Episode 206: “Hollywood’s Cannibal” - The Dark Empire of the Hammer Family
It all started with a Hollywood divorce. The joint statement released by both parties seemed amicable enough, but the public wanted more. They wanted to know the intimate details of the relationship’s downfall.

Very quickly, a public divorce turned into allegations of assault, abuse, and cannibalism. One of Hollywood’s own leading men allegedly had a string of victims whom he wanted to eat. Texts about him wanting to cook their ribs, their skin, see their brains, and do horrible things to them were released.
