Disgraced actor Armie Hammer addressed a number of allegations during an appearance on "Piers Morgan Uncensored." The "Call Me by Your Name" star was accused of sexual assault in 2017 by a former girlfriend, who also claimed Hammer raped her "violently" and "for over four hours." His career derailed following a series of text messages that allegedly detailed sexual fantasies, including references to rape, violence and cannibalism.They were leaked online by an anonymous Instagram account named "House of Effie." "You know what you have to do to be a cannibal?

You have to have actually eaten someone," Hammer bluntly told Morgan. "This was a very intense affair — very sexually charged — between two people with very similar proclivities and kinks," he said of his relationship with the woman, who later identified herself as Efrosina "Effie" Angelova. "Any of those conversations that we [he and Angelova] had inside of that relationship, when you take them outside of that context and put them into broad daylight, it doesn’t look so good." Hammer admitted that "different people have different sexual fantasies," while addressing role-play and BDSM. "There’s a very broad spectrum of sexuality, and people are allowed to engage with their own sexuality however it fits them and what they do," he said.The idea of cannibalism during role-play was "just sort of born out of a desire, to sort of like, ‘I want you so completely,' and ‘I want you so totally’ that it's almost like ‘I want to eat you.’" Another ex-girlfriend, Paige Lorenze, accused Hammer of branding her with a knife.
