What did Armie Hammer's 'cannibal' messages say?
On December 10, 2021, it was reported that Armie had completed his rehab after nine months of treatment following shocking accusations of rape and cannibalistic sex desires.
The Social Network actor's rehab stint followed claims that surfaced against him months earlier in January.
On January 12, 2021, a woman claiming she was previously involved with Armie revealed screenshots of their alleged exchanges via Instagram.

"I need to drink your blood," the Instagram user said in another exchange. "I'm going to be soooo naughty and kinky with you."
In another shocking message, the user in question said: "I need to eat your entire body.
"I need to touch every part of you, inside and out. I want to bite pieces off of you."
Another message read: "You just live to obey and be my slave. I will own you. That's my soul. My brain. My spirit. My body.
"Would you come and be my property till you die? If I wanted to cut off one of your toes and keep it with me in my pocket so I always had a piece of you in my possession?
"I feel like the same way you are on one side of the slave spectrum, I am on the other side of the master spectrum and I can't ever imagine another slave," the actor allegedly added.
"I don't even want one [another 'slave]. I would never feel as strongly. F**k. Too drunk and honest."
Armie also allegedly boasted about how he shot a deer, cut its heart out, and ate it.
He allegedly wrote: "Totally raw, still warm. I'd eat your heart if I wasn't stuck without you after."
Armie's alleged texts were first shared by anonymous Instagram user House of Effie.
The NSFW texts included graphic accounts of sex acts and talks of cannibalism.
It is believed the disturbing messages were sent between 2016 and February 2020 - a time when Armie was still married to his now-estranged wife Elizabeth Chambers.
Did Armie respond to the allegations?
On January 13, 2021, Armie broke his silence and told : "I’m not responding to these bulls**t 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 added.
The Social Network star has also been ousted from his upcoming movie, Shotgun Wedding - where he was set to start filming with Jennifer Lopez.
Filming was supposed to begin for Shotgun Wedding, however, sources close to the film told TMZ that they are planning to recast the role.
On December 10, 2021 it was reported that Armie had completed rehab treatment following his accusations.
A source close to the actor told The Sun exclusively: "Armie is out of the treatment facility where he spent almost 9 months.
"He is doing really well and it's wonderful news for his family. He's back in the Cayman Islands."
The insider added that he's looking forward to spending quality time with his children amid his divorce around Christmas and New Year.
How did Armie's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers react to the allegations?
Armie's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers said she's "shocked, heartbroken and devastated" after allegations were made about her former husband.
Elizabeth broke her silence for the first time since her estranged husband has been accused of sending alarming sexual messages to his alleged exes.
On February 1, 2021, she posted a picture of a sunset on the beach on her Instagram.
She reflected in the caption: "For weeks, I’ve been trying to process everything that has transpired. I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated.
"Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know."
A source close to Elizabeth - who has two kids with Armie - previously told The Sun that she feels the actor "no longer values" their family.
On July 10, 2020, the former couple announced they're filing for divorce after 10 years of marriage.
Armie and Elizabeth's reveal came on the heels of rumors that he had an affair with actress Lily James.
Amid the scandal, an insider told The Sun: "Everything is just so crazy and disturbing right now. Elizabeth is doing the best that can be expected.
"Her kids are her number one priority, she has been going through hell and she is just trying to protect them."
The source shared: "His behavior is atrocious. She was willing to fight for her family and repair what he readily threw away until it became very clear to her he no longer valued their vows or family."

Meanwhile, Jessica Ciencin Henriquez - who was spotted on a date with the actor in September 2021 - claimed the disturbing texts are "real."
Jessica tweeted: "If you are still questioning whether or not those Armie Hammer DMs are real (and they are) maybe you should start questioning why we live in a culture willing to give abusers the benefit of the doubt instead of victims."
