Armie Hammer Refutes Branding Allegations

In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Armie Hammer addressed accusations from ex-girlfriend Paige Lorenze that he 'branded' his initials into her hip with a knife. Hammer, 37, refuted the term 'brand,' explaining that he used the tip of a small knife to trace the letter 'A,' describing it as a 'scrape' rather than a wound that drew blood. He likened the act to couples tattooing each other's initials, emphasizing it was consensual and discussed beforehand. Lorenze, who spoke out in 2021, claimed the experience was traumatic and reflective of Hammer’s disturbing fantasies, which he believed were normal within the BDSM community. Despite Piers Morgan's contention that using a knife is markedly different from a tattoo, Hammer insisted it was a minor act and portrayed it as a romantic gesture. Hammer has faced a series of allegations over recent years, including cannibalistic fetishes and abuse, all of which he denies.
