elizabeth Chambers crumbled in July 2020. The actor admitted that the public scrutiny and backlash he faced left him feeling suicidal at times, reflecting on the toll it took on his mental health and well-being.
In an attempt to revitalize his career, Hammer revealed plans to focus on writing and creating his own projects. Despite the setbacks and controversies that have plagued him, the actor remains optimistic about his future in the industry and is determined to move forward from the tumultuous chapter in his life.
