Just a few months after Armie Hammer first split from Elizabeth Chambers, People papped him going for a walk in Los Angeles with Rumer Willis. Us Weekly corroborated the “rumers” in October, adding that while Willis and Hammer did date, their time together was brief. “Armie and Rumer Willis hooked up, but it was just a short fling and they are friends,” a source reported. Hammer was also linked to Jessica Ciencin Henriquez and (the aforementioned) Courtney Vucekovich at the time, and was said to be “overwhelmed with all of the attention on his love life.”
In their time together, Hammer did not discuss nor display any of his cannibalism fantasies with Willis, who was equally as shocked as the rest of the public when the news came out. At first, she was willing to give her ex the benefit of the doubt. But as more women came forward with stories of abuse at Hammer’s hand, including Paige Lorenze, Willis changed her tune. “She wanted to defend him when the cannibalism stories first came out because she thought they were outrageous,” an insider dished to OK! “Now she feels badly for all of the victims. She’s really grateful she didn’t get caught up in the Armie nightmare.”

Henriquez — who, like Willis, is thought to have briefly dated Hammer — did not offer insight into her time with him, but threw her support behind his accusers.
