Responding to these allegations, the actor said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, “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.” He added, "Lionsgate is supporting me in this, and I’m grateful to them for that."

This statement is in reference to news that Armie Hammer has dropped out of Lionsgate action-comedy ‘Shotgun Wedding’ starring Jennifer Lopez. The actor confirmed that he has dropped out of the film and hinted that it had nothing to do with his ‘sexual’ chats.
