Messages an artist says actor Armie Hammer sent her about sex slaves and cannibalism are going to be auctioned off as NFTs, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday.
Julia Morrison, an artist and writer in Brooklyn, told the outlet she exchanged the Instagram direct messages with Hammer last year. The messages she is selling as NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are about sex slaves and cannibalism.
In one exchange, Hammer responded to an Instagram story Morrison shared about billionaires increasing their wealth during the pandemic. In the post, she wrote "eat the rich for real" and "nom nom nom."
Hammer replied: "Dibs on the glute muscles and ribs for smoking."
In the other NFT, Hammer and Morrison discussed sex slaves, during which Hammer asked her if she would "live in a cage" and be his "own personal little slave."
"I have a fantasy about having someone prove their love and devotion and tying them up in a public place at night and making their body free use," Hammer said later in the exchange. "And seeing if they will f--- strangers for me."
Hammer's representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
NFTs are unique digital assets stored using blockchain technology, which is also used in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. NFTs are becoming an increasingly common type of digital art.
"There's not a single word that's been exchanged that's been deleted," Morrison told the Daily Beast. "These are authentic real exchanges and by creating artworks out of them and using the NFT process, I'm putting them on the blockchain forever and ever to cement them as a token of the times we are living in."
Reports about Hammer having a cannibalism fetish and violent sexual fantasies first emerged in January, when a woman shared screenshots of messages that she said were from Hammer. The messages, which remain unverified by media outlets, included descriptions of cannibalism, drinking blood, and sexual domination.
In February, Hammer called the claims against him "bullshit," but stepped away from an upcoming movie role.
In March, a woman accused Hammer of "violently" raping her for several hours and committing "other acts of violence" against her. Hammer's attorney denied the allegations in a statement to Insider and said the interactions between Hammer and the woman were "completely consensual."
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Insider last month it is investigating a sexual assault allegation for which Hammer is the main suspect.
