The past few weeks have not been good Armie Hammer. Last month, the Call me by name The actor became embroiled in a social media scandal following the circulation of screenshots of alleged conversations between Hammer and his fans in which he appeared to admit he was a cannibal. While the star is unlikely to be a true Hannibal Lecter, this incident still caused several women from Hammer’s past to voice their opinions about unpleasant experiences they had while dating him.
As a result, the actor has gone from a popular and prolific talent to a blacklist. In the wake of these allegations, The Hollywood Reporter has now revealed that Hammer has been impeached by WME, the major talent agency that previously represented him. Additionally, THR confirms that sources have told them that Hammer’s personal publicist has also parted ways with the star.
This follows on from Armie walking away from two major upcoming projects: romantic comedy Shotgun wedding, in which he would play opposite Jennifer Lopez, and The offer, a Paramount Plus series on the making of The godfather. At the first report, it was said that Hammer decided to leave these productions to focus on his family during this difficult time. However, later information has revealed that he really got the boat in both cases.
The actor, for his part, has called the cannibal allegations “bullsh * t” and has refuted all claims that the lusty sex acts his exes discussed were anything but “complete consensus.” Nonetheless, with former partners accusing him of emotional abuse, manipulation, and coercion, in this post-# MeToo era, it seems that Hammer’s career can’t withstand the bad press, even when legal action has not been taken against him. time.
Armie Hammer still has multiple films completed in the coming year before the scandal erupted, including the Gary Oldman thriller Crisis and Agatha Christie murder mystery Death on the Nile. But after that it is unclear when, or even if, he will get another Hollywood project.
