The “Call Me By Your Name” star referred to the controversy as “vicious and spurious online attacks” against him.
Armie Hammer has responded to the recent social media controversy surrounding alleged leaked DMs, calling the messages “bullshit.” The Call Me By Your Name actor has subsequently dropped out of an upcoming film he was due to star in amid the media frenzy surrounding the messages, which were reportedly written by Hammer and detailed disturbing sexual and cannibalistic fantasies. In a statement released to Deadline, the 34-year-old referred to the controversy as “vicious and spurious online attacks” against him. “I’m not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that,” he said.
