As previously reported … in 2021, a woman named Effie Angelova accused Hammer of sexual assault and alleged he had cannibalistic desires—while Hammer’s ex-partner Paige Lorenze claimed he branded her with an “A” before licking her blood.
While Armie acknowledged discussing cannibalism as a part of roleplay, he firmly rejected the notion of actually consuming human flesh, asserting that he has never ingested human remains.
Armie entered rehab for substance abuse treatment … prior to emerging in the Cayman Islands in 2022, where he was reported to be selling timeshares to interested buyers.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office reached a conclusion to abstain from pressing charges against Hammer in light of the purported sexual assault accusations. The office clarified that they could not establish the case with certainty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Although Hammer has taken to the interview circuit recently — including debuting his podcast “The Armie HammerTime Podcast” just this week — he hasn’t graced the silver screen since his role in the 2022 movie “Death on the Nile.”
It appears that there’s a new authority figure on the scene, bringing a familiar visage!
