The messages were alleged to be from the Call Me By Your Name actor and depict sexual fantasies, including cannibalism and BDSM.

24-year-old Effie accused the actor of sexual assault, describing a four-hour incident that she said occurred in 2017 according to Page Six. She appeared in a press conference in March alongside her attorney Gloria Allred and accused The Social Network actor of rape and physical abuse.

Hammer — who announced his separation from wife Elizabeth Chambers last summer — has denied the allegations, saying that his relationship with Effie was "completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance, and mutually participatory."
