Armie Hammer, star of “Call me by your name,” refuted rape allegations in his first interview in two years following his rapid fall from grace and the controversy that ended his career.
The 36-year-old former Hollywood star claimed he was sexually abused by a youth pastor when he was 13, and admitted to considering suicide after his reputation collapsed.
Hammer, who was the focus of an LAPD investigation after being accused of rape, confessed to being emotionally abusive to former partners he met online, but denied all criminal misconduct.
Hammer recounted his side of the story in an interview with the online publication Air Mail. He reportedly told two individuals about the torture he experienced as a child, and according to the same media outlet, his godmother backed his story.
In 2021, a number of women came forward and accused Hammer of inappropriate behavior and sexual abuse.
As these allegations spread on social media, the actor became the subject of a media frenzy. Following the controversy, Hammer’s agency, WME, terminated him and he was let go from a number of projects.
The actor has spent time in a rehab center and worked as a timeshare salesman in the Cayman Islands during the previous two years.
In “House of Hammer,” a Discovery+ docuseries that aired last year, several of Hammer’s accusers came forward in front of the camera.
In his latest interview, Hammer goes into great depth about some of the accusations leveled at him, challenging the validity of the allegations and presenting a totally different picture from that which his accusers had intended.
The LAPD investigation into Hammer was sparked by the most serious accusation made against him: that he had viciously raped a woman named Effie.
The “House of Effie” Instagram account, which originally published alarming accusations against Hammer and attracted considerable attention in early 2021, is run by the same Effie.
In the interview, Hammer said, “I’m here to own my mistakes, take accountability for the fact that I was an asshole that I was selfish, that I used people to make me feel better, and when I was done, moved on.”
One of Armie’s alleged victims said that he talked about devouring her body parts, which sparked cannibalism rumors.
“He said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it,” said the victim to Page Six media.
“He says, ‘I want to take a bite out of you.’ If I had a little cut on my hand, he’d, like, suck it or lick it. That’s about as weird as we got,” she further explained.
In the documentary about Harmie’s victims, his father’s sister Casey Hammer revealed that the entire family is terribly twisted and compared her family to the vindictive, dysfunctional Roys of HBO’s “Succession.”
Harmie’s family was immensely influential in the US. The documentary exposed horrific details about him and his entire family, which gave his victims credibility because they all had records of the horrifying things he had told them.
