In case you have been questioning what’s happening with Armie Hammer, who was dropped from a number of Hollywood initiatives final 12 months after allegations of psychological abuse and rape have been leveled in opposition to him, the web seems to have some theories. If one really perplexing flyer is to be believed, he was lately working as … a private concierge at a Cayman Islands lodge???

Author and producer Muna Mire wrote in a since-deleted tweet that Armie Hammer was the private concierge of a pal’s dad and mom throughout their journey to the Cayman Islands resort Morritt’s. The submit was accompanied by a photograph of a flyer, which marketed a private concierge named “Armie” below an immediately recognizable photograph of Hammer and the Morritt’s emblem.

It (kind of) provides up: Hammer grew up within the Cayman Islands and was reportedly dwelling there throughout many of the pandemic. He was final seen returning to the Cayman Islands in December after checking into rehab six months earlier for what Self-importance Truthful referred to as “drug, alcohol, and intercourse points.” Nonetheless, given his household historical past, it appears unlikely that he’s strapped for money.

In any case, we rang up the entrance desk for solutions. Christopher Butcher, Morritt’s gross sales supervisor, knowledgeable the Reduce that Hammer doesn’t at present work on the lodge and that the flyer was a joke. “Armie performs golf with one in all my workers,” Butcher mentioned. “He got here down for the day to see what we do.” As for the flyer, “they have been messing round to see if he would get extra purchasers coming in if he had an image of Armie on his flier that he places out,” he defined. It’s unclear if Mire’s pals’ dad and mom have been certainly given a tour of the island by Hammer himself (perhaps he did a check run?) or in the event that they have been simply given the flyer. Regardless, it doesn’t seem he’s planning to formally decide to a profession in hospitality anytime quickly.

Just a few days later, nonetheless, the plot thickened: TMZ printed images that appeared to depict Hammer promoting time-shares within the Cayman Islands, with one supply informing the publication Hammer delivered a gross sales pitch for a trip residence for $2,020 per week. An nameless supply later knowledgeable Selection that Hammer was managing an house complicated within the Cayman Islands earlier than getting the time-share gig. In accordance with the supply, he’s not receiving any cash from his oil-tycoon relations and is “completely broke,” “working at a cubicle,” and “attempting to fill the times and earn cash to assist his household.” Hammer’s lawyer, Andrew Brettler, instructed Leisure Weekly that he “can’t affirm or deny” whether or not Hammer is promoting time-shares “as a result of Armie hasn’t addressed it.” He went on, “I simply assume it’s shitty that, if he’s promoting time-shares, the media is shaming him for having a ‘regular job.’ What’s the story right here?”
