Armie Hammer is no stranger to the spotlight. Having starred in films like The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name, the Hollywood A-lister landed himself a prominent spot in the public eye.
Although, at the peak of his career in 2021, Armie was making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Deeply troubling reasons that resulted in a very public, very swift fall from grace.
The chain of events kicked off when multiple women came forward with several sexual assault allegations against Armie, which led to leaked messages that alleged his cannibalism fantasies.
Chronicling the deeply troubling accusations levelled against the disgraced actor is the much-talked-about docuseries, House of Hammer, which will officially premiere in Australia this weekend.
What allegations were made against Armie Hammer?
In early 2021, a woman known only as Effie came forward to allege that Armie had attacked and raped her in 2017, after they’d had an affair lasting years.
“I tried to get away, but he wouldn’t let me. I thought that he was going to kill me,” she alleged. “He then left with no concern for my well-being. I was completely in shock and couldn’t believe someone I loved did that to me.”
Text messages were also leaked via social media, claiming to have been sent by Armie that detailed the actor’s cannibalistic desires.
One text read: “Would you come and be my property till you die? If I wanted to cut off one of your toes and keep it with me in my pocket so I always had a piece of you in my possession?”
While the 36-year-old repeatedly denied each accusation, he was dropped by his talent agency and withdrew from romantic comedy, Shotgun Wedding.
He has since retreated from the screen and Hollywood entirely.
What is House of Hammer about?
The three-part documentary, House of Hammer, delves deeper into the horrifying allegations made against Armie, featuring “exclusive revelations from Armie’s aunt, Casey Hammer, and multiple survivors of Armie’s alleged abuse.”
The series also brings to light the dark secrets – ranging from accusations of violence and abuse to political manipulation and financial fraud – hidden within the Hammer family.
“Each episode will shine a light on a depraved pattern of abuse that extends far beyond the alleged accusations brought against the disgraced actor,” the synopsis reads.
“Coupled with a trove of incredible archival footage, House of Hammer weaves together a chilling story of the dysfunction and wickedness that grow behind decades of power and money.”
