In a recent podcast episode of Painful lessonsArmie, 37, gave a candid interview about these allegations, as well as those of sexual abuse.

“People called me a cannibal and everyone believed it,” he told host Tyler Ramsey.

“Now I’m able to look at it with a sense of distance and perspective and say, ‘That’s hilarious.’ They were like, ‘Yeah, that guy ate people.’ Like, what? What are you talking? Do you know what you need to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people! … It was bizarre.”

When the allegations against him were first made public, Armie said they were an ego and career death.

“A neutron bomb exploded in my life. It killed [everything],” he said.

However, Armie admitted that he felt a real death coming after he isolated himself due to the public backlash.

‘I CAN NOT STAND IT’

Armie spoke out after retreating to the Cayman Islands after everything was revealed.

“I often thought, ‘I can’t take it anymore.’ And I hit very low, dark points,” he said.

“That’s more stress than any human being should ever have to face.”

“I was standing on the beach and I looked at the ocean and thought, ‘Yes, that’s it,’ and I swam really far. I thought, ‘I’m done. There’s nothing out there for me. And I got very far,” he said.

“And I was lying there… [in] a half-assed suicide attempt… but I was there and I was in it and it seemed like the only option.”

“And then an image of my kids popped into my head, standing on the beach, saying ‘Where’s Daddy?’ and I thought I can’t do this to my kids, so I came back,” Armie admitted.

Armie shares two children — Harper, 9, and Ford, 7 — with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers.

He and Elizabeth divorced in 2020.

I was lying there… [in] a half-assed suicide attempt… but I was there and I was in it and it seemed like the only option.

‘I’M GRATEFUL’

But at the end of it all, Armie shared that he’s grateful for the accusations because it taught him a lesson.

“Whatever people said, whatever happened, I’m now at a point in my life where I’m grateful for every bit of it,” he said.

“Why did this happen? What do I need to learn from this situation? And you can get on the right path.”

“I pray that everyone who follows the higher path, like me, will be grateful for its painful lessons,” concluded Armie.

ACCUSATIONS

Armie was accused of being a cannibal after he sent disturbing cannibalistic messages between 2016 and February 2020 to a woman who was not his wife.

On January 12, 2021, a woman who claimed to have been previously involved with the actor revealed screenshots of their alleged exchanges on Instagram.

“I am 100% cannibal. I want to eat you,” Armie wrote in a message.

“I need to drink your blood. I’m going to be sooo naughty and perverted with you.”

In another shocking message, he reportedly wrote: “I need to eat your whole body.

“I need to touch every part of you, inside and out. I want to bite pieces of you off.”

“You only live to obey and be my slave. I will own you. This is my soul. My brain. My spirit. My body,” said another.

“Would you come and be my property until you die? If I wanted to cut off one of your toes and keep it with me in my pocket so that I would always have a piece of you in my possession?

“I feel like just as you are on one side of the slave spectrum, I am on the other side of the master spectrum and I cannot imagine another slave,” said another.

“I don’t even want one [another ‘slave]. I would never feel so strongly. Screw this. Very drunk and honest.”

However, Armie denied the allegations made against him.
