Elizabeth Chambers Finally, she addressed allegations that she had made anonymously against her Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise Costar Courtney McTaggart to be Armie Hammer‘s beloved.
In Us weeklyIn the exclusive clip from the upcoming episode on Tuesday, April 30, Elizabeth, 41, and Courtney, 34, try to work out their issues. Courtney makes it clear that she wants to confront Elizabeth about allegedly accusing her of dating 37-year-old Armie before his divorce.
“I’ve been getting messages on Instagram from these fake accounts calling me a sugar baby and asking me how long I’ve been sleeping with Armie Hammer,” Courtney notes. “All this crazy stuff and I have all the evidence I need to believe it was Elizabeth Chambers secretly trolling me on Instagram.”
In a confessional, a producer asks Elizabeth if she has ever harassed Courtney on social media, to which she replies “no.” Elizabeth also answers “no” when asked about how she “harasses Courtney with fake accounts,” adding that the chances that she asked friends or family to harass Courtney for her are “zero percent.”
“End of discussion,” Elizabeth tells the off-crew member. The conversation between the co-stars comes after Courtney previously accused Elizabeth of spreading rumors about her.

Courtney called the false version of events “disgusting” and added: “I confronted her and she looked at me like I was trash. “She said she had no idea what I was talking about.”
While speaking to the cameras, Courtney hinted that she had evidence to support her accusation.
“The first screenshot is from Elizabeth to one of our mutual friends. Elizabeth says, “I just saw the picture of the hairless cat and realized she’s one of your good friends. ‘It all makes sense now!'” Courtney recalled. “An hour later I get a message on Instagram saying, ‘So you’re the woman who was at Over the Edge restaurant with Armie Hammer?’ You went to the Halloween party with Elizabeth Chambers this year. How long have you been sleeping with Armie? Do you also practice BDSM with him in the Cayman Islands? Everyone already knows who you are, sugar baby of disgusting men.’”
It’s hard for audiences to miss the fact that Elizabeth Chambers and the cast of Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise are filming two different shows. While Elizabeth, 41, is primarily focused on opening her BIRD Bakery company’s first location in Grand Cayman, the Freeform series also stars Selita Ebanks, Courtney McTaggart, Chelsea Flynn, […]
She added: “If you ask my opinion, Elizabeth planned these attacks because the email address on one of the fake accounts was ExxxxxxxX.” The same number of stars that would spell Elizabeth X. She’s not that smart.”
Elizabeth and Armie were married for over a decade before announcing their separation in July 2020. The couple, who share daughter Harper, 9, and son Ford, 7, divorced three years later. Armie continued to make headlines when he was accused in 2021 of sending graphic text messages to several women about his sexual fantasies, including rape, mutilation and cannibalism.

“I am shocked, heartbroken and devastated,” Elizabeth wrote about the scandal via Instagram in February 2021. “My grief aside, I am listening and will continue to listen and educate myself on these sensitive issues. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know.”
Although Elizabeth tries to put the drama behind her, she couldn’t avoid it on the Freeform reality series. She surprised viewers by refusing to go into specific details when asked in a confessional.
“NO. End of discussion,” she said in an episode that aired earlier this month. “Ultimately, only I know the truth. I’m not a fucking king when I play this game. I’ve lived it, I know it. I know the truth. So at the end of the day, you don’t know unless you’ve been there.”
During an exclusive interview with UsElizabeth talked about her experiences on Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise.
“I would certainly say that this is not my reality. This show is not my reality that exists for me in everyday life. My daily routine consists of flying back and forth with my kids and doing my other show. But it was fun,” she shared. “I think the lesson is, ‘Be true to yourself and don’t do or say anything you’ll regret.’ Of course that’s not necessarily what you see on screen, but ultimately it’s just about knowing yourself, knowing those boundaries and being authentic about it.”
Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET on Freeform and is available to stream the next day on Hulu.
