At the beginning of 2021, Armie Hammer posted an Instagram video in which he gushed about how excited he was for the months to come.
So we think it's safe to say the year hasn't played out quite like Hammer imagined it would.
Back in January, an Instagram user who chose to remain anonymous leveled some shocking allegations at actor Armie Hammer.
The woman -- who runs the Instagram account House of Effie -- claimed that she had a sexual relationship with Hammer, and he subjected her to bizarre fantasies centering around his cannibalism fetish.
Over the past two months, allegations of sexual misconduct against Armie Hammer have made tabloid headlines and raised serious concerns about the actor's treatment of women.
Throughout the early stages of this scandal anonymous insiders claimed that as appaling as the first accusations might have been, the worst was yet to come.
When Armie Hammer was first accused of abusive behavior back in January, the news came as a shock to the actor's biggest fans.
Throughout his career, Hammer's public image had been that of the A-list movie star by day, devoted family man by night.
What began as a moderately salacious cheating scandal turned into allegations of ruined lives at the hands of Armie Hammer.
Armie's now former fans have heard horror stories of emotional abuse, coercion, and toxic controlling behavior.
You may have thought you'd reached the point at which no news about Armie Hammer could possibly shock you.
After all, you've already dealt with the possibility that Hammer is a cannibal, an abuser, a drug addict, and a serial banger of Real Housewives.
If headlines could tell a whole story, articles would not exist, and every newspaper would just be a single page of tweets.
That is why it is so important to actually read articles instead of commenting based on headlines and sounding like a clown.
Prior to this week, we wouldn't have thought that gothed-out shock rocker Marilyn Manson and Hollywood golden boy Armie Hammer would have a whole lot in common.
But now we know the truth:
A lot of people feel betrayed and hurt after reading the harrowing allegations about Armie Hammer.
His ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, is heartbroken.
Armie Hammer came under fire last month over what initially appeared to be a cheating scandal featuring a "cannibal" roleplay fetish.
The jokes quickly stopped when Armie's ex accused him of toxicity, manipulation, and abuse.
We've been having a lot of fun at Armie Hammer's expense in recent weeks, and there are three main reasons for this:
1. It's fun and easy.
It seems that not a day goes by without a new revelation about the strange, scary life of Armie Hammer.
And most of them have to do with the actor's abusive behavior toward the women he's dated.
Another day, another bizarre revelation/allegation about the life of actor and depraved weirdo extraordinaire Armie Hammer.
In case you somehow missed, Armie -- previously thought as sort of handsomer-than-usual everyman -- has, in recent weeks revealed himself to be into just about every weird thing a person can be into.
By now, you've probably heard about the numerous scandals involving actor Armie Hammer.
And if not, boy, are you in for some fresh nightmare fuel!
Another day, another bizarre scandal involving actor and possible cannibal Armie Hammer.
Just a few weeks ago, Hammer -- a father of two, who is recently estranged from his wife of 10 years -- was regarded as one of the most normal young actors in Hollywood.
On Sunday, DMs purportedly belonging to actor Armie Hammer appeared to expose his bizarre cannibalism fetish.
The DMs also revealed a number of other kinks, some echoing Armie's past statements about sex and sexuality.
Hollywood cheating scandals are a dime a dozen, and usually, the only thing that changes is the names of the principal players.
So in a way, you've gotta hand it to Armie Hammer for switching up the formula in such a memorable fashion.
Armie Hammer is the scion of a wealthy family and he is a generally well-liked actor. At least, he was.
He is also known to be a somewhat kinky guy ... but according to some alleged DMs that circulated on Sunday, he goes well beyond that.
James Woods is no stranger to bigotry or controversy. The actor may have an amazing voice, but whenever he opens his mouth (or Twitter) to share his views ... it's a disaster.
This time, James Woods tried to blast a gay romance film over the age gap between its protagonists, digging into some age old anti-gay rhetoric in the process.
The red carpet can be a dangerous place.
You're trying to pose for a picture with your loved ones and your bandmates when... whoa! Look out! There's a leaping Benedict Cumberbatch flying into the frame!
The Lone Ranger and his wife will soon have some adorable company.
A rep for Armie Hammer has confirmed that he and Elizabeth Chambers are expecting their first child some time in 2014.
According to the The Lone Ranger reviews, the movie was awful. According to almost everyone who saw the film, the movie was awful.
It had moments that were watchable, even entertaining, but in the end, the overall picture was one that didn't quite measure up to the legend and history of The Lone Ranger.
Armie Hammer stars in The Lone Ranger opposite Johnny Depp, a blockbuster that opens next week.
But in the latest issue of Elle (on newsstands tomorrow), the actor doesn't talk much about his famous costar, focusing instead on sex with his wife.
