Hammer has since dismissed the allegations in a statement released on Wednesday.

He also announced that following the online attacks he could not leave his children in the U.S. to participate in shooting the film Shotgun Wedding.

“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 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I’m grateful to them for that,” Hammer’s statement read, according to Variety.

Hammer was set to co-star opposite Jennifer Lopez in the upcoming romantic adventure film. But, he is stepping down from his role amid the wild rumors and speculation that followed the alleged DMs.

A spokesperson for the film producers confirmed that Armie requested to “step away from the film,” and added that “we support him on his decision.”

The latest development also comes after Hammer’s ex-partner, Elizabeth Chambers, filed for divorce in July following 10 years of marriage.

Media reports alleged that Chambers filed for divorce after discovering amorous texts on Hammer’s phone.

Hammer is known for his appearance in TV series such as Arrested Development, Veronica Mars, and Desperate Housewives.

He played Gabriel Edwards in Gossip Girl and Morgan in Reaper.

He also appeared in several films, playing Oliver in Luca Guadagnino’s 2017 romantic drama film, Call Me by Your Name and Maxim de Winter in Netflix’s Rebecca.
