After a successful career in the entertainment industry, Hammer’s life began to come apart last year when he was accused of sexual assault.
The culmination of several allegations led to Discovery’s series House of Hammer, which investigated the life and family of Armie Hammer.
According to the documentary Hammer was biting women, tracking them and and even claimed he wanted to brand someone.
In a series of alleged texts he claimed “I am 100% a cannibal… Fuck that’s scary to admit.”
“You crying and screaming, me standing over you. I felt like a god,” another allegedly read. “I’ve never felt such power or intensity.”
“I’m not gonna lie. You crying and crawling away while I stalked you down your hallway was so exhilarating.”
“I need your blood. I crave it.”
“I want to see everything… I want to see your brain, your blood, your organs, every part of you… I would definitely bite it… 100%… Or try to fuck it. Not sure which… Probably both.”
Allegedly, the AmEx account is a shared account between himself and ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers. it is expected that the issue will be resolved when the divorce is finalised. Hammer and Chambers filed for divorce in July of 2020. Chambers labelled the doco-series as “heart breaking on so many levels and very painful.”
“The past is the past and all we can do is take this as a moment to learn and listen, and hopefully process and heal in every capacity.”
“It didn’t feel great, especially when you feel like you have done that work… But the moral of the story is that work is never done.”
