Armie Hammer dropped by his agency WME as the controversy over messages he sent to several women spirals out of control

• Armie Hammer's personal publicist has also stepped down, reports the Hollywood Reporter.
• The news comes amid the controversy surrounding Hammer and graphic texts he allegedly sent.
• This exit is the latest in a career free fall for Hammer, who has also exited two projects.

Armie Hammer has been dropped by his powerful talent agency WME, while his personal publicist has also stepped down, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

The news is the latest reaction following the controversy surrounding Hammer and extreme, graphic messages that he allegedly sent to multiple women.

Hammer losing his agency and publicist continues his career free-fall after he exited the Jennifer Lopez rom-com "Shotgun Wedding" shortly after the controversy first broke. Josh Duhamel replaced him.

Then, last week, Hammer left "The Offer," a Paramount+ TV series that will depict the making of the iconic movie "The Godfather." Hammer was set to play producer Al Ruddy.

Meanwhile, his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers responded to the ongoing scandal in a statement on Instagram.

Chambers wrote: "For weeks, I've been trying to process everything that has transpired. I am shocked, heartbroken, and devastated. Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn't realize how much I didn't know."

Chambers filed for divorce from Hammer in July 2020 after 10 years of marriage.

This series of exits come after screenshots of graphic messages surfaced on an Instagram account that is run by a woman who says she had an affair with Hammer.

The messages remain unverified but contain graphic and extreme descriptions of violent sexual fantasies that include abuse and cannibalism. Hammer has called the claims "bullshit."

Hammer has only released one statement in light of this controversy, which came after his "Shotgun Wedding" exit.

The "Rebecca" actor said: "I'm not responding to these bullshit claims 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."

Insider has reached out to both Hammer and WME for comment.
