The allegations
Armie started trending earlier this month after alleged leaked messages from the star emerged online.
According to Page Six, the explicit texts described disturbing sexual fantasies of cannibalism, which have not been verified by us.
The actor has been making headlines ever since, and has subsequently pulled out of a number of projects.

In a statement, Armie branded these claims, 'bulls**t,' and announced his departure from the new J.Lo movie, Shotgun Wedding.
As quoted by Deadline, he said, 'I’m not responding to these bulls**t 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.'
