In her book, she alleged that her father, Julian Hammer (Armie’s grandfather), had sexually abused her and other family members when she was a child, a revelation that she’s expected to discuss further in the docuseries. She severed ties with her relatives years ago and, in 2015, published an explosive autobiography, Surviving My Birthright. The actor’s aunt, Casey Hammer, is also participating in the show. The documentary features the accounts of several of the star’s alleged victims, and they provide previously unpublished documents, including voice messages (“My bet was going to involve showing up at your place, completely tying you up and incapacitating you, and then being able to do whatever I wanted in every single hole in your body until I was done with you,” Armie says in one message). However, the premiere of House of Hammer – the three-part docuseries about his family’s history that premieres this Friday, September 2 on Discovery+ – is poised to thwart that strategy. According to Variety, the actor also completed a stint at a rehab facility to treat his various addictions.ĭuring all this time, Hammer has been keeping a low profile, perhaps hoping that the storm will die down soon. When he was last spotted, Hammer was working as a timeshare salesman near a hotel in the Cayman Islands, where his children and ex-wife also live. Filmed in 2019 and released in 2022 after numerous postponements, Death on the Nile was the last film in which he appeared he was conspicuously absent from efforts to promote the film, including the movie poster. Nonetheless, the scandal has forced the actor out of all the projects in which he’d planned to participate. Through his representatives, Hammer has categorically denied the veracity of the messages. He had a certain hold over me,” she told E! News. “The scariest part of it is that I did love him in a way. She saw a pattern of behavior mentioned in the messages that resembled what she said the star had done with her.

I didn’t feel comfortable.” As a result, Vucekovich said, she’d suffered panic attacks and needed therapy after her relationship with Hammer. For God knows what reason, he convinced me that these things were OK and he put me in some dangerous situations where I was not OK, where he was heavily drinking, and I wasn’t drinking that way and it scared me. When I say consuming, I mean mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, just everything.” She went on to note that “he did some things with me that I wasn’t comfortable with.

Vucekovich alleged that she had not consented to the sadomasochistic practices in which they engaged. Some defended Hammer against what appeared to be kink shaming (mocking someone for their unusual sexual preferences), on the assumption that he was being humiliated for having expressed intimate fantasies that were not necessarily linked to real criminal behavior.Įvents took another turn on January 14, when the actor’s former girlfriend Courtney Vucekovich told the gossip website Page Six about her “not only weird and gross, but emotionally abusive” experiences with Hammer (the article’s headline was “He wanted to barbecue and eat me”).

In January 2021, an anonymous Instagram account posted messages that actor Armie Hammer, 36, the then-unstoppable star of Call Me By Your Name (2017), Operation U.N.C.L.E (2016) and The Lone Ranger (2010), had allegedly sent.
