Bella Thorne has come to Armie Hammer’s defense amid a rather disturbing social media scandal.

On Thursday, the former Disney star took to Instagram to weigh in on Hammer’s recent publicity, in which he is accused of sending excplicit DMs to various women about his rape and cannibalism fantasies.

“I honestly can’t believe this…people are crazy to fake this kinda shit,” Thorne wrote in an Instagram story. “This poor guy and his kids, like leave him and his family alone. No way he’s a freaking CANNIBAL…. Also there’s a million fake screen shots going around.”

The controversy began after the anonymous Instagram account @houseofeffie posted screenshots of gruesome DMs Hammer had allegedly sent between 2016 and 2020. Though Hammer has called the claims “bullshit,” his ex-girlfriend Courtney Vucekovich told Page Six that the actor had expressed his canabilistic sexual desires during their relationship.
