(Trigger warning for rape and cannibalism.)
Armie Hammer has reportedly checked into a treatment centre following a months-long scandal in which he was accused of abuse and rape by multiple women.
The Call Me By Your Name actor, who was also once in consideration to don the Batman suit, is currently in a rehab facility for drug, alcohol and more. According to an eyewitness, the Social Network star was dropped off at the airport by his estranged wife, Elizabeth Chambers, with whom he shares daughter Harper, 6, and son Ford, 4. The former spouses called it quits in July 2020 after 10 years of marriage.

“Everyone looks at Armie thinking that he’s had some sort of privileged life — and that must mean there were no problems in his youth and everything was peachy keen,” said a close friend of the actor. “But that’s not necessarily the way things go. Just because you come from an upbringing where financial resources are plentiful doesn’t mean life isn’t without problems.”
His attempt at rebuilding his life comes five months after he came under public scrutiny when alleged text messages between him and not one, but several other women surfaced online. The unverified exchanges detailed Hammer’s disturbing fantasies, including cannibalism and rape.
“In light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic,” Hammer said regarding his withdrawal from the upcoming film Shotgun Wedding. “Lionsgate is supporting me in this, and I’m grateful to them for that.”
His role was filled in by Josh Duhamel instead, who left him good wishes via email.
