Armie Hammer admits to carving an 'A' into ex Paige Lorenze's skin with a KNIFE but insists it was 'more like a scrape': 'There wasn't even blood in the situation'
Armie Hammer has confirmed his ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze's accusation that he once 'branded' her with a knife — but he claims it was 'more like a scrape' or 'tattoo.'
The actor, 37, made the admission in a new interview with Piers Morgan as he seemingly tried to downplay Lorenze's disturbing version of events.
At the height of Hammer's cannibalism and abuse scandal in 2021, Lorenze came forward to accuse him of 'marking and branding' her during their 'traumatic' four month relationship in 2020.
The Dairy Boy founder alleged to DailyMail.com at the time that Hammer had carved his first initial into her groin with a knife and licked the blood from the wound during a kinky sexual encounter that got out of control.
But Hammer claimed to Morgan on Thursday, as per Page Six, that he didn't technically 'brand' Lorenze and that blood was never drawn.
'I wouldn't say brand, no,' Hammer said.'There was a scenario that we talked about beforehand, that we had discussed where, you know, I would basically take a little, tiny point and just kind of trace the letter 'A' — just like the tip of a small knife.'

He continued: 'I mean, there wasn't even blood in the situation. It was more like a scrape… It's along the lines of couples getting their own initials tattooed on each other.'
Morgan pointed out that taking a knife to someone's skin is 'a bit different to a tattoo.'
'[It's] less permanent. I guarantee it was such a small thing,' Hammer fired back.
After Morgan confessed he was 'shocked' by the whole thing, Hammer tried to frame it as a 'romantic gesture.'
'Yes, I think to some it probably sounds really strange. To some, it probably sounds like a very romantic gesture,' he explained.
He also insisted that he had nothing to 'gain' from 'having a sexual experience that my partner didn't appreciate or enjoy.
'That was also a huge sense of validation for me, making this person that I'm with feel good, making this person that I'm with, I don't know if I can say this, climax,' Hammer explained to Morgan.
'Like, these were things that made me feel good and made me feel powerful, which I desperately needed, because I didn't know how to give them to myself.'
Lorenze shared an image of her 'A' scar with DailyMail exclusively back in 2021 as she detailed their four-month romance.
During the exclusive 2021 interview, Lorenze accused Hammer of being an out of control narcissistic sexual deviant, whose alleged wild fantasies, BDSM fueled desires and 'role play' sex could 'seriously injure another woman.'
She also claimed that was fixated on biting her body, begging that she allow him to take lumps of flesh from her arm, before consuming them.
She described their time together in Los Angeles as 'like a real life 50 Shades Of Grey without the love.'
Hammer, who was at the peak of his fame, fell from grace in 2021 when a series of disturbing allegations were made against him by multiple women, who accused him of violent abuse and harboring cannibalism fantasies.

In February 2021 his ex-girlfriend, Effie Angelova, 26, accused him of 'violently' raping and abusing her in 2017.
He denied the accusations of rape through his attorney and said all of his sexual encounters were 'completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance and mutually participatory'.
During an appearance on Bill Maher's podcast this week, Hammer claimed that a recent psychiatric evaluation report revealed that he 'had issues' but he's 'not what people are saying.'
The star discussed his 'glowing' evaluation in the Cayman Islands, saying: 'I had to subject myself for a multi-month full psychological evaluation, and the report at the end of that was glowing. By the way, they're like, 'he's got issues, but he's not what people are saying.''
Maher also gave Hammer the chance to speak to camera and 'take accountability' for his actions - including cheating on his former wife Elizabeth Chambers - with whom he shares two children.
He said: 'I cheated on my wife. I used people to make me feel better. I was callous and inconsiderate with people and their emotions and their well-being. I wanted what I wanted and I was going to take it at any cost, even if it was at an emotional cost of someone else.
'And that is s****y behavior. There are things in my behavior that I have to take accountability for, because that is pivotal for me learning and growing from it.'
The actor retreated to the Cayman Islands in the wake of the scandal - and said he would rather work than ask his wealthy family to support him with 'free lunches.'
Armie - who was ordered to pay $1,500 a month in child support - fully admitted he's broke and said he applied to be a drama teacher, landscaper, building manager, and timeshare salesman but 'the Cayman Islands refuses to give me work permits.'
'You say what you want, I loved it. I would love to be a timeshare salesman it is so fun,' Hammer quipped.
'Someone might look at me and go, 'Yeah but financially you're in a very different position than you've ever been in your entire life.'
'And I look at that and I go, 'Yeah and you know what? It's taught me that I don't need that because I've never been happier than I've ever been in my entire life.'
He said: 'I would rather go get a job selling time-shares. I applied for a job to be a drama teacher. I applied for a job to be a landscaper. I applied for a job to be a building manager, and the Cayman Islands refuses to give me work permits.'

Discussing the police investigation - he said: 'They went through phones, emails, eyewitness reports. They investigated me for two and a half years in a time where if they could have nailed someone like me, it would have been such a boon for the LAPD,' Hammer noted.
'And after two and a half years they came to the conclusion that there is no evidence any crime had been committed.'
Hammer - who used to 'smoke 20 joints a day' - has remained happily sober following his nine-month stint at a Florida rehab to battle his addictions to drugs, alcohol, and sex issues.
'Therapy for me has been a life changer,' the Golden Globe nominee gushed.
'Listen, I needed an adjustment. There was some s*** going on. Here's what I think would have happened had none of this gone on and like the cataclysmic tectonic shift in my life wouldn't have happened. My life would have kept going exactly as it was, and I know that would ultimately only lead in one place and that's death...
'I experienced an ego death, a career death, a financial death - all of these things, right? And [William Paul] Young talks about this. Joseph Campbell talks about this. You've got to die and once you die you can then be reborn. A phoenix isn't going to rise if there's no ashes.'
Before his cancellation, Armie fully admitted he was 'drinking a lot. I was doing a lot of drugs. I was partying hard. I was being real fast and loose about what I put in text messages and I was also engaging in risky behavior that, if you really think about it, was stupid!'
The 68-year-old Emmy-winning producer - whose movie poster for Cannibal Women ironically hung behind the pair - overlooked most of Hammer's past behavior but drew the line at him drinking and driving while filming himself back in 2021.
'100 percent! 100 percent! To be fair, it was MDMA. I'm a little hazy,' Armie admitted.
'I mean who hasn't done MDMA in the passenger's seat of a car?'
When Bill asked again if he was behind the wheel, Hammer shrugged: 'Maybe I was? Also 100% I definitely drove irresponsibly for sure and and by the way I did all kinds of crazy s*** that if I really think about it now. I kind of look at it, there's no way I didn't expect this even unconsciously subconsciously. It was self-destruction.'
Maher was also visibly uncomfortable asking the high school drop-out why he carved his first initial 'A' into Lorenze's pubic area with a knife during their four-month fling.
'You get in these moods, like especially if you're inebriated or especially if whatever, you start to go, 'This is a great idea!'' Armie - whose texts were 'negotiating boundaries' - explained.
'And it's like, wait, people get tattoos of each other's initials all the time. And by the way, like, I'm not performing surgery. All of these things in a consensual relationship that were prediscussed and consented to, whatever they might have been between two people.'
Hammer - who, at age 13, was molested by a 'member of the clergy' for 'about a year' - concluded: 'At the end of the day, hurt people hurt people.'

'What would happen is I would suck these women into this whirlwind and then the minute it got real or the minute it got intimate or the minute it got serious, I would go, 'Whoa! I never signed up for this!' And I would just I would move on and, like the Seinfeld episode, I was a terrible breaker-upper,' the two-time SAG Award nominee recalled.
Armie's last acting role was portraying Alex Magnussen in Taika Waititi's 2023 film Next Goal Wins, but the entire role was reshot in December 2021 with seven-time Emmy nominee Will Arnett.
The last time audiences saw Hammer he played the two-timing Simon Doyle in Kenneth Branagh's 2022 film Death on the Nile, but he was completely edited out of the trailers.
Last month Hammer revealed he is grateful for the shock cannibalism and abuse allegations which imploded his once-stellar Hollywood acting career.
Speaking on the Painful Lessons podcast, the actor said of the scandal: 'Whatever it was that people said, whatever it was that happened, I'm now at a place in my life where I'm grateful for every single bit of it,
'I'm actually now at a place where I'm really grateful for it because where I was in my life before all of that stuff happened to me I didn't feel good I never felt satisfied I never had enough I never was in a place where I was happy with myself where I had self-esteem.
'I never knew how to give myself love. I never knew how to give myself self-validation but I had this job where I was able to get it from so many people that I never had to learn how to give it to myself.'
On being accused of cannibalism - the actor reportedly said he was '100% a cannibal' in 2021 texts - he added: 'People called me a cannibal. Like I ate people! What???? You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people!'
He added of his downfall: 'It was an ego death, a career death. A neutron bomb went off in my life. It killed off [everything]'
His then-wife Chambers split from him in July 2020 - the former couple share two young children.
The star said he had contemplated suicide during that period, saying: 'There were a lot of times when I thought I can't take this anymore. I was getting hate…so it just went right in… there was a time
'I was standing at the shore and I swam out really far and just laying there..a half-assed suicide attempt…But I thought I couldn't do that to my kids.'
He admitted his Hollywood career is 'nowhere now' and said he's 'creating his own sandbox' and planning to write a screenplay.

Hammer admits that his Hollywood career is 'nowhere now' and noted that he's creating his 'own sandbox' where he plans to write a screenplay.
He has repeatedly denied the allegations however the fallout surrounding the scandal has seen Armie's Hollywood career all but vanish.
The star, who first made his name playing both the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network, was dropped by his personal publicist and former agency as well as multiple projects following the allegations.
Hammer also stepped down from a role in Jennifer Lopez's film Shotgun Wedding, but maintained his innocence.
'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,' he said in a statement to DailyMail.
Armie has not been charged by the LA County District Attorney, and has since made attempts to restart his career.
