Sam Haskell Jr. apparently he couldn’t stomach the gore depicted in a horror movie – something he told a friend earlier this year… even though he’s accused of being a butcher.
TMZ has obtained IG DMs from Samuel – the son of Hollywood super agent – ​​from May 2023 Samuel Haskell Sr. — sent to his ex-personal trainer Troy Piedade …which hit “The Forever Purge,” a movie that SHJ said made him feel sick because of the dismembered bodies.
Watch the back and forth between them for yourself… it’s quite eye-opening.
As you can see, Sam brings up ‘The Purge’ and writes… “Forever purge was a little different, fools really get chopped to pieces in Mexico, it’s hard for me to make a movie about it, I’m done with purge 2 anarchy.” He then says he wants to make a movie with Troy.
We spoke with Troy, who now tells us that over the 14 years he knew Sam…he felt something strange when he actually started training him at Bally’s in Encino in 2009.
Troy says he feels like Sam was very worried and claims the guy would go out of his way to mess with people at the gym… because he knew he (Troy) would protect him.

Despite his strange behavior, Troy tells us he never thought his former client would go so much for murder …something LA County authorities have alleged against Sam.
Troy says he and Sam kept in touch on IG after he left the gym, where they regularly discussed topics like horror movies and fitness… including this brief conversation about dismembered bodies, which Sam said was too much for him. FWIW, law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD is aware of Sam’s interest in horror movies and they are looking into it.
Monday, LA County District Attorney’s Office George Gascon announced that Haskell Jr. was hit 3 assassination attempts at the death of his 37-year-old wife, Mayand her parents… 72 years old Gaoshan Li and 64 years old Yanxiang Wang.
Of course, this came after we published a video that appears to show Sam dumping which may well have been a body. A homeless man found a human torso in the same dumpster the next day.

There’s more video showing Sam giving/receiving other bags… that day laborers claimed contained human remains. It seems the police believed them.
As Haskell Jr. If convicted, he faces life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
