Summary
Armie Hammer told The Hollywood Reporter his fall from Hollywood after 2021 sexual-assault and cannibalism allegations felt like being “on the cross,” saying he saw no way to fight his way back.
2023 brought no charges after Los Angeles prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence, but Hammer said the accusations still derailed his career and drove him to retreat to the Cayman Islands.
Hammer said he stopped obsessively reading online reaction and instead focused on his health and children as he tried to move past the scandal.
The actor also accepted partial responsibility for the fallout, saying he did not commit what he was accused of but had brought “dangerous and unsafe people” into his life.
The interview revisits a scandal that erupted after leaked messages described rape, violence and cannibalistic fantasies; his divorce from Elizabeth Chambers was finalized in 2023.
