So Wait, Is Armie Hammer A Cannibal Or What? His Ex-Girlfriend Says Yes

I’ll be real with you: Armie Hammer isn’t really on my radar. Obviously everyone went nuts for him after Call Me By Your Name and everything, but he doesn’t really do much for me so I don’t really pay much attention to what he gets up to. However, I also don’t live under a rock and there was no way I could miss out on the news that Armie Hammer is maybe/probably a cannibal that broke this week after alleged texts from the actor were leaked. So what’s the deal here, people – does he want to eat human flesh? His ex-girlfriend says the answer to that question is a definite yes.

  1. Courtney Vucekovich basically compared Armie Hammer to Hannibal Lecter. The founder of ‘on-demand glam’ app Flashd dated Hammer at some point and claimed that he basically wanted to eat her alive. Talking to Page Six, Vucekovich claimed that “he said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it.” Seems a bit random, but sure, why not? She says she thought the comment was “weird” but didn’t think much about it.
  2. Things escalated from there. Vucekovich also claimed that Hammer told her he wanted to “take a bite out” of her and that whenever she cut herself, he would lick and suck them even if they were bleeding. However, she insists that “that’s about as weird as [they] got.” Weird, yes, but not necessarily cannibal material. She also mentioned that Hammer was into “master-slave roleplay,” so take from that what you will.
  3. Vucekovich and Hammer only met last June. She described him as a “very charming, very intense” person to MailOnline at the time, but that’s not a compliment. “[H]e’s pretty aggressive right from the start. Not violent, but just sexually aggressive in the way he speaks. He’s magnetic, but that has helped him get away with this stuff. He’s a very charming, larger-than-life personality. He’s very affectionate, he makes you feel very safe and kind of on top of the world. Then little by little it gets deeper and darker,” she explained. “He kind of gets obsessed with you. At first you feel really safe, and then it gets a little strange. And then it gets more and more, and little by little you’re like ‘what’s happened?’ It’s very heavy. I just learned the word ‘lovebomb’ and that’s definitely what he does.” She added that he regularly mentioned breaking her ribs, which is pretty terrifying.
  4. The couple broke up in October and she sought treatment for PTSD. Following their relationship, Vucekovich checked into a 30-day program that offered intensive therapy and treatment for PTSD and trauma. “I was being groomed and brilliantly manipulated to do things that frankly scared me. I’m a consenting adult but it wasn’t me. He is good at what he does and knows just what to say to get you to comply. He is a very dark, twisted person,” she said.
  5. So is Hammer a cannibal or what? If the DMs that were leaked are legitimately from Hammer, then he’s admitted himself that he’s “100% a cannibal.” He’s into plenty of other dark things as well, which is slightly concerning, but I’m not sure what’s going to come of this. I wouldn’t even imagine his career will suffer because, well, that sort of thing never seems to happen. I imagine he’ll just lay low for a few months until it blows over and then it’ll be back to business as normal. Let’s just hope that “business” doesn’t include killing and eating anyone.
