Bella Thorne is defending Armie Hammer amid the actor’s social media scandal over unconfirmed sexual fantasies that have leaked online.
The 23-year-old former Disney star took to social media on Thursday, writing in his Instagram story that “I honestly can’t believe it” in the reports that have since revolved around the artist “Call Me by Your Name”.
Hammer’s defense of Thorne came just days after messages allegedly written by Hammer – which have not been verified – leaked with images of sexual fantasies and alleged conversations about the 34-year-old man being a cannibal in relation to his desires with women.

The messages first appeared on an anonymous private Instagram account called House of Effie. In the images, Hammer allegedly shares with an unidentified woman his desire to “cut off one of his toes and keep it in my pocket so that I always have a piece of you in my possession”.
“Honestly, I can’t believe it … people are crazy to pretend that this poor guy and his kids leave him and his family alone. No way is he a CANNIBAL …” Thorne wrote about the scandal, according with a screenshot taken by Page Six. “In addition, there are a million fake screenshots out there.”

Another leaked message allegedly depicts Hammer referring to himself as “100% a cannibal”.
Hammer’s ex-girlfriend Courtney Vucekovich opened in a recent interview with Page Six, saying she is not shocked by the claims based on her experiences with Hammer – but insisted that she is also unsure of the legitimacy of the messages.

In turn, Vucekovich, 30, also claimed in his interview that the “Social Network” star once told her he wanted to “break [her] prime rib and barbecue and eat. “
Looking back at the alleged exchange, Vucekovich said to the channel: ‘Fk how strange,’ but you never think about it again. “

In addition to Hammer’s alleged fantasies, the founder of the Flashd app stated that the actor also told her that he wanted “to take a bite [her], “adding:” If I had a small cut on my hand, he would like to suck or lick. This is the strangest thing we have. “
A Hammer spokesman did not respond to requests from Fox News to comment on Vucekovich’s allegations.
On Thursday, Hammer offered a statement to Variety after it was revealed that he would be leaving the com-rom, “Shotgun Wedding”, in which he would star alongside Jennifer Lopez in the midst of the scandal.

“I am not responding to these bulls-t claims, but in light of the wicked and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot, in good conscience, leave my children for 4 months to make a film in the Dominican Republic,” he said. “Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I am grateful to them for that.”
In July, Hammer and his wife for more than 10 years, Elizabeth Chambers, announced their separation on social media. They share two children: daughter Harper Grace, 5, and son Ford Douglas Armand, 3.
A spokesperon for Thorne did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.
