Armie Hammer leaves rehab after rape and cannibalism scandal allegations

On May 31, Armie Hammer was admitted to a Florida rehab clinic. The actor had been under fire for some time after ex-girlfriends came out with stories of cannibalism and abuse. “He carved his initials into my thigh and sucked the blood,” said one of his exes. “He seriously asked me if I wanted to have one of my ribs surgically removed so he could eat it,” said another. Hammer – who was kicked out by his agency and forced to resign from some upcoming projects – was treated at the clinic for “sex, drug and alcohol problems”. He has suffered such a great trauma that he cannot deal with the silence, cannot look at himself or deal with his problems himself.

New lover

But after seven months, the actor is doing better, a source tells The Sun. “He is doing really well and that is great news for his family. He is back in the Cayman Islands.” Hammer is also said to be looking forward to spending the holidays with his kids. After the scandal leaked, his wife Elizabeth Chambers filed for divorce. They have two children together.

The actor, meanwhile, has a new lover, Lisa Perejma. “They are still together,” it sounds in The Sun. “She planned to visit him on the island when he was allowed to leave rehab. She is a great support to him. They have a strong bond and many mutual friends. She is especially happy that he is now getting the help he needs.”

Police investigation

Though it doesn’t seem like Hammer’s problems are over with that. The Los Angeles Police Department has just completed an investigation into the actor’s rape and handed the case over to prosecutors. It is not yet clear whether the actor will actually be charged with criminal offenses. The alleged victim, who uses the pseudonym Effie, has not yet filed a complaint against Hammer. His lawyer has already said that the allegations are false. “Any interaction with this person, or with any of his partners, was by complete mutual consent.” “Nobody knows what will happen to that police investigation or what it will mean for his career,” the source said. “He would hate to be blacklisted by Hollywood. His family supports him, and there are also many friends on the island who stay in touch.”
