Armie Hammer’s Hollywood star went dark instantly in 2021 following allegations of sexual assault, cannibalism, and emotional abuse. Discovery+’s next documentary hammer house details the allegations and discusses the sordid history of the men in the Hammer family. The synopsis for the show reads:
“Debauchery. Deceit. Abuse. Addiction. Corruption. Over the course of five generations, the men of the Hammer family harbor more secrets and scandals than any vault can hold. Behind the money and power lies a dysfunctional dynasty with its male characters exhibiting the devastating consequences of unchecked privilege”.
This piece looks at the disgraced Armie Hammer now.
Armie Hammer is reportedly selling timeshares in the Cayman Islands
armie hammer said vanity fair I hated living in the Cayman Islands. However, when his life capitulated under the weight of the sexual assault allegations, Hammer returned to the islands to stay close to his family. Hammer wrote on Instagram:
“Well… my ex-wife (for a very good reason) refuses to return to the United States with my children. So I have to go back to the Cayman Islands… she sucks. Except there are some positives.”
Hammer often claimed to be independent of his family’s fortune, and based on his current situation, it appears he was telling the truth. Armie told him vanity fair that he was proud to survive on his earnings, not his family’s wealth. However, back then, Armie still had an acting career that financed a luxurious life.
With his acting career over, perhaps never to return, Armie has taken a ‘regular’ job: reports say he’s selling hotel timeshares in the Cayman Islands.
Initial reports alleged that Armie worked as a janitor at Morritt’s Resort. Variety disputed the allegation, citing a resort employee who said some hotel staff, friends of Hammer, had tried to prank guests by promoting Armie as a concierge.
After TMZ reported that Armie was a time-share salesman, not a concierge, an employee at the resort questioned Hammer’s employment, stating that he occasionally “hangs around” the place. A source later said Variety that the staff member was trying to protect Armie, who was in fact selling timeshares at the hotel:
“He is working at the resort and selling timeshares. He’s working in a cubicle. The reality is that he is completely broke and is trying to fill the days and earn money to support his family.
Armie’s insistence on being close to family is in stark contrast to his attitude in 2020 when he couldn’t stand his family. vanity fair reported that Armie’s decision to leave his family convinced his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, to file for divorce.
Hammer checked into rehab after prolonged drug use
After the birth of their son, Armie Hammer admitted to Elizabeth that he had cheated once (reports claim he cheated on multiple occasions from 2016 to 2020). The revelation stung Chambers, but her commitment to her therapy showed her desire to make things work with Hammer.
Armie’s defection from his family during the pandemic was the last straw. Hammer exacerbated the situation by mistakenly sending an obscene message intended for a lover to his frustrated and angry ex-wife.
A self-confessed party lover, Hammer turned openly to drugs and women after Chamber filed for divorce. He also got five tattoos in a few months, including the word ‘chaos’. His private Instagram page chronicles the life of a man without restrictions.
She captioned a photo of a strapped up mannequin: “If the quarantine doesn’t start moving faster I’m going to fuck this up.” Along with a photo of him taking a drug test, she wrote:
“All negative, bitches. My body is a finely tuned toxic processing unit. To be fair, he had THC and benzos in his urine. But who doesn’t?
Remember how Hammer said that going back to the Cayman Islands had “some positives”? The Instagram post of her with a lady in lingerie suggested that she was among the ‘silver linings’.
Hammer has abandoned his party lifestyle, whether through necessity, will, or circumstance. According vanity fairHammer spent six months in a Florida rehabilitation center. Robert Downey Junior, who has been open about his battle with addiction, paid for Hammer’s treatment.
The report stated that Downey Jr. has pledged to provide financial and moral support to Hammer until he recovers. Before returning to the Cayman Islands, Hammer lived in one of Robert’s houses in Los Angeles.
Armie’s friends believe the accusations against him are exaggerated
An upcoming Discovery+ documentary will highlight the allegations against him. We will not delve into the accusations; however, we’ll provide a supposed message Armie sent to act as an introduction to what you’ll likely see in the miniseries:
“Rape you in your apartment with a knife against you. Everything else seemed boring. You crying and screaming, me standing next to you. I felt like a god. I had never felt such power or intensity.”
Armie responded to the allegations through the following statement from his attorney, Andrew Brettler:
“All interactions between Mr. Hammer and his former partners were consensual. They were widely discussed, agreed in advance with his partners and mutually involved in it. The stories perpetuated on social media were designed to be salacious in an effort to harm Mr. Hammer, but that doesn’t make them true.”
Hammer has not directly responded to his accusers, but some of his friends have. They said vanity fair they believe that the accusations against Hammer are exaggerated. One person who has known Armie and her family for more than two decades told the publication:
“He did some stupid things. You don’t send messages like that if you’re a famous movie star. You know your limits. Given his family history, I’m sure there’s some damage there, but basically he’s a sweet man, who apparently likes kinky sex.”
