Armie Hammer Defends Controversial Cannibal Texts, Calls Context Misrepresented

Armie Hammer has once again denied the cannibalism allegations that have plagued his career since 2021, asserting that the infamous texts were taken out of context. In a recent appearance on 'The Louis Theroux Podcast,' Hammer explained that the leaked messages, in which he described himself as '100% a cannibal,' were part of a larger conversation that included both parties joking and egging each other on. He admitted to joking about cannibalistic themes while under the influence but insisted he never intended to act on them. Hammer acknowledged his problematic behavior in relationships, describing it as selfish but not illegal, and compared his romantic partners to 'bags of dope with skin on them.' Despite the surrounding controversy, he reiterated his denial of being a cannibal, emphasizing that true cannibalism involves eating human flesh. The Los Angeles District Attorney previously declined to pursue sexual assault charges against Hammer due to insufficient evidence, but the allegations significantly impacted his career.
