Model Paige Lorenze claimed her ex-boyfriend Armie Hammer was "100 percent serious" about finding a way to remove her ribs in order to eat them, the Daily Mail reported citing an interview she gave to Star Magazine. Sputnik has been unable to verify the claim.
"He said he wanted to find a doctor who would remove my ribs. He was telling me you can remove the bottom ribs so he could smoke them, cook them and eat them. He kept saying 'You don't need them'," the model is cited by the Daily Mail as saying.
The 22-year-old claims the actor carved the letter "A" into her skin using a knife and later boasted about it to his friends. She said when their relationship began, at first the actor was "charming" but later introduced the actress to “darker and darker things”, which prompted the young woman to see a therapist after their break-up.
"Consent is really complex, and saying yes to something does not negate the trauma you might be burdened with after the fact," Lorenze said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
Social media users added fuel to the fire with some speculating that the girl was allegedly covered in bruises when she was dating the actor. This is one of the photos from her Instagram which netizens say is proof of these claims.

Paige Lorenze is the second woman to have made allegations against Hammer.
Another model Courtney Vucekovich told the Daily Mail that the actor is allegedly into BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism), in particular “master-slave fetishes”. The young woman also claimed that Hammer manipulated her into engaging in these fetishes and that he often fantasised about cannibalism. Hammer wanted to break and eat her ribs, the model claimed.
"Like barbecue it and eat it," she said.
Vucekovich told the Daily Mail that after their four-month relationship ended she had to undergo a month-long therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder to deal with "the warped relationship".
"He manipulated me – and I liked him, which is the scary part," Vucekovich told the Daily Mail.
Other Accusations and the Actor’s Response
The development comes more than a week after screenshots of messages allegedly sent by him were leaked online. One of the messages shared by user @HouseofEffie reads:
"I am 100% a cannibal. I want to eat you. F**k. That’s scary to admit b. I’ve never admitted that before."
"I need to drink your blood… I need your blood. I crave it. Will you give it to me tomorrow?" reads the other.
The actor dismissed the allegations and dropped out of his forthcoming movie with Jennifer Lopez.
"I’m not responding to these bullshit claims - but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that," the actor said in a statement.
Since then the Daily Mail has obtained videos from the actor’s private account. One of them shows a woman in lingerie on all fours on a bed and the other shows drinking and apparent drug-taking while driving.
Hammer was married to TV personality Elizabeth Chambers for 10 years. The couple are now going through a divorce. Chambers has not commented about the allegations concerning the actor.
