The allegations
Hammer started trending after alleged leaked messages from the star emerged online earlier this year.
According to Page Six, the explicit texts described disturbing sexual fantasies of cannibalism.
The actor was making headlines across the globe, and subsequently pulled out of a number of projects.

In a statement, Armie branded the claims, 'bulls**t,' and announced his departure from the new J.Lo movie, Shotgun Wedding.
As quoted by Deadline, he said, '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 four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.'
