This is not the first time that Hammer has come under the radar for his opinions of sex. In 2017 he had made headlines when he liked a series of tweets dealing with bondage and BDSM.
A user on Twitter shared a series of messages which seem to have been sent from Hammer's official account.
It is not clear yet if the actor's handle was hacked, which resulted in these messages being sent, or if the images were manipulated and edited.
While many have argued that the leaked messages are not from the actor's account, there are others who called for a ban on his Twitter account.
Cancel Armie Hammer for this tweet alone please. https://t.co/qznLbA3JMK

One user decided to drag the actor for one of his earlier tweets, where he had said that “When you hurt your body, sometimes the best medicine is to just have another human being rub their human body against your human body.” The actor had shared the tweet following a physiotherapy session.
THIS CANNOT BE REAL

you can see where the messages/icons are uneven... in one of them you can even see the creator's icon only partially cropped out in the top left... people have no brains
