In 2021, the actor’s life came crashing down when numerous women came forward to report cases of s*xual abuse and cannibalism against Armie Hammer. This triggered a police investigation which eventually led to results and Hammer was let go scot-free. Regardless of that, Hammer has continually fought to regain his place in Hollywood which is still hesitant to accept the actor back.

Hammer’s ex-girlfriend even accused him of violent behavior in the bedroom that affected her drastically and even left her in massive pain. However, the actor’s lawyers claimed that the allegations were outrageous. Hammer further sent some texts that detailed his cannibalistic fantasies which put him in a pickle. At the end of the day, the entire rebuttal by Hammer was built on the fact that all s*xual encounters were consensual.

When his entire world was on the verge of blowing up, Hammer chose to come forward and make a heartfelt confession. The police investigation, even though led to no concrete conclusion, made Hammer the center of negative publicity. In a newsletter called Air Mail, Hammer said,

I had a very intense and extreme lifestyle. I would scoop up these women, bring them into it – into this whirlwind of travel and s*x and drugs and big emotions flying around – and then as soon as I was done, I’d just drop them off and move on to the next woman, leaving that woman feeling abandoned or used.

This confession presented Hammer in a more humane light, as a person who saw his flaws and accepted them. His further revelation of being abused when he was just 13 years old gave an explanation for his present demeanors.

The Call Me By Your Name actor saw an opportunity to present his perspective and he took it. In the podcast Armie HammerTime, the actor shared his take on what went down in the past few years that blew this whole debacle out of proportion. Hammer claimed that these allegations were just made to make some noise and stir trouble. He added,

What makes more noise? Armie Hammer is a cannibal, or Armie Hammer might not be a cannibal? The cannibal thing makes more noise, and you don’t get an apology tour in this world. Like, someone says something about you, everyone believes it, and then they move on with their lives to whatever it is that they’re focused on because they’ve got their own lives.

His perspective also sheds light on how soon rumors can be seen as truths even though they threaten to unravel one’s entire life. It was a nightmare for Hammer to deal with everything that followed but the actor feels grateful to have survived that battle.

The actor is finally gearing up for his big Hollywood return and rebuilding his reputation. Hammer agreed to stay silent for over 2 years when his lawyers claimed that the cannibalism and rape allegations would only get worse if he said something that was misinterpreted. He chose to follow the advice and is thankful to have done that because he feels hopeful for another chance at regaining his standing in the industry.

After losing roles in ventures like The Offer and Shotgun Wedding, Hammer was on the lookout for a movie that could prove his worth to everyone in Hollywood. He is poised to star in a Western flick called Frontier Crucible, directed by Travis Mills. Putting the case and allegations behind him, Hammer wants to wipe the slate clean and embark on a renewed chapter in his life.
