Armie Hammer is back in the accusations spotlight while his professional career continues to hang in the balance.
Although there was some silence on the matter – of his alleged interest in cannibalism, over the course of this month. The saga seems to have picked up again.
This time during an interview on the Dr. Oz Show.
As per Complex, CBS has shared an excerpt of the interview, which features the host, Dr. Oz and his interviewee, Paige Lorenze, who previously dated Armie Hammer.
Lorenze details an evening in which Hammer allegedly branded her with his initial. She refers to these nights as “high-protocol”.
She said, “So, on one of these high-protocol nights, I was tied up and he basically looked over my body and said to me ‘Where should I put my initials on you?’. And I didn’t really say anything. And then he just started to carve his initial into me.”
Lorenze continued, “I was in a weak position. He was in a position of power. He knew how uncomfortable it made me but I just said never no. And I think that kind of being coerced into things and we don’t wanna say no and we don’t wanna be undesirable. And I think consent is much more complicated than we think and I’ve learned that through this.”
Since the initial Instagram screenshots surfaced online, they are yet to be verified, although Hammer’s attorney has denied everything on his behalf.
His attorney stated, “The stories being perpetuated in the media are a misguided attempt to present a one-sided narrative with the goal of tarnishing Mr. Hammer’s reputation, and communications from the individuals involved prove that.”
Further to this, according to Variety, a source close to Hammer said, “He has never eaten human flesh, he has never drank blood, he has never cut off a toe, he has never locked anybody in a cage, or whatever else is in these crazy messages.”
The source continued, “These messages definitely shouldn’t be taken literally – even if he did text them. People think that kinky sex is weird and taboo, and maybe it is to most people, but clearly there are adults who engage in it and enjoy it.”
