Armie Hammer Deletes His Twitter After 'Bitter' BuzzFeed Article

Armie Hammer, who is starring in the critical darling “Call Me By Your Name,” deleted his Twitter account Monday after BuzzFeed published an article titled “10 Long Years of Trying to Make Armie Hammer Happen,” which took what many fans considered a needlessly brutal look at his career.

Hammer’s Twitter account has been celebrated not only by Hammer Heads and Armie Wives — names for his fanbase — but by several outlets for its humor and BDSM leanings. His most notable Twitter moment was probably earlier this year, when he called out James Woods, who made a comment about the age difference between Hammer’s character and his love interest, played by Timothée Chalamet, in “Call Me By Your Name.”

“Didn’t you date a 19 year old when you were 60…….?” Hammer replied, spurring a response by actress Amber Tamblyn, who recalled Woods trying to pick up her and her friend when she was only 16.

Hammer’s first response to the BuzzFeed article was a “bitter AF” tweet, which is, alas, now gone, along with everything else.

The article discusses the “many second chances” Hammer has had in his career, saying the Hollywood system gives handsome, straight white men more chances than women and minorities.

The article was met with mixed reactions. Many agreed that Hollywood should be more diverse and inclusive, but took issue with personalizing that point by focusing on Hammer.

Now, fans are lamenting the loss of Hammer’s Twitter. Don’t worry, though, his Instagram is still up and running.

You all ran Armie Hammer off of Twitter. This is why we can't have nice things.

There are still fans who are pointing out that those defending Hammer should also defend women and people of color:

white people take any mention of their privilege as a personal attack because they want to believe they got where they are purely through their own hard work, and to suggest otherwise is to ruin that illusion for them (THIS IS ABOUT ARMIE HAMMER)

- I'm going to say this on this Armie Hammer Buzzfeed article – for the folks going hard in the paint defending him, ask yourself if you champion PoC actors/actresses as much. If you don't, then kindly STFU. Debate your mama.

I keep thinking about that Armie Hammer buzzfeed piece.
1. its making me want to defend a white guy in hollywood which is weird
2. it could be written about literally every white dude in hollywood
3. are people supposed to give up on their dreams and jobs?? pic.twitter.com/uZ3vBurQNt

okay, like, I don't really give a shit about this but: I think it's important to talk about white male privilege but I don't understand why Armie Hammer was chosen as the face of it

The "Call Me by Your Name" guys, haunting those who have seen the movie, sandwich the woman of the night, Simone Garcia Johnson. She's The Rock's daughter and will be in the big show. Dad was on his final day of a shoot in Vancouver.

In a crowded room, Michael Polish and Kate Bosworth found some space by the bar. Behind them, those same iconic straw-top Fiji bottles that stars sip on the Globes carpet. They permeated the party.

Most of the key cast from the NBC hit were in the building. We saw Milo Ventimiglia, Susan Kelechi Watson and Chris Sullivan. The "and" takes on new meaning for newlyweds Chrishell Stause and Justin Hartley, who got married in Malibu two weeks ago.

Much like the Globes ballroom itself, there was a lot of inter-cast mingling. Exhibit A: Hartley hanging with Armie Hammer, who had just landed back in L.A. from Montreal where he has been shooting the Ruth Bader Ginsburg film "On the Basis of Sex."

I tried to spot the actresses behind one of the most cruel relationships on TV link up, but never saw them together. From the barren house of Commander Warren on "The Handmaid's Tale," there's Ever Carradine on the left and breakout Madeline Brewer on the right.

Remember when Brewer was on the first season of "Orange Is the New Black"? She's still cool with Jackie Cruz, having fun in Moet's photo booth. Between OITNB and Handmaids, nominate Brewer for the "Most Oppressed/Abused Female Institutional Characters of the Decade" Award.

The perks of being the HFPA's Ambassador? Hanging with one of the biggest stars at the bash, Salma Hayek. Simone Garcia Johnson and her mom Dany (who although being divorced from The Rock, runs his production company) spent some time with the one-time "Frida."

After hosting "SNL" last month, Kumail Nanjiani and his partner in"The Big Sick" and in life, Emily Gordon, should have plans on the night of Jan. 7.

After "The Shape of Water" had its L.A. premiere at the Academy HQ in Beverly Hills, stars Doug Jones (not the one running for Alabama Senate) and Octavia Spencer where up on Catch's rooftop. NBCU's Chip Sullivan and Spencer were also chatting in the prime corner booth.

Don't forget about the TV people. The Globes routinely pluck out freshman comedies and their actors for honors. Lea Michele and "The Mayor" could be that one this year. We'll find out on December 11, when nominations arrive.

Will "Big Little Lies" repeat its Emmy night domination? There was no Reese on Wednesday night, but TV daughter Kathryn Newton and spouse Adam Scott were one part of HBO's Sunday night punch this year.

On Sunday nights, we're used to seeing these best friends quaffing red wine in Molly's apartment, not bubbly in West Hollywood. Behold "Insecure's" best friends Yvonne Orji and Issa Rae.

"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's" Donna Lynne Champlin and Rachel Bloom know what fuels this social scene.

Tatiana Maslany and Tom Cullen are a couple on-screen and off. Here, they pose for top shot Michael Kovac with Sarah Gadon who is the lead in a film with Natalie Portman, Jessica Chastain, Kit Harington, Thandie Newton, and young Jacob Tremblay next year.

Alumni night! Former "Miss Golden Globes" and USC alums Corinne Foxx and Greer Grammer came back to the fold. On Grammer's coronation night back in 2014, she had a night shoot and couldn't stay for the full party. Plenty of lost time to make up for.
