Armie Hammer—who is currently facing allegations of physical abuse, grooming, and rape—checked himself into an in-patient facility for “drug, alcohol, and sex issues” last Monday, reports Vanity Fair. Hammer was dropped by his talent agency WME in early 2021 after disturbing leaked direct messages allegedly sent by the actor led to a number of young women coming forward to accuse Hammer of grooming them and subjecting them to horrifying physical abuse. One of the women, a 24-year-old named Effie, accused Hammer of violently raping her for “over four hours” during a 2017 encounter. Another, an ex-girlfriend of Hammer’s named Paige Lorenze, says the actor literally branded her near her vagina with the letter “A”.
