Armie Hammer Breaks His Silence: “My Career is Nowhere Now"

June 16, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

In the blink of an eye, Armie Hammer went from being Hollywood’s hottest new actor to working in a cubicle, as a concierge, at a Caymans Island hotel.

Hammer’s downfall started after accusations of BDSM and cannibalistic fetishes were revealed on social media. It worsened when a social media user named Effie accused Hammer of rape. They supposedly had set a” safe word” before the BDSM commenced, but she never used it.

A major twist in this story occurred when noted feminist attorney, Gloria Allred, fired Effie once she wouldn’t sign a declaration putting her at risk of perjury for her accusations. Why didn’t she? It was a major PR disaster for the accuser. Police decided not to charge Hammer, and no further investigation was needed.

Hammer has now finally broken his silence on a little-known podcast called “Painful Lessons,” hosted by his friend, Tyler Ramsey. In the lengthy conversation, Hammer admits to his sinful past, which included promiscuous misdeeds, alcohol and drug addiction.

Looking good and healthy, Hammer immediately addressed the controversies, including that crazy one, which spread all over social media, that he was a cannibal.

People called me a cannibal. Like I ate people! What?? You know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people!

Hammer did admit that his sex scandal, which included accusations of abuse, and yes, cannibalism, forced him to hop onboard a 12 step program. He calls what he went through “a death,” admitting “I was drunk! I was high and I was acting like an idiot all the time!”

It was an ego death, a career death. A neutron bomb went off in my life. It killed off [everything].

Hammer actually reveals that he had thoughts of suicide and even semi-attempted it one evening before thinking about his family and what he would stand to lose in the process:

There were a lot of times when I thought I can’t take this anymore […] I was getting hate…so it just went right in… there was a time I was standing at the shore and I swam out really far and just laying there, a half-assed suicide attempt…But I thought I couldn’t do that to my kids.

Hammer does admit that his acting career is “nowhere now.” He says he’s not allowed to play in the Hollywood sandbox, but he’s “making my own sandbox” by writing a screenplay with a friend named Jerry.

In 2023, the actor was so broke after his #MeToo fallout that it was reported Robert Downey Jr. provided Hammer a temporary place to stay, and financial assistance until he got back on his feet.

Hammer’s downfall is fairly similar to Jonathan Majors. Both had skyrocketing careers, with acclaimed and successful films, before they reached rock bottom in the blink of an eye. The only difference is that Majors is set to receive a “perseverance award” next week in L.A.
