Armie Hammer talks 'cannibal' scandal as he reveals he's living in a 'tiny-ass apartment'

Armie Hammer is discussing the tumultuous events of his life in 2021, when he faced severe backlash due to allegations of sexual assault and shocking accusations of involvement in ‘cannibalism.’

The 38-year-old actor, known for his role in Call Me By Your Name, saw his career take a hit following accusations of assault and the sharing of violent fantasies. While the LAPD investigated the claims in 2023, no charges were ultimately filed against him.

During an episode of the Your Mama’s House podcast, Hammer shared that he is currently living in a small apartment and focusing on rebuilding his professional life. He reflected on how the controversy surrounding him captured the public’s attention during the COVID-19 lockdown.

‘The world seemed like it was falling apart, and people were just deeply unhappy with their own lives,’ he said. ‘Then this salacious story comes out about an actor wanting to murder and eat people. And all of a sudden, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, this is so much more fun to focus on than the fact that I can’t leave my living room.’”

Hammer went on to explain how the media storm spiraled as more stories emerged, adding, ‘If anyone took anyone’s bedroom conversations, even if it was completely vanilla, and read it out of context, everyone would go, “You guys are f—ing disgusting.”‘

He also revealed how the scandal hit his finances and mental health. 

‘I was so broke, I had to sell my truck because I couldn’t afford gas anymore,’ he shared. 

When asked if he was losing his mind during the fallout, he admitted, ‘I was just in full panic mode.’

He explained how the persona he had built up was shattered, leaving him exposed and vilified: ‘There would be articles in The Punjabi Times about how I was a cannibal…and in March 2021, I was the fifth most-searched person on Google, and all of it was negative.’

Describing the toll it took on him, Hammer said, ‘You’re just left standing there naked in front of the world, with all your proclivities and kinks being judged. That s— is tough.’

Hammer also reflected on his past behavior with women, admitting that he used them to feed his ego. 

‘People were my bags of dope with skin on it,’ he said on the podcast. ‘Having people want to have sex with me gave me a sense of power and validation.’

He confessed to using women for his own gratification and leaving them feeling used, explaining, ‘I would scoop these girls up, take them on whirlwind trips, have great sex, and then just bounce, leaving them feeling like they were sucked into this tornado.’

The actor, who has previously shared his own trauma of being sexually assaulted by a pastor at 13, revealed he’s been in therapy and reflecting on his actions. 

He also spoke about his children, who he recently spent the holidays with, acknowledging that they might one day feel the effects of his actions. 

“I’m well aware that my daughter and son are gonna get to a point where they do therapy, and they’ll say, ‘I hate my dad, too.’”  

He shares two children, daughter Harper and son Ford, with his ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers, and they have been co-parenting since their 2020 split.

Despite the fallout, Hammer recently shot a film, Frontier Crucible, with William H. Macy. 

‘I wouldn’t say I’m back,’ he said, ‘but I’m working.’
