BELLA Thorne has defended Armie Harmie after he allegedly sent messages about cannibalism, rape fantasy and having "slaves".
The actress, 23, insisted the dozens of screenshots that have emerged from various women are "fake".
Bella shared a screengrab of Armie's statement, in which he called the claims against him "vicious online attacks", on her Instagram Stories.
"Honestly can't believe all this…" she wrote alongside it.
"People are crazy to fake this kinda s**t this poor guy and his kids like leave him and his family alone. No way he's a freaking CANNIBAL…."
The model – who made headlines with her OnlyFans account – added: "Also there's a million fake screenshots going around."
Over the weekend, Armie was accused of sending disturbing messages about BDSM, rape fantasies, having "slaves" and "drinking blood."
The anonymous account House Of Effie claimed they were sent to her between 2016 and February 2020. Other women have come forward since the scandal broke.
Armie – who is said to be holed up in the Cayman Islands – was still married at the time to Elizabeth Chambers, who he has two kids with.
One screenshot reads: "I am 100 percent a cannibal. I want to eat you."
"You just live to obey and be my slave. 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?" another says.
Another of Armie's exes, Courtney Vucekovich, claimed he wanted to “break, barbecue and eat her ribs."
She told the Daily Mail: “He was really into saying he wants to break one of your ribs and eat it. Like barbecue it and eat it.
“In terms of the BDSM stuff, he made that pretty clear that it is something he is interested in very early on in the relationship and he referenced breaking my ribs often.”
Writer Jessica Ciencin Henriquez – who was spotted on a date with the actor in September – claimed the disturbing texts are "real."
She tweeted: "If you are still questioning whether or not those Armie Hammer DMs are real (and they are) maybe you should start questioning why we live in a culture willing to give abusers the benefit of the doubt instead of victims."
His estranged wife Elizabeth is said to be "going through hell" after the leaked DM controversy broke.
They announced they were filing for divorce last July after 10 years of marriage, amid rumors that he had an affair with actress Lily James.
An insider told The Sun: "Everything is just so crazy and disturbing right now. Elizabeth is doing the best that can be expected."
The source went on: "Her kids are her number one priority, she has been going through hell and she is just trying to protect them.
"His behavior is atrocious. She was willing to fight for her family and repair what he readily threw away until it became very clear to her he no longer valued their vows or family."
Armie finally broke his silence on Wednesday to call the leaked messages a "vicious online attack" against him.
In his statement, he also revealed that he'd been ousted from playing the love interest in Jennifer Lopez's film, Shotgun Wedding.
"I’m not responding to these bulls**t claims," he told TMZ.
"But in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.
"Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that.
