“Call Me by Your Name” actor Armie Hammer opened up about the cannibalism allegations that led to his “professional death” in a recent podcast interview.
Hammer spoke out about the allegations that surfaced three years ago in “Painful lessons,” which he said he now finds “hilarious.” The episode was published on Sunday.
“People called me a cannibal and everyone believed them,” he said. “They’re like, ‘Yeah, that guy ate people’… You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people. How am I supposed to be a cannibal? It was bizarre.”
“Even in the discrepancies, even in whatever people said, whatever happened, I’m now at a point in my life where I’m grateful for every little bit of it,” Hammer added.

In 2021, several women alleged that the actor shared violent sexual fantasies with them in social media messages – some of which contained cannibalism references. Hammer called the allegations “bulls**t” at the time, Entertainment tonight reported.
That same year, a woman, identified only as “Effie”, came forward and accused Hammer of violently sexually assaulting her for more than four hours in 2017. She said she tried to run away but “thought he was going to kill me.” Following allegations of misconduct against him, he was dropped by his talent agency and left two projects – “Shotgun Wedding”, starring Jennifer Lopez, and the Paramoun+ series “The Offer”. His fall from Hollywood and accusations became the subject of a Discovery+ documentary series, “House of Hammer.”
Two years later, Los Angeles County prosecutors said Hammer would not face criminal charges in the case involving Effie. Following the ruling, Hammer said in a since-deleted Instagram post that he was looking forward to “what will be a long and difficult process of putting my life back together now that my name has been cleared.”
On the recent podcast, he revealed that he had “never been in a place where I was happy with myself” before the allegations and explained how they caused “an ego death, a career death,” leading him to eventually turn to rehab and a 12 step program.
“It’s almost like a neutron bomb has gone off in my life,” he said. “It killed me, it killed my ego, it killed all the people around me who I thought were my friends and who weren’t. All these people, in the blink of an eye, were gone. But the buildings were still standing. I’m still here. I still have my health and I’m very grateful for that.”
