Armie Hammer’s been in the news a lot over the last couple of days, and it’s really been for the strangest reason. The Call Me By Your Name star was accused of being a ‘cannibal’ after his private DMs to multiple women on social media were leaked in which he claimed that he fantasised about eating them. He also claimed in these messages that he was “100% a cannibal”.
Just writing this story is making me feel a bit ill. However, he’s now come under even more scrutiny after it was revealed that he posted an NSFW video on his super-secret private Instagram account back in December in which there was an unidentified woman in lingerie on all fours, which he captioned:
Well… my ex (for a very good reason) wife is refusing to come back to America with my children. So I have to go back to Cayman… which sucks. Except there are a few silver linings. Like f***ing Ms. Cayman again while I’m down there.
The woman in the video was not the actual Miss Cayman, Mariah Tibbetts, and she has nothing to do with the American actor. Hammer has since issued an apology, in which he clarified that the woman in the video was not her.

Here’s Hammer’s apology which was sent as a voice note to Caymancompass.com:
I would like to clarify that the person in my video, which was stolen from my private Instagram, is not Miss Cayman. I am genuinely sorry for any confusion my foolish attempt at humor may have caused. My deep sympathies to Miss Cayman, who I don’t know, and to the entire organization, as I had no intentions of implying she was actually Miss Cayman.
Meanwhile, the Miss Cayman Islands Universe Pageant released a statement in which they say:
The Committee is very disturbed by the video and would like to confirm that the woman is not the reigning Miss Cayman Islands and has no affiliation to the Miss Cayman Islands Universe Pageant. The Committee and the reigning Miss Cayman regard this issue with the utmost seriousness and the matter has been reported to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS). The role of Miss Cayman is in part, to serve as a role model to young Caymanian women. The depiction of the woman in the video goes against all that our organization stands for and the Committee is consequently requesting that Mr. Hammer immediately remove all references to Miss Cayman from his social media channels.
