Just Get Rid Of Him

[Blind Gossip]  You already know that this actor will no longer be part of some upcoming projects.

But do you know what was going on behind the scenes?

We do!

Here’s what was going on behind the scenes of one movie in which he was slated to star with a famous actress.

After the news broke, it was chaos. [Actress] flat out refused to work with him. Since she is also a producer, there wasn’t much internal debate about it.

He behaved badly. Why not publicly fire him?

While [Actress] loves publicity, firing him would have made bigger headlines and that is not the kind of publicity she wanted. She wanted to distance herself from him as fast as possible.

It was, “Oh my god. This is a disaster. GET RID OF HIM. I don’t care how you do it, just get rid of him! NOW!”

By the way, she did not speak to him personally.

Even though she was the one who originally talked him into the project, she cut off all contact with him immediately and did not talk to him on his way out.

Again, distance. It was all done through their teams. He was asked to step down and he did. It was the gentle solution for everybody.

From a separate source, we have confirmation that he didn’t walk away empty handed.

He didn’t quit and he didn’t get fired. He was offered a sum of money to walk away and he did. It was the best move for everybody.

    JLO and Hannibal Hammer.
    Yes, this was the right move. I hope some of what he’s done catches up to him and he spends some time in the slammer. Hammer in the slammer has a nice ring to it.

    Actor: Armie Hammer

    Actress: J Lo

    I think he’s going to be making movies with Lindsay Lohan.

    [Optional] Right move on her part? Yes
    What do you think will happen to him? I hope he disappears.

    Arnie Hammer/J Lo, movie: Shotgun Wedding. She’s a producer.
    I wonder if being cancelled will eat him alive?

  14. DenverJayhawk says

    Armie Hammer for the actor
    I’m too lazy to go look up directors of what he’s been working on.

  16. IAmSage says

    Actor: Armie Hammer
    Actress: Jennifer Lopez (movie is “Shotgun Wedding”, and Josh Duhamel is now taken over Hammer’s role.) .

    Actor: Armie Hammer

    Actress: Jennifer Lopez

    It was a good move on her part to have Armie Hammer out. Too much focus would of been on him and not the movie.

    Armie Hammer/Jennifer Lopez

    Absolutely the right movie on her part. I’m not fan of hers, but she should not work with people who will do damage to her career, thats just crazy.

    What will happen to him? Things will settle down, as they are now and I suspect someone will take him on – but I dont know who in Hollywood would risk it. He just doesn’t open movies or bring in the big money – thats all Hollywood is interested in. So, I dont see much of a future for him at the moment.

    Armie Hammer for the actor.
    Jennifer Lopez for the actress!
    I wish him the best! We all make mistakes and I think he might have been judged harshly!

    Armie Hammer and Jennifer Lopez and his “leaving” the movie with the word “wedding” in it

    Yes, Jennifer Lopez is excellent at public relations, she’s been around forever and she knows how to protect her brand. Working with him would make everyone involved with the project look terrible because he’s a cannibal, I mean, wtaf.

    Armie Hammer exiting the Jennifer Lopez movie he was supposed to co-star in. Mr. cannibal was paid a pretty penny to walk away quietly.

    Armie Hammer
    Jennifer Lopez

    It was definitely the right move on her part.

    I think he’s done professionally. Don’t know what will happen to him on a personal level.

  29. High Steppa says

    Armie and J.Lo. VERY right move on her part. If he’s lucky, he’ll sink into obscurity.

  30. amandatory says

    Actor: Armie Hammer

    Actress: Jennifer Lopez

    Optional: Obviously the right move on her part. I don’t see him recovering from this, especially with the rumors that there’s something even worse coming out about him at some point.

  33. KittyKat says

    I guessed Shia LaBeouf/Olivia Wilde, but rereading this I think its Armie Hammer and J Lo- he’s been dropped from or dropped out of a number of projects, but I see that she is listed as a Producer on the movie she’s currently shooting and that he was supposed to star in (replaced by Josh Duhamel). Probably a good move although I don’t think Duhamel is a big draw these days. Seems like no one wants to work with Armie anymore though so he’s probably going to be box office poison.

  34. taupeantlers says

    Armie Hammer and Jennifer Lopez

    He’ll go away for a while and then come back, and all will be fine, the whole Robert Downey Jr thing…

  39. KittyKat says

    Gotta be either Armie Hammer or Shia LaBeouf. But my guess is it’s Olivia Wilde for the actress and Shia LaBeouf coming off of her project (Don’t Worry Darling)

  41. shelaur22 says

    Cannibal Hammer. Jennifer Lopez.

    His career and future in Hollywood is gone, over, in the wind. There will be no comeback for him.
