Following more than two years of investigation, the Los Angeles County District Attorney has decided not to file sexual assault charges against actor Armie Hammer. A woman, using the name Effie, alleged that Hammer had raped her in 2017 and had been physically abusive with her over a four-year, on-again/off-again relationship. She reported him to police in Feb. 2021.
“Sexual assault cases are often difficult to prove, which is why we assign our most experienced prosecutors to review them,” Tiffiny Blacknell, the D.A. office’s Director of the Bureau of Communications,...

The Los Angeles police department is moving forward with investigating sexual assault allegations against Armie Hammer and has handed them off to the district attorney.
On Monday, the office’s communications director, Tiffiny Blacknell, told CNN that the LAPD has “presented a case regarding Armie Hammer to the Lada” and that the matter is “currently under review.”
The extent and details of the investigation remain undisclosed; however, in March 2021, at a press conference with attorney Gloria Allred, a woman only identified as “Effie” accused the “Call Me By Your Name” star of rape.

In 2021, multiple women came forward accusing Armie Hammer of sexual assault and physical abuse. Now, two years later, the "Call Me by Your Name" actor is speaking out for the first time. On Feb. 4, the newsletter Air Mail shared Hammer's first interview since the abuse allegations surfaced. In the interview, Hammer denies all criminal wrongdoing, but does state that it's fair to say he was emotionally abusive to the women with whom he engaged in relationships.
"I would have these younger women in their mid-20s, and I'm in my 30s. I was a successful actor at the time. They could have been happy to just be with me and would have said yes to things that maybe they wouldn't have said yes to on their own," Hammer said. "That's an imbalance of power in the situation."

Armie Hammer is speaking out on allegations stemming from two years ago that he abused multiple women, as well as the sexual practices that put him at the center of controversy.
In an exclusive interview with Air Mail, Hammer said that he was sexually abused by a youth pastor when he was 13, which “set a dangerous precedent in my life.” Hammer’s downfall as a would-be Hollywood movie star was tangled up in associations with Bdsm and cannibalistic fetishes that were revealed on social media. A user named Effie, who shared screenshots in early 2021 dating back to 2017, also accused Hammer of rape.
Hammer, in the interview, conceded to emotional abuse toward his past partners while also denying any criminal wrongdoing.

Two years after he faced a series of sexual abuse allegations that ended his career as a movie star, Armie Hammer is attempting to tell his side of the story. In a new interview, he reveals that he contemplated suicide after his downfall and claims he was sexually abused by a youth pastor at 13.
Hammer — who was the subject of an LAPD investigation after being accused of rape — denies all criminal wrongdoing, but admits to being emotionally abusive toward former partners he had met on the internet.
The actor, who was accused of having cannibalistic fetishes, now says that his interest in Bdsm originates from being sexually abused by his youth pastor when he was 13 years old.
“What that did for me was it introduced sexuality into my life in a way that it was completely out of my control,” Hammer says. “I was powerless in the situation. I had no agency in the situation.

Armie Hammer has spoken.
The embattled actor granted his first interview since a sex abuse scandal imploded his life, Hollywood career and marriage, by sitting down with writer James Kirchick of Graydon Carter’s Air Mail. In the exclusive conversation, Hammer responds at length to the sexual misconduct allegations, denies any criminal wrongdoing while accepting responsibility for being a selfish “asshole” who used people and moved on, challenges a rape claim by providing Kirchick with direct messages from an accuser, and offers an update on his recovery.
The bigger bombshells come as Hammer tells Kirchick that his interest in Bdsm and sexual power dynamics are the result of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a youth pastor who allegedly molested him when he was 13 years old. He also revealed, for the first time, his suicidal intent in the Cayman Islands in February 2021 by swimming as far out in the...

What began with one woman sharing her story eventually led to a snowball effect as many of Hammer's former girlfriends stepped forward to share horrifying accusations and proof of threatening text messages. The actor has since been accused of rape and abuse. He ended up losing his agent, dropping out of multiple projects, and remains at the center of an LAPD sex crimes investigation. The latest word on the matter is the news surrounding "House of Hammer," a three-part Discovery+ docuseries, which arrived on the streamer earlier this week.

“This documentary contains graphic descriptions of violence, sexual abuse and coercive control.”
That’s the warning viewers see when they first tune into “House of Hammer,” a new three-part docuseries from Discovery+, which exposes details surrounding the sexual abuse allegations against Armie Hammer.
In early 2021, an onslaught of unverified messages that “The Social Network” star had allegedly sent to women surfaced on social media after one of his exes began to anonymously post graphic messages in which Hammer allegedly texted, “I am 100 a cannibal” and “I want to eat you.” The messages snowballed and Hammer’s career went into freefall.
Hammer has denied all allegations, maintaining that any and all interactions with his sexual partners were consensual and mutually participatory. But numerous women have accused him of abuse, coercion and even rape, which lead to an LAPD investigation.

“Effie,” one of the women who, in 2021, had accused Armie Hammer of rape and physical abuse, called producers of the new Discovery+ docuseries “House of Hammer” “disgusting” for “exploiting” her trauma even though she opted to not be included in the project.
The three-part documentary from Elli Hakami and Julian Hobbs that premiered on Friday explores the allegations leveled against the “Call Me by Your Name” star last year, as well as the disturbing history of his family.
Only one accuser, Courtney Vucekovich, agreed to be interviewed for the series; Effie did not. She told the LA Times on Friday that, when she was first approached by Hakami and Hobbs, she responded to them in writing, saying, “It is extremely inappropriate of you to exploit such a tragic, vulnerable time in many people’s lives, with no regard whatsoever for our healing process and privacy.”

Unfortunately, this three-part Discovery+ docuseries has little new to say on its subject — or the themes of power and abuse — because we’ve seen this narrative play out many times before. Hell, even just this week actor Shia Labeouf, accused of abusive behavior by an ex-lover, embarked on a redemption tour in the hopes of reshaping his own narrative. Bad behavior from Hollywood’s It boys didn’t start or end with the “Call Me By Your Name” star.
Then again, “House of Hammer” is about a generational legacy all its own. When the actor came to prominence in 2010 with the release of David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” much was made about his connection to Los Angeles’ prominent Hammer family. As this project will remind you continuously,...

It almost feels too early for a documentary series about the abuse allegations against Armie Hammer. If you leave out the fact that much of the scandal takes place via texts and Instagram DMs, it feels like the kind of story we might learn decades later, perhaps in a harrowing season of Karina Longworth’s “You Must Remember This” podcast. A rich and handsome movie star with a dark personal life? That’s most certainly not a new concept. Plus, there’s no ending yet. Despite many public accounts of his treatment of romantic partners, including accusations of rape, Armie Hammer is just selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands, biding his time until an inevitable comeback attempt.
But the point of “House of Hammer,” the new docuseries on Discovery+, is that this scandal goes back further than most people might realize. The Hammer family is made up of a long...

An explosive new documentary explores allegations surrounding Armie Hammer, as well as the Hammer family history at large.
Released on Discovery+ on Friday (2 September), House of Hammer is a three-part examination of the alleged abuses of the actor, which then delves into the reported wrongdoings of Armand Hammer, the actor’s grandfather.
In 2021, a woman identified as Effie publicly accused the Call Me By Your Name star of raping and abusing her, a claim he denies. Since then, others have alleged sexual misconduct against the actor, two of whom appear on camera in the documentary series.

The messages, which were not verified, include graphic accounts of sexual acts and references to fetishes such as cannibalism.

Armie Hammer’s exes, alleged victims and family members are speaking out against the actor in the new trailer for the Discovery+ docuseries House of Hammer.
The more than three-minute look at the upcoming series chronicles the accusations of sexual assault, cannibalism fantasies, branding threats and more leveled against the actor.

Armie Hammer is exiting another project.
According to multiple reports, the actor is no longer a part of Paramount+'s The Godfather series, The Offer.
Hammer was announced last month as the lead of the 10-episode limited series that tells the story of the making of the 1972 movie.
He was set to play Al Ruddy, the producer responsible for bringing the movie to fruition.
The news comes weeks after he exited the Jennifer Lopez rom-com Shotgun Wedding as allegations about his personal life swirled.
Hammer has shut down claims that leaving the rom-com was due to the alleged direct-messaging scandal.
“I’m not responding to these bulls—t claims, but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for four months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic,” he told TMZ at the time.
“Lionsgate is supporting me in this,...
