Pictured for the first time since he was rocked by abuse allegations from several ex-girlfriends, Armie Hammer looked relaxed as he dined with a mystery woman on Friday.
The 34-year-old, who is still in the Cayman Islands where his estranged wife and two children are living, was seen at seafood restaurant Over The Edge Cafe.
Sat on a deck and looking out to sea with his blonde companion, the embattled star appeared carefree.

The Social Network star wore a pink and black shirt and shorts while his dinner date donned a white tank top with jeans and wore her hair in a bun.
An insider told Page Six this week that it isn’t surprising to see Armie with a new woman as they described him as ‘co-dependent’.
‘He can’t be alone,’ the source added.
The sighting comes after reports that the actor is ‘acting without a care in the world’ and unfazed by allegations against him.
‘It’s quite horrifying, to be honest. [He] walks up and down West Bay Road with no shirt or shoes, without a care in the world,’ a source told Page Six last month. ‘Always boisterous and obnoxious and full of himself.’
Armie, who spent much of his childhood in the Cayman Islands, returned to Grand Cayman from LA in December so he could spend the holidays with his kids.

In January a series of disturbing leaked DMs posted to the @houseofeffie Instagram account, purportedly from Armie’s social media account, showed him discussing in graphic detail his cannibalism and extreme bondage fetishes.
Shortly after, several of Armie’s former girlfriends, including Paige Lorenze and Courtney Vucekovich spoke out about their experiences with the actor, accusing him of emotional and physical abuse.
In the weeks following, Armie was dropped from several movie projects and was also dropped by his agent and publicist.
Paige, 23, made more claims to Vanity Fair earlier this month, which were included as part of an exposé that delves deeper into the actor’s dark family history.
Paige alleged to the publication that Armie ‘started making rules for me of things I could and couldn’t do’ as their relationship progressed, which prompted her to pull the plug.
Paige dated the actor from September to December 2020.
‘I was also emotionally dependent on him,’ she told the outlet. ‘[I broke things off via text] because you never know what you’re going to get with him—he’s kind of a scary person.’

‘He started making rules for me of things I could and couldn’t do, who I could have over, who I couldn’t.
‘And then I just started to feel really unsafe and really sick to my stomach about things,’ she recalled.
Paige informed Vanity Fair that she has since moved back to the East Coast and ‘wants nothing to do with the entertainment business.’
She never planned to speak of Armie again, but after the Call Me By Your Name actor’s alleged graphic social media communications came to light, she felt compelled to come forward.
‘I saw these screenshots and my stomach just dropped, like, Holy f**k,’ said Paige of her first time viewing the explicit messages. ‘Because he would say things to me…weird stuff…like, “I want to eat your ribs.”

‘I did love him in a way,’ she admitted, before adding: ‘I would’ve let him kind of do anything. He had a certain hold over me.’
Prior to his relationship with Paige, Armie was seeing Courtney Vucekovich, a 30-year-old woman he began dating in June of 2020 – just a month before his wife Elizabeth Chambers would file for divorce.
According to Courtney, her romance with Armie took a dark turn during one alleged sexual encounter that resulted in a bondage scenario that [she] was not comfortable with.
She claimed that the actor was ‘drinking heavily’ at the time and that he got ‘cold and angry’ as he continued his attempts to convince her to ‘consent.’

‘I eventually consented and really regretted doing so,’ said Courtney, who ended her tumultuous relationship with Armie in September and ‘checked herself into a treatment program for trauma’ soon after.
Armie’s lawyer told Vanity Fair in a statement that, ‘All interactions between Mr. Hammer and his former partners were consensual. They were fully discussed, agreed upon in advance with his partners, and mutually participatory.
‘The stories perpetuated on social media were designed to be salacious in an effort to harm Mr. Hammer, but that does not make them true,’ the statement concluded.
Armie and Elizabeth, 38, split this past July after 10 years of marriage; they are parents to two children, daughter Harper, six, and son Ford, four.

Vanity Fair reports that in recent years Elizabeth found evidence that Armie was having an affair with a costar. The couple had been in therapy for some time but the final straw came when Armie decided to flee the Cayman Islands during the pandemic, when he could no longer cope with isolating with his parents.
When the actor arrived back in Los Angeles he mistakenly sent a raunchy text message meant for someone else to Elizabeth. Elizabeth filed for divorce shortly after.
Taking to Instagram in early February, Elizabeth said she was ‘shocked, heartbroken, and devastated’ at reports of Armie’s conduct.
‘For weeks, I’ve been trying to process everything that has transpired,’ she said. ‘Heartbreak aside, I am listening, and will continue to listen and educate myself on these delicate matters. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know.
Elizabeth added that she ‘not be commenting further on this matter,’ as her ‘sole focus and attention will continue to be on our children, on [her] work and on healing during this incredibly difficult time.’
