Armie Hammer wanted to “barbecue and eat” his ex-partner’s rib, she has alleged, among other gruesome sexual fantasies and claims of emotional abuse.
Courtney Vucekovich, a 30-year-old app founder, told Page Six that she met the Call Me by Your Name star in June 2020 through mutual pals and dated for two months.
She described him as a “chameleon” and alleged he wanted to “take a bite” out of her and would suck on her bloody wounds.
“He said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it,” she alleged. Vucekovich, who said she experienced PTSD as a result of the experience, said she sought therapy: “You don’t want to take that trauma with you.”
Hammer, 34, has faced a roasting online after a slew of unverified messages purportedly sent by him went viral on social media.
The direct messages, allegedly sent on his Instagram account, outlined grisly sexual interests which included various edgeplay, or extreme BDSM sexual behaviours, such as blood, violence, rape and cannibalism.
Hammer has dismissed the explosive claims, “vicious and spurious online attacks” he says, as “bulls**t” before quitting from an upcoming film role with Jennifer Lopez.
Armie Hammer ‘sucks out all the goodness you have left’, claims former partner
Vucekovich, who created the on-demand beauty service app Flashd, alleged that she overlooked Hammer’s interests at the time, shrugging it off with a: “F**k, that was weird.”
“He says: ‘‘I want to take a bite out of you.’ If I had a little cut on my hand, he’d like suck it or lick it. That’s about as weird as we got.”
“He sucks out all the goodness you have left,” she added. “That’s what he did to me. I gave and gave and gave until it hurt.”

The Dallas, Texas, resident described the actor as “captivating” and “enters your life in a big way”.
She continued: “He has such a presence and he’s aware of that and he uses it in such a way that most women would think, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing,’ but especially young women.
“That’s kind of the scary part – how good he is at active manipulation and making you feel like he’s never felt this way about anybody.
“He quickly grooms you in the relationship,” adding that she did various sex acts she considered “out-of-character” for herself.
“He kind of captivates you and while being charming, he’s grooming you for these things that are darker and heavier and consuming.
“When I say consuming, I mean mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, just everything.”
It was a time of her life that left Vucekovich’s shattered.
“As a strong mental health advocate, I knew that this relationship was something I needed to process with help from people who specialize in trauma and PTSD,” she said. “That is my experience.
“Therapy is really helpful after healing from any kind of abuse. You don’t want to take that trauma with you.”
Social Network star denies he is ‘100 per cent a cannibal’
The alleged messages were first levelled by Instagram user “House of Effie“, who has claimed messages were both sent to them and various women between 2016 and 2020.
In one, Armie Hammer supposedly wrote to one woman that he is “100 per cent a cannibal” and “desired to drink your blood”. In another, he asked a woman to “live and obey and be my slave”.
“I will own you. That’s my soul. My brain. My spirit. My body. Would you come to be my property till you die?” the message allegedly from Hammer said.
“If I wanted to cut off one of your toes and keep it with me in my pocket so I always had a piece of you in my possession?
“I feel like the same way you are on one side of the slave spectrum, I am on the other side of the master spectrum and I can’t ever imagine another slave.”
Vucekovich was unable to verify the screenshots, the outlet reported, but said she was not surprised by them.
Hammer has sought to reel in the outrageous claims as he stepped down from a top role in action-comedy Shotgun Wedding on Wednesday (13 January).
“I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me,” Hammer wrote in a statement to Variety, “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.”
